314-SE 4 Street in Ankeny, Iowa 50023 – This home was built in 1958 and we all know back then the insulation installed in between the studs didn’t provide alt of R-value.

With advanced technology in vinyl siding and siding installation in general, homeowners are now able to reside their home and actually upgrade the insulation value and lower the air infiltration rates.  How can this be done on an older home?

You need to remove the existing siding on the exterior walls of the home down to the sheathing.

Once the siding is removed it is a great time to inspect the exterior sheathing for and soft of rotten spots and replace with new material.

Cover all of the exterior walls of the home with a vapor barrier house wrap and or 3/8 Progressive Foam Pro-Fold.

Install window and door tape around all openings to prevent water and air infiltration.

Install American Classic Insulated Vinyl or Polymeric Siding and gain from 3.6 to 5.4 R-Value on the exterior of your home; eliminate any air or water infiltration.

Best of all, Brand New Home At The Same Old Address!
