When it comes to windows, siding, and doors, there’s definitely a benefit to choosing quality products over those that offer a perceptually better price. Often the lower price means lower quality, so a company that specializes in both top quality products and superior installation will save you money in the long run.
That’s the philosophy they subscribe to at the Home Siding Shop, which has been serving the Soo and the surrounding area since 2002. As a family owned and operated shop that specializes in top quality windows, doors, and siding, the Home Siding Shop understands the appeal of cheaper pricing, but they believe it’s important for consumers to consider the difference between economy and quality.
“We wouldn’t put a product in your house that we wouldn’t use in our own homes,” said Cassandra Lethbridge, company controller at Home Siding Shop. “You do get what you pay for. Quality installation makes just as much of a difference as the product being installed. You wouldn’t call a plumber to do your electrical work, so leave it to the professionals to do the job right the first time.”
Home Siding Shop is a local dealer of quality brands such as Strassburger, Larson, Gentek and Garaga, along with siding from Mitten by Ply Gem. Manufactured in Kitchener, Strassburger windows are made with multi-chamber PVC frames and insulating glass that provide thermal and structural performance in a wide range of styles, sizes and shapes. They also come with a lifetime warranty.
“Good installation isn’t going to make a bad window better,” said Lethbridge. “It’s why we continue to be a local distributor of quality products. All of our installers are employees that are specialized in certain areas. Along with our supplier’s warranties on their products, we offer a five-year workmanship warrant on our labour. This ensures better quality control when we can send our own employees back for anything the customer may require rather than trying to get a subcontractor to go back. We find this helps guarantee better customer satisfaction when they can rely on us to be there.
Other companies may offer a cheaper price, but there’s a big difference in the workmanship and the quality of products your getting and it’s important for the consumers to be aware of the product they are paying for.”
When it comes to their siding, Home Siding Shop sells a product that’s thicker and therefore better suited to the extreme seasons. “It’s not brittle like some of the other products available,” she said. “It’s why we’re able to install all year round and offer a lifetime fade warranty even on the dark colours.”
At Home Siding Shop, all their installers are trained professionals that are fully insured and covered for the homeowner’s protection. You can expect the best products and services at the best prices. Come see their showroom to discover their wide variety of products.
