Vinyl Siding Installation in Bloomington, IL
Vinyl siding is the most common type of siding used on homes and commercial buildings. This is a price-friendly product and durable exterior covering that will withstand most of Mother Nature’s elements. With the large selection of vinyl siding offered, there are varying benefits — from thermal resistance to different panel lengths and thicknesses.
Vinyl siding is the easiest product to clean and maintain the natural appearance of because it only requires a simple cleaning periodically. Unlike other products, maintenance will not affect the integrity or life expectancy of vinyl siding.
Why Vinyl
Choose a Siding Material That Lasts
If you’re in need of a siding replacement, there are few materials that compare to the benefits that vinyl siding offers. Not only is it an affordable investment, but it also lasts for decades while retaining its color, texture, and appearance. It’s easy to clean, maintenance is minimal, and it’s durable enough to withstand a variety of weather conditions.

Versatility
One of the biggest advantages that vinyl siding has above other siding materials is its versatility. Because vinyl siding is a synthetic material that’s manufactured rather than harvested, it can be customized in a variety of ways. Choose vinyl siding for your next siding installation if you want to customize the style, color, trim, and accessories of your siding. There are hundreds of colors to choose from, and the color is embedded into the vinyl, so it won’t fade over time the way painted siding does.
Moisture Resistant
Rain and snow are the biggest adversaries to your home’s structure. When investing in a new siding replacement, it’s important to ensure that the material you choose resists and repels moisture.
Vinyl siding is non-porous, which means it won’t absorb moisture from rain, snow, or humidity. This also means that it’s resistant to mold and mildew growth, a serious health hazard associated with more absorbent siding materials.
Eco-Friendly
Not only is vinyl siding recyclable, but its manufacturing process also has a much smaller effect on the environment than other types of material. As a durable, long-lasting material, it also needs to be replaced less frequently than other, more delicate materials, which cuts down the need to produce more material.
On top of these benefits, vinyl siding is also great at insulating your home. It works to regulate the temperature indoors, which can help lower heating and cooling costs, as well as energy consumption overall.
Durability
As a pliable material, vinyl siding is resistant to dings and dents. This helps prevent damage during weather events like high winds that can blow debris against your home.
Its sturdy, non-porous composition also makes vinyl siding resistant to warping, cracking, splitting, rotting, and pest damage. It easily expands and contracts with changes in temperature, so it can withstand extreme heat and cold.
Affordability
Vinyl siding is easy to manufacture, customize, and install — making it a great siding replacement option for those on a budget. You’ll save on material costs and labor without sacrificing material quality or installation craftsmanship.
Long-Lasting
Since vinyl siding is resistant to a variety of weather conditions and general wear and tear, it lasts an incredibly long time. Colors stay vibrant year after year, and panels retain their shape when faced with extreme conditions or impact.
To back up all of these benefits, many vinyl siding manufacturers offer extended and lifetime warranties on their products. So, if your vinyl siding installation is ever damaged, most repair costs will be taken care of.
VSI Certified Mastic Installer
The Mastic Vinyl Siding Styles We Install
Sundown Exteriors is VSI certified to install Mastic vinyl siding products by Ply Gem. Use one style across the whole house, or combine them, such as lap siding on the main walls with shakes or board and batten in the gables.
D4 (Double 4") Lap Siding
Horizontal · Classic Clapboard Look
Lap siding runs horizontally in long, even planks and resembles traditional wood siding. Each Double 4" (D4) panel shows two 4-inch courses, and the profile is available across Mastic's Quest, Carvedwood 44, Ovation and Mill Creek lines.
Cedar Discovery Shakes and Shingles
.080"–.100" Thick · Cedar Texture
Molded from hand-tooled cedar shingles, Mastic Cedar Discovery has the rugged look of real cedar shake without the staining, painting and replacing. Choose Hand-Split Shake, Double 7" Shingle, Triple 5" Shingle or Half-Round scallops for gables, bump-outs and accent walls.
Board and Batten Designer Series
.048" Thick · 7" Vertical Profile
Vertical board and batten siding makes a home look taller and more contemporary. Mastic's Designer Series pairs a 5" board with a 1.5" batten and works as full cladding or as an accent on gables, porches and entries, including four deep SolarDefense colors.
Structure Insulated Siding
1-1/4" Thick · Foam-Backed
Structure Home Insulation System combines Mastic vinyl siding with high-performance foam that wraps the home in a continuous blanket of insulation, improving thermal performance and impact resistance.
Insulated Vinyl Siding
Why Choose Structure Insulated Siding?
Structure is Mastic's premium insulated siding, available in Double 4", Double 4.5" Dutch Lap, Double 6" and Single 7" profiles.
Insulated
Expanded polystyrene foam and a rigid backing increase the R-value of exterior walls, helping lower energy bills year-round and reduce outside noise.
Up to 300% More Impact Resistance
The foam backing makes Structure panels far more dent resistant than standard vinyl siding.
Rated for 170 mph Winds
Mastic's patented T3-LOK panel locking system tightens under pressure, so the siding stays put in challenging weather.
Fewer Seams
Wide panels in extra-long lengths give a seamless look, even on larger homes, with a detailed cedar texture and a deep shadow line.
Color That Lasts
Hang-Tough technology puts color throughout the panel to hide minor nicks and scratches, and the Duranyl 5000 system adds UV protection to the deepest colors.
Low Maintenance
Structure siding never needs painting and is backed by Mastic's VIP Limited Lifetime Warranty.
