National Award Winning, Four Seasons Industries, Inc. as a company in the re-side (retrofit) business has been viewed by its contemporaries as an enigma for its tough stand against Vinyl Siding. The company has rejected the status-quo of the industry in the northeastern United States, with a “Tell all” approach and many purveyors of Vinyl Siding have been angered.
The company has openly scorned the Vinyl Siding profiteers for what it sees as a great wrong to the American consumer.
Four Seasons has rejected Vinyl Siding altogether and the use of “J” Channels for vertical wall siding application.
“When these channels fill with water at the window and door heads, the vertical nature of the application provides for velocity for the water and lateral discharge is the norm. Water spews outward when under pressure. Vinyl Siding leaks, and it leaks a lot,” according to Bob Wever, Project Manager and major contributor to the company website.
Four Seasons Industries, Inc. has answered the industry in the cladding of sidewalls of residential properties with the finest solid side wall products. Fiber Cement along with accompanying Cellular Solid PVC Trim has been the combination that this Award Winning contractor has employed to answer the industry that has for decades been dominated by thin plastic. Vinyl Siding has grown in use and has been sold as the cladding of the future for builders and the short-term cost conscious consumer.
Even though the sticker price is less than seemingly more expensive options, Four Seasons Industries, of Philadelphia, Pa. and Princeton, NJ maintains:
“Vinyl Siding Is the Most Expensive Siding you can put on your home.”
This is the message that you will get from the staff of this specialty company. Over two decades of chasing leaks caused by the failed vinyl siding has caused the company to put out the word. Unabashedly, the company website devotes valuable website resources to educating the consumer of the folly of the installation of these products.
“This is a rarity in this business to be with a company that actually tells the truth to the consumer,” says John Newcomb, Sales Associate of two years. “The majority of businesses try to meet the consumer’s perceived goals. Four Seasons tries to educate the consumer, whether they make a purchase or not,” continues Newcomb. The company is the one that “sets the beat, or writes the script, that the competitors try to match…..It’
“Four Seasons Industries was invited by the VSI (Vinyl Siding Institute) in 2006 to be certified in the installation of Vinyl Siding, but company management shunned the idea, as it was not an endeavor that would have proven fruitful in the direction the company was headed,” said Tom Johnson, Sales Associate for four years. “Especially since the VSI published the ‘Weather Barrier Statement,’ which fully exposes the paradox that the industry has to deal with: VINYL SIDING LEAKS and IT LEAKS A LOT!”
