Defend Your Home. Elevate Your Curb Appeal.
Most homeowners we talk to want the same three things from new siding: something that looks good on the house and doesn't demand constant attention to stay that way. Alside vinyl siding checks all three boxes, which is why it's one of the lines we've continued to install across Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts.
Once siding starts cracking, loosening, or letting moisture in, a fresh exterior isn't just about looks anymore. The Roofing Store installs vinyl siding that addresses those concerns, providing your home with dependable weather protection, a consistent finish, and a low-maintenance exterior that doesn't need repainting every few years.
Siding Choices Beyond Color Alone
Alside offers several residential vinyl siding lines, each built around its own set of priorities. As Alside contractors, we’ll help you sort through those options with your actual home in mind, because the best product for one home isn't automatically the best for another.
Charter Oak®
Charter Oak with Neopor is Alside's insulated siding line, designed for homeowners seeking energy performance, impact resistance, and noise reduction in a single panel. The insulation backing may reduce energy costs by up to 20% compared to hollow-back vinyl.
Odyssey Plus®
If you want a premium panel without insulated siding, Odyssey Plus is worth a close look. It comes in 23 colors, offers up to five times the impact resistance of regular vinyl, and carries a lifetime transferable warranty that follows the home if it sells.
Coventry by Alside®
Coventry replicates the look of cedar grain siding in a vinyl panel that doesn't need to be scraped, stained, or repainted. It's available in 20 colors and two profiles, which gives you total control over how classic or dimensional the exterior feels.
Conquest®
Conquest is the line we recommend when the priority is focused on appearance and value rather than added performance features. It has a cedar-grain texture, comes in 25 colors, and only needs an occasional rinse to stay looking its best.
Williamsport® Colonial Beaded
Homeowners who find standard clapboard too plain often opt for Williamsport Colonial Beaded. The beaded bottom edge adds a shadow line, giving each panel more visual definition, and the wider 6.5-inch face creates a more substantial presence on the wall.
Cypress Creek® Variegated
The variegated finish on Cypress Creek panels creates natural color variation, making it read more like stained or specialty exterior siding. Available in clapboard, dutch lap, and board-and-batten profiles, it can cover main walls and accent features.
Vertical Lines That Break Up the Box
Not every home looks its best with horizontal clapboard from top to bottom. Alside's vertical siding options can transform the exterior's shape and character, particularly on gables, dormers, porches, additions, and accent walls.
Board and batten is the most popular vertical profile because it creates a structured appearance that works on both traditional and more contemporary homes. It can cover the entire exterior or be used in combination with horizontal siding for contrast. Homes that stop people mid-walk usually have something breaking up the horizontal plane, and more often than not, it's a vertical element doing that work.
Made for New England Weather
Few regions test exterior materials the way Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts do. Homes here deal with long winters, humid summers, freeze-thaw cycles, coastal moisture, high winds, and temperature swings that shift dramatically from one season to the next.
Vinyl holds up well in those conditions because it doesn't absorb moisture the way wood does. That removes a lot of the concerns around rot, swelling, and peeling finishes. Instead of getting out the scraper and paintbrush every few years, you're looking at occasional washing to keep the exterior looking sharp. And for older homes, insulated options add another layer of benefit. Many New England homes were built before modern insulation standards, and insulated vinyl like Charter Oak can help close that gap at the exterior.
Vinyl also keeps its color within the panel rather than sitting on top as a painted surface that can chip or peel, which is one of the reasons it stays looking consistent for so much longer than painted wood, with no extra effort from you.
Installation That Looks Past the Surface
A quality product deserves a quality installation, and that process involves considerably more than removing what's there and putting something new in its place.
Here's how we approach every siding project at The Roofing Store:
Evaluate
Before anything goes, we’ll check for loose sheathing, water damage, wall irregularities, and detailing concerns. Even the most durable siding on the market can't compensate for what's going wrong behind it.
Prepare
Once we know what we're working with, we’ll address any issues that need to be resolved before installation begins. This step is what separates a lasting exterior from one that develops problems in a few seasons.
Install
We always apply an architectural specification approach to residential siding projects. Most contractors reserve this approach for commercial work, but we follow it on every residential project because the results speak for themselves.
Review
After installation wraps up, we’ll clean up and walk through the finished work together before the project is closed. We want you to see the result the same way we do before we call it done.
For homeowners updating multiple exterior components at once, we also coordinate siding with roofing, windows, doors, and decks so the home is approached as a single connected system. That kind of coordination saves time and eliminates the headache of managing multiple contractors working together at the same time.
Where Color, Texture, & Scale Finally Click
Siding looks different in person than it does on a screen. A color that feels subtle online can read warmer, brighter, or darker in natural light. Cedar grain texture, variegated finishes, Dutch lap shadow lines, beaded profiles, and board-and-batten panels all feature details that are much easier to evaluate at full scale.
Our Plainfield location includes a 150-foot outdoor product display where you can compare siding options side by side before committing. That's especially helpful when you're deciding between Alside product lines or trying to figure out where a vertical accent fits on your home. A showroom visit also gives you the chance to coordinate siding with roofing, trim, doors, shutters, and gutters, so you're not making those calls separately based on small sample cards.
You can also browse our project gallery ahead of time to see how completed installations look across a range of home styles, siding profiles, and color pairings.

Frequently Asked Questions
Standard vinyl siding is hollow-backed, so it serves as exterior cladding without much impact on the wall's thermal performance. Insulated vinyl has a contoured foam backing that supports the panel and helps reduce heat transfer through the wall.
It depends on the product line. Odyssey Plus comes in 23 colors, Coventry in 20, and Conquest in 25. Alside also offers multiple profile options, including clapboard, Dutch lap, board-and-batten, beaded, and variegated finishes.
Several Alside lines offer manufacturer warranties, including lifetime transferable warranties on select products. Coverage terms vary by product, so we’ll review warranty specifics during the estimate and selection process.
The best fit depends on your home's architecture, current exterior condition, insulation goals, maintenance preferences, and the look you're going for.
