Is the gauge of siding .044?
Does it have a double nailing hem?
Does it have a 3/4" butt?
Alside (First on America's Homes, 1947) Charter Oak (.046 gauge) double nailing hem
and 3/4" butt and Alcoa's Quest (.044 gauge) double nailing hem and 3/4" butt are the
best vinyl siding panels available. Weber and Sons exclusively will use only these two
products. They are both warranteed, lifetime, non-prorated material and labor.

Are all above ground outside corners wrapped?
Over 90% of all outside corners that should be wrapped are not! This enables hornets
and wasps a place to live. Unwrapped corners are unsightly! Weber and Sons wrap all
above ground corners.

Is necessary carpentry being done prior to application of siding, soffit, fascia and gutters?
Weber and Sons will build fascia to accept a box gutter. In gereral Oak Forest homes,
wood fascia is "canted" in. New rafter tails must be installed to accept a box gutter.

Does the installer fasten each piece of soffit in four places?
Is each stud being nailed?
Many installers fasten soffits in one place and only arbitrarily nail studs. Weber and Sons
fastens each piece of soffit in FOUR places and nails EVERY stud when siding.

Are all storms being removed and recaulked allowing aluminum trim to cover complete
sill?
When aluminum sill trim is butted to a storm window and caulked, homeowners are
unaware of all the damage that is being done later when caulk goes bad. Weber and Sons
remove every storm window when trimming with aluminum. Sill is covered to inside stool.

Are the gutters the last thing that is installed after the soffit and fascia?
Many contractors install the gutter first and simply "slip" the aluminum fascia underneath.
Soffit, fascia and gutters are a system ans should be treated as such. Fascia should be
installed to cover all but 3/4" of wood fascia. Gutter hangers should be nailed through
the aluminum fascia to insure that wind would never remove a piece of aluminum fascia.
Weber and Sons follow soffit, fascia, gutter systems from ground level up to flashing.

Are the installers employees or subcontrators?
Weber and Sons siding installers are all employees. They know what they are going to
get paid in a day and are concerned primarily in doing the work as best they can.
They are not paid so much per foot as subcontractors are. Subcontractors are normally
in a big hurry to go to the next job.
