Its quality suits higher-end homes.
Tom Oot, President, Oot Bros. Inc. Constructions, East Syracuse, NY
“Its quality suits higher-end homes. We can put The Foundry on a million-dollar home without any reservations, and we have. People who want the look of cedar really have few options. The Foundry for their dollar is the best choice. It’s competitively priced. We know the manufacturer stands behind its product 100 percent, and I think that’s just as important as anything.”
It’s almost always advantageous to spend money on the front end to avoid ongoing maintenance cost
Blair Sweeney, North 38 Apartments (VA) Development Manager, Franklin Holdings
“Especially in the multi-family development world, it’s almost always advantageous to spend money on the front end to avoid ongoing maintenance cost. These products have allowed us to do that.”
We recommend Foundry siding.
Ray Leonard, Construction Superintendent, Oot Bros. Inc. Construction, East Syracuse, NY
“We recommend Foundry siding. The 5’ panels are easily handled. It has a great look with the textured grain, it’s high-quality and it’s easy to install. We’re very happy with it. What’s impressive is that The Foundry doesn’t have the characteristics of typical vinyl siding. Much of vinyl here expands and contracts a lot because of our extreme temperature changes, and you can see it. In the summer, you’ll drive by a 12-ft. double 5” and you can see it actually buckling and waving. It can be very noticeable, while The Foundry looks more like natural siding.”
Homeowners think it looks like real cedar
Bill Byler, Owner, Dry Creek Siding, Huntsberg, OH
“Homeowners think it looks like real cedar and they like it because it’s maintenance-free. As a siding professional, there’s a lot to like about The Foundry. I like that the panels lock in from the bottom, instead of having a side lock. The Foundry’s continuous lock is strong all the way through. The way the panels are designed, it’s very easy to keep them straight. You just snap them in, push them down until you can’t see any line, and then everything’s right. It’s simple.”
The shake accents have an authentic look and the standard Foundry color we used was impressive
Phil Vetter, North 38 Apartments (VA) Project Manager, Wood Partners
“The shake accents have an authentic look and the standard Foundry color we used was impressive. Compared to the fiber cement siding, accent panels and wood trim that we typically use, vinyl’s just not as messy and labor intensive. I loved the ease and the speed of the Foundry’s installation. It was considerably cleaner.”
Premium vinyl like The Foundry is nice
Carl Rohrer, Homeowner, Sagamore Hills, OH
“Premium vinyl like The Foundry is nice. It’s thicker and it’s full of texture. I would recommend it to other homeowners. The Weathered Collection had come out recently before we built our house and it was something we chose. We liked that it was different, along with the fact that our specific color was unique in our community. We like The Foundry because it looks like cedar. From the street there’s a warm cedar feel to it. It’s just a really nice look.”
You can’t tell, unless you’re within a foot or two
Tom Oot, President, Oot Bros. Inc. Construction, East Syracuse, NY
“You can’t tell, unless you’re within a foot or two, that it’s not natural cedar. That’s authentic. Its quality suits higher-end homes. We can put The Foundry on a million-dollar home without any reservations, and we have.”
I like to put it up because I can cut it easily with my snips
Kyle Robinson, Manager, Alside Supply Center, Solon, OH
“I like to put it up because I can cut it easily with my snips. There’s virtually no waste. You can cut it on a seam, butt it up, and then you can’t even tell where you’ve cut, so you’ve made a factory edge. It’s very easy to work into a gable.”
Waste factor is very minimal
Tom Oot, President, Oot Bros. Inc. Construction, East Syracuse, NY
“Waste factor is very minimal compared to competitive products that have higher waste and higher cost. With other vinyl shingles, when you cut it at an angle as in a gable application, it’s very difficult to work with, whereas the Foundry product has solved a lot of those problems in the installation.”
