Frequently Asked Questions
Answers To Our Most Common Inquiries
What are all of the products/services that Engstrom’s provides?
What sets seamless steel siding apart from other types of siding?
There are multiple advantages when it comes to choosing ABC Seamless® Steel Siding. Every panel is custom-made to the length of your home - there truly are no seams. Seamless steel siding has a superior lifespan compared to alternatives. It does not expand or contract like vinyl or aluminum. It will not rot like wood. It has a 35-year fade protection guarantee on the finish*. In addition, ABC Seamless offers a Class 4 Impact rating and is Class-A Fire rated, which are both the highest ratings available.
*as a result of normal weathering.
What level of protection does the ABC Seamless Steel Siding & Roofing offer from disaster?
ABC Seamless offers a Class 4 Impact rating and is Class-A Fire rated (both are the highest ratings available). The roofing has been tested to resist wind speeds up to 160 mph.
Available at participating ABC franchises.
How does your ABC Steel Siding & Roofing hold up against hail?
Our 28-gauge steel siding and roofing are both considered Class 4 Impact rated (the highest impact rating available), meaning our steel can withstand a 2-inch steel ball being dropped from 20 feet twice in the same spot without damaging the back side of the shingle or the plywood decking under it.
Available at participating ABC franchises.
How big are your gutters and downspouts?
Our seamless steel gutters are an oversized 5-inch fascia-style gutter which takes in 33% more drainage than ordinary alternatives. The steel downspouts are 3 in. x 4 in.
What is the difference between Andersen and Renewal by Andersen Windows?
Renewal by Andersen is the replacement division of Andersen’s Corporation, offering a window made completely out of Fibrex®. Fibrex is designed and manufactured to fit window openings in existing homes.
What is Fibrex® and how is it used?
Fibrex® is a composite material made up of 40% reclaimed wood fiber and 60% reclaimed chlorinated poly-vinyl chloride (CPVC). This gives our windows the strength, durability and insulating value of wood with the low-maintenance features of vinyl meaning it will never rot, all while greatly limiting thermal transmittance that can be found in other window materials such as metal. Unlike many other window materials, Fibrex® composite materials won’t flake, rust, blister, peel, crack, pit or corrode. Fibrex® is two times stronger than vinyl and resists warping and bowing.
Does Engstrom’s install the windows and doors or will we need to contract that out to another company?
We at Engstrom’s have the undivided responsibility to our clients to handle every aspect of the product from start to finish (from installation to clean up).
Do you offer financing?
Yes! We offer financing - anything from 12 months SAC (same as cash) with zero interest all the way up to 10 years on a fixed rate term loan.
How long are your quotes good for?
We can guarantee pricing for up to 60 days.
Do you use subcontractors?
Our siding, gutter and window crews are in-house. We work closely with a partnering subcontractor for roofing installations; however, you will still work with Engstrom’s directly throughout the entire roofing process.
