Great siding is the first line of defense between Michigan’s weather and the home your family lives in. MVP Roof Pros installs Mastic by Ply Gem siding products — one of North America’s most trusted siding lines — with the same certified craftsmanship and honest guidance we bring to every exterior project across Michigan.
The Right Siding Does Three Jobs at Once. Most Homeowners Only Think About One.
When Michigan homeowners think about siding, curb appeal usually comes to mind first. And it matters — quality siding can transform a dated exterior into something that genuinely reflects the care you’ve put into your home. But the visual transformation is only part of the story, and arguably not the most important part.
Siding is your home’s primary barrier against Michigan’s moisture, wind, and temperature extremes. When it’s compromised — whether through age, impact damage, improper installation, or simple wear — water finds its way behind it. What follows happens slowly and invisibly: moisture in your wall cavity, wood rot in your sheathing, mold behind your drywall, and energy escaping through gaps that should be sealed. By the time the interior damage becomes obvious, the repair costs dwarf what the siding replacement itself would have cost years earlier.
Then there’s energy performance. Insulated siding systems act as a continuous layer of thermal protection around your home’s exterior, reducing thermal bridging through wall studs and meaningfully improving your heating and cooling costs. For Michigan homeowners dealing with natural gas bills in January, this isn’t a minor consideration.
MVP approaches every siding project the same way we approach every exterior project — with an honest assessment of what your home actually needs, transparent material recommendations, and installation that respects both the manufacturer’s specifications and your long-term investment.
"We chose siding based on the color. MVP helped us understand we should also be choosing it based on the insulation value, the impact rating, and what it would do to our energy bills. Nobody else talked to us about any of that."
MVP's estimate process begins with a thorough inspection of your current siding — checking for moisture intrusion, fastener failure, and hidden damage before we discuss any replacement options. You'll understand the full picture before making any decisions.
Michigan's precipitation and freeze-thaw cycles mean that proper flashing, house wrap integration, and trim detailing aren't optional extras — they're the difference between siding that lasts 30 years and siding that causes interior damage within 10. MVP's installations address the full moisture management system, not just the visible surface.
Replacing your siding at the same time as your roof or gutters is the smart approach — scaffolding, crew mobilization, and site protection are shared costs, and everything integrates properly from day one. Ask us about complete exterior packages when you call.
Hail and wind can damage siding just as seriously as roofing — and the claims process is equally complex. If your siding has storm damage, MVP can document it thoroughly and help you understand what your policy should cover before your adjuster makes a first offer.
Mastic by Ply Gem — Four Decades of Performance, Built for Climates Like Michigan's.
Mastic has been one of North America's most recognized siding brands for over forty years. Now part of the Ply Gem family — one of the continent's largest exterior building products manufacturers — Mastic brings together decades of product refinement, an industry-leading color palette, and the material science that demanding northern climates require. MVP is a proud authorized Mastic installer.
Not every siding brand performs equally in Michigan’s climate. When Derek and Brent evaluated product lines, they were looking for a manufacturer whose material specifications reflected the real-world demands of cold-climate installation — not just the warm-weather conditions where most siding failures don’t reveal themselves for years.
Mastic products are engineered for dimensional stability across extreme temperature ranges. Their vinyl formulations are specifically designed to resist the brittleness that causes cracking in Michigan winters and the thermal expansion issues that drive fastener failure in Michigan summers. The result is a product that holds its shape, holds its color, and holds its installation integrity through seasons that put inferior products to the test every year.
Beyond performance, Mastic's breadth of profiles and color options means MVP can offer Michigan homeowners a genuinely complete selection — from understated traditional profiles to bold architectural statements — without compromising on the underlying quality standard that protects their investment for decades.
Mastic's vinyl compounds are engineered to maintain flexibility at temperatures well below freezing — a specification that matters enormously in Michigan winters when inferior vinyl products become brittle and crack under impact or thermal stress.
Mastic's ColorHold technology is formulated to resist fading from UV exposure — Michigan's summers are more UV-intense than many homeowners realize, and cheaper vinyl fades visibly within five to seven years. Mastic retains its original color significantly longer.
Several Mastic product lines carry wind resistance ratings of 110 mph or higher — relevant for Michigan homeowners in regions prone to severe thunderstorm events, lake-effect wind events, and the occasional tornado warning.
Mastic products carry a limited lifetime warranty that is transferable to a new homeowner — real added value when you sell your Michigan home, and genuine protection throughout your time in it.
Mastic Product Lines We Install
Each profile below is available in Mastic’s full color palette. MVP will help you select the right combination of profile, color, and insulation option for your home during your free estimate appointment.
Mastic's flagship traditional profile — the Double 4" lap is the most familiar siding silhouette in Michigan neighborhoods and the one most homeowners picture when they imagine a beautifully sided home. Quest delivers the classic look with Mastic's modern engineering, including enhanced rigidity and ColorHold UV protection that keeps it looking freshly painted for years after installation.
The Dutch Lap profile adds a distinctive notched shadow line that creates visible depth and architectural character across a home's exterior. Wider than the traditional 4" profile, the Double 5" Dutch Lap gives larger Michigan homes a bolder, more expansive visual presence while maintaining the same performance standards. A popular choice for two-story homes and colonials throughout Genesee County and Southeast Michigan.
Mastic's insulated siding lines add a continuous layer of rigid foam insulation directly behind the siding panel, eliminating the thermal bridging that occurs through wall studs in standard installations. In Michigan homes — where heating season runs six months of the year and cooling season adds real cost — this R-value improvement is not cosmetic. It translates directly to reduced energy consumption, more consistent interior temperatures, and a quieter home environment. Available across Mastic's most popular profiles, insulated options represent the smart long-term investment for Michigan homeowners planning to stay in their homes for years to come.
Vertical siding creates a dramatically different aesthetic from horizontal lap profiles — taller, more architectural, and particularly effective as an accent on gables, entryways, and lower facades in combination with horizontal siding elsewhere on the home. Mastic's Board & Batten brings the traditional farmhouse and craftsman look into a low-maintenance vinyl product that Michigan homeowners can install with confidence in any exposure or orientation.
For homeowners who want the warmth and texture of cedar shake without the maintenance demands of real wood in Michigan's wet climate, Ovation Shake delivers a remarkably authentic appearance through Mastic's multi-step embossing process. Ideal for gable accents, upper story treatments, and full-home applications on craftsman, cottage, and traditional Michigan home styles. The polymer composite construction resists moisture, insects, and the warping that real wood shake develops through Michigan freeze-thaw cycles.
A complete siding installation isn't just the field panels — the trim, soffit, and fascia work is where the quality of an installation truly shows. Mastic's coordinating trim and accessory line is designed to integrate seamlessly with their siding products, providing consistent color matching and material performance across every visible exterior surface. MVP installs complete exterior trim packages that give your home the finished, polished appearance that partial siding jobs rarely achieve.
CertainTeed Siding — Over a Century of Craftsmanship, Built for the Real World.
Alongside our Mastic by Ply Gem product line, MVP Home Specialists installs CertainTeed siding — one of North America's most established and respected names in exterior building products. CertainTeed's siding portfolio spans everything from classic vinyl lap profiles to authentic cedar shake alternatives and modern vertical panel systems, all backed by their industry-leading PermaColor™ lifetime fade protection and limited lifetime warranty coverage that transfers at home sale.
CertainTeed has been a fixture in North American construction for well over a century — and their siding products reflect the kind of engineering depth that a manufacturer develops when it has installed cladding through decades of climate variability, code evolution, and shifting homeowner expectations. Their vinyl and polymer siding lines are engineered for dimensional stability across extreme temperature ranges, which matters in Michigan’s climate where panels cycle between deep winter cold and humid summer heat more dramatically than in most of the country.
What sets CertainTeed apart for Michigan homeowners is the breadth of their product line — from cost-effective entry options through premium architectural profiles — paired with PermaColor™ lifetime fade protection across every product tier. CertainTeed’s color formulations are independently tested for long-term UV resistance, which means the color you choose today still looks accurate in year fifteen, not washed out and inconsistent with your trim.
MVP brings the same consultation-first approach to CertainTeed products that we apply to every material selection decision — matching the right product tier to your home’s style, your budget, and the specific exposure and climate demands of your Michigan location. If CertainTeed is the right answer for your project, we’ll tell you exactly which line and why.
Every CertainTeed siding product — from entry-level to premium — includes PermaColor™ fade protection, a proprietary color formulation that maintains color integrity through decades of UV exposure. Michigan's summer sun is more intense than most homeowners expect; CertainTeed's color protection means your investment looks as intentional in year twelve as it did on installation day.
CertainTeed's major residential siding lines carry limited lifetime warranties that are transferable to a new homeowner at point of sale — a documented, verifiable added value that Michigan home sellers can present to buyers as tangible evidence of quality. Your CertainTeed installation is an asset you carry to closing day.
CertainTeed's premium siding lines feature TrueTexture surface technology — an advanced embossing process that replicates the visual depth, grain variation, and shadow character of real wood without the maintenance demands that real wood creates in Michigan's wet and variable climate. Up close, the difference from natural material is minimal. The maintenance difference is everything.
CertainTeed's flagship residential vinyl siding line, Monogram is engineered for homeowners who want the most durable, visually refined product in the vinyl category. At approximately .046" panel thickness — the thickest in the CertainTeed vinyl lineup — Monogram panels deliver exceptional rigidity, maximum resistance to the visual waviness that affects thinner profiles in heat, and a deep cedar-grain texture that reads as premium from the street.
CertainTeed's MainStreet line is the practical, reliable center of their vinyl siding portfolio — offering genuine quality and broad visual appeal without the premium pricing of Monogram. At approximately .042" panel thickness, MainStreet delivers solid weather resistance and dependable long-term performance across six available profiles, including Double 4", Double 4" Dutch Lap, Double 5", Double 5" Dutch Lap, Single 6½", and Triple 3" — a profile selection broad enough to suit virtually any Michigan home style from cape cods and ranches to colonials and craftsman homes.
For Michigan homeowners who want the warmth and texture of genuine cedar shake without the maintenance demands of real wood in a climate defined by humidity, freeze-thaw cycling, and heavy rainfall, Cedar Impressions delivers an authentically textured alternative that stands up where natural wood would not. CertainTeed's injection-molded polymer construction gives Cedar Impressions exceptional impact resistance and complete immunity to the rot, insect damage, and moisture infiltration that make real wood shake an ongoing maintenance burden in Michigan.
CedarBoards combines CertainTeed's authentic cedar-look surface with foam-backed insulation built directly into every panel — making it one of the most energy-efficient siding options available for Michigan homes. The continuous insulation layer reduces thermal bridging through wall studs, moderates interior temperature fluctuations through Michigan's dramatic seasonal swings, and measurably reduces exterior noise transmission. For Michigan homeowners who want the aesthetic of natural wood with the long-term energy performance of an insulated system.
CertainTeed's Board and Batten system brings the vertical profile that defines farmhouse, craftsman, and modern farmhouse architecture to Michigan homes without the ongoing maintenance challenges of traditional wood board and batten. The vertical panel orientation creates a taller, more architectural visual presence than horizontal lap profiles, making it a particularly effective choice for single-story Michigan homes that benefit from the height emphasis, or as a dramatic contrast element on gable ends, entryways, and lower facades in combination with horizontal siding.
RISE is CertainTeed's newest and most technologically advanced residential siding system — designed for Michigan homeowners who want the highest level of exterior performance, sustainability credentials, and visual refinement in a single product. Featuring CertainTeed's proprietary EcoShield technology, RISE panels incorporate a reinforced core construction that delivers superior impact resistance, dimensional stability across extreme temperature ranges, and a measurably improved insulation performance compared to standard vinyl profiles.
