Set the Tone Before Customers Come Inside
Commercial siding has a harder job than most people realize. It has to protect the wall assembly, keep tenants comfortable, and represent the business behind it. So once it starts failing, the effects don't stay hidden for long. The Roofing Store has been installing and replacing commercial vinyl siding throughout Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts since 1982, with an eye toward preventing such failures before they start.
We work on offices, storefronts, multi-unit properties, and light commercial buildings of all kinds. Across every commercial space, our goal stays the same: staying ahead of the tenant complaints, rising utility costs, and worn-out curb appeal that come with siding left too long.
Different Priorities, Different Solutions
The best product for your building depends on its design, your budget, and what you need the siding to do. We install commercial vinyl siding from CertainTeed and Alside, giving you access to two well-established product lines with distinct colors, profiles, and performance features.
As a CertainTeed Presidential Award winner, we've put the manufacturer's siding on everything from small offices to larger commercial properties. The variety of profiles and colors makes it a solid option when appearance is a top priority for the building.
Alside brings its own strengths to the table, including products designed around insulation, exterior appearance, and sound reduction. Those features tend to count most on mixed-use properties, multi-tenant buildings, offices, and spaces near busy roads.
The Value of Knowing What Comes Next
The sticker price of a siding project is only one part of the equation. Cleaning, repainting, repairs, weather damage, and eventual replacement all add up over a building's lifespan, and those costs tend to get overlooked until they show up on a budget line.
Vinyl siding costs less upfront than many alternatives, and it doesn't need repainting to maintain its appearance. When installed properly, it can serve a building for decades without asking much in return. For owners managing several units or larger properties, cutting back on recurring exterior maintenance makes long-term budgeting far more predictable.
Built to Handle New England's Extremes
Windham County, New London County, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts all see their share of hard freezes, humid summers, and driving rain. Vinyl siding resists it all, including moisture, pests, and rot, and it doesn't fade or peel the way painted surfaces do.
Insulated backing paired with the correct underlayment adds another layer of performance, cutting down on thermal transfer through exterior walls. That can translate to steadier indoor temperatures through cold winters and humid summers, which matters if you're tracking operating costs across offices, tenant spaces, or multiple units.
A Better Installation Starts Beneath the Surface
Commercial siding installation asks for more than fastening new panels to a wall. That’s why we always start by evaluating what's currently there. That means checking for damaged sheathing, moisture issues, failing underlayment, and deterioration around windows, doors, and other penetrations. If old siding needs to come off, we’ll remove it and address the substrate underneath rather than covering up problems that are still there.
We apply an AIA architectural installation method to commercial work, along with a proprietary installation system. Depending on the building, a project might include:
Removing existing siding where it's needed
Repairing or preparing the substrate underneath
Installing underlayment and weather-management components
Flashing and detailing around windows, doors, corners, and penetrations
Sequencing the installation around the building's layout
Fastening and spacing panels to allow for normal thermal movement
A final inspection once the siding is up
Every one of those steps affects how the finished exterior performs, so we treat siding installation as part of the whole building envelope rather than a surface-level update.
Sometimes a Repair Is Plenty
Not every siding concern calls for tearing everything off and starting over. When damage is limited to one area and the rest of the siding is still doing its job, a repair or service call usually gets the property back in shape. Full replacement is the better move when deterioration has spread throughout the building, the existing siding has reached the end of its life, or substrate trouble extends beyond a single section.
An on-site evaluation gives us a read on which direction fits your building before we lock in a scope of work. Deciding between repair and replacement becomes clear once we've had a look at the wall, and we'll go over what's driving that recommendation before you commit to either.
Take the Guesswork Out of Material Selection
Settling on a siding system across an entire commercial building is a decision, and it helps to see the materials in person before you do. Our Plainfield location has a 150-foot outdoor product display where you can compare product lines under natural light and at a realistic scale.
There's no substitute for seeing the material on your building before it's up. Viewing various colors, profiles, and textures side by side makes it easier to picture how everything will look together once it's on the building. Our project gallery is another good place to look, with photos of these materials installed on commercial properties just like yours.

Frequently Asked Questions
Vinyl can serve a building for decades when the wall is properly prepared, and the siding is installed according to the manufacturer's specs. Substrate condition, fastening, expansion allowances, flashing, and weather exposure all play into that lifespan.
It works well on many light commercial, mixed-use, multi-unit, office, and retail properties. The existing wall assembly, local code requirements, moisture conditions, and how windows and penetrations tie into the exterior all factor into whether vinyl is the best fit for a specific building.
The material itself is often similar, but commercial projects tend to involve larger wall areas, more complicated access, and additional sequencing. We treat commercial siding as a building-envelope installation, using the same AIA architectural method.
The Roofing Store installs CertainTeed and Alside siding. Both offer multiple styles and configurations, so we can recommend siding based on your building's appearance and performance needs rather than defaulting to the same product every time.
Give Your Building a Better Exterior
If your building's siding is worn, hard to maintain, or just doesn't represent your business the way it used to, we'd be happy to help you figure out the next step.Â
We'll inspect the exterior, flag any warning signs, and go over CertainTeed and Alside options based on what counts most for your property. Contact The Roofing Store today to request a free estimate for commercial vinyl siding installation, replacement, or repair.
