Creative Home Improvement is a family owned business that has been helping Fairfield County home owners with their vinyl siding needs for nearly 40 years. Today we’re talking with Andy about choosing the right insulation to go along with your new vinyl siding – and the difference it can make when it comes to keeping your home warm this winter.

After you make the decision to install vinyl siding on your home, a key decision is to decide on what type of insulation to go with. On this house we’re installing Dow insulation, 2 x 8 sheets, half inch. You can always go down to 3/8 insulation but the 2 x 8 sheets of half inch Dow is definitely more rigid. During the winter months you’re gonna save a lot on heating costs by going with the thicker insulation.

As craftsmen, our goal is to do exceptional work. And our mission is to provide such an amazing & positive experience that you can’t wait to run out and tell your neighbors about us! We work in many CT towns including Stratford, Seymour, Fairfield – and more.

Vinyl Siding Shelton Newtown Monroe CT … Why is custom aluminum trim important?

At Creative Home Improvement, we’ve been installing Vinyl Siding in Fairfield County for almost 40 years.

Today we’re on a job in Shelton Connecticut, talking about the advantages of using custom aluminum trim when hanging vinyl siding.

The key to a quality vinyl siding project is your aluminum trim. We make the aluminum trim with a built in j channel. Two aspects of the built in j channel custom made aluminum trim – the siding fits right into the built in j channel and it also acts a a flashing to protect any water infiltration around your windows.

If you can pretend this is your wood trim around your windows, what some companies do – they take j channel, your standard j channel, put it right up to your wood trim, then all they do is wrap this with aluminum. So you’re left with aluminum, j channel, and then siding. So by doing it with the custom built aluminum j channel, we skip the j channel step, and the vinyl siding fits right into the attached j channel on our aluminum trim. And here’s the finished product.

On many of our projects, including this one, we recommend Cedar impressions from Certainteed. As you can see it looks just like real wood shingles, but never has to be painted.
