What about Alside Vinyl Siding?

Alside products are designed to improve the enjoyment of your home, as well as its value. Whether you are remodeling, restoring a historic home or building a new one, you can create distinction and appeal with the colors, styles and features only Alside can offer.

Vinyl won’t split, peel or rot. And because its color goes clear through the panel, it never needs to be scraped, stained or painted.

Alside vinyl siding is manufactured with proprietary designs and ingredients to deliver greater durability, rigidity and wind resistance; more attractive, fade-resistant colors; more authentic touches and historical details. Maintenance? All you need is a garden hose to keep your siding looking great for years to come.

Whether you require exceptional appearance and the highest level of quality and performance or you’re looking for value without compromise, there’s an Alside siding system within our extensive selection to meet what you want and need, perfectly!

ENERGY SAVINGS: ENERGY TAX CREDITS

As you might already know, the new Stimulus Bill - known as The American Recovery & Reinvestment Act of 2009 - was signed into law on February 17, 2009. The bill extends and modifies the tax credits for qualifying products as established in the Energy Tax Policy Act of 2005.

Best of all, you can earn tax credits up to $1500! We’ll help match what you want and need to what’s eligible for part or all of the tax credit!

Rapid Roofing stands ready to help you with a wide array of energy-saving products. Not only do certain new roofs or windows qualify but new siding can also provide energy and tax relief.
