Install New James Hardie Siding

Unlike vinyl siding, Hardie siding won’t crack in cold weather.
Beef Up Your Insulation
If you’re concerned about rising heating bills a good place to combat it is by adding or installing insulation. Good Guys’ insulation of choice is Tripolymer injection foam. This is a foam that can be sprayed in wall cavities and can supplement existing insulation. It will improve the energy efficiency and it’s ecofriendly. Tripolymer foam is 100 percent biodegradable and can insulate hard to reach places such as pipe chases, which are false walls often built to hide pipes.
