Shaking Up Sales with DaVinci Composite Siding
Today’s roofers have a good chance of making extra money. That’s if they let their gaze drift down the side of the house.
Once homeowners have agreed to a composite shake roof, it’s smart to evaluate their siding. That’s when you’ll find using DaVinci Hand-Split Cedar Siding to complete the aesthetic look of a house creates an entire low-maintenance home exterior.
Creating a Low-Maintenance Home Exterior
In Grand Junction, Colorado, Julio Saenz, with Saenz Roofing, saw the perfect opportunity to enhance a home exterior with composite products. When the Milligan family selected DaVinci Multi-Width Shake roofing, he took the obvious next step.
“To keep the low-maintenance theme and eye-catching appeal of the exterior, we recommended DaVinci Hand-Split Shake Siding,” says Saenz. “The Granite color perfectly complements the stonework on the house.”
With the composite shake roofing and siding, the Milligans have the enhanced curb appeal they want. Plus, worry-free benefits of impact-, fire- and insect-free products on all the outer surfaces of their home. And, as a bonus, the composite products have helped increase property value for their home!
Replicating Real Cedar Shake on Home Exteriors
On the West Coast in Oregon, Apex Home Solutions recently started maximizing its business opportunities. They now install both composite roofing and siding on homes.
“The great thing about using the DaVinci composite siding is that it perfectly replicates real cedar,” says Landon Coggins, co-owner with his wife Melissa, of Apex Home Solutions based in Oregon City, Oregon, a suburb of Portland. “Everyone appreciates the maintenance-free aspects, and the product meets many West Coast codes.
“As incentives, we offer discounts for bulk purchases of composite roofing and siding together or multi-project discounts. We’re a woman-owned and veteran-led company, so you’ll also find we provide discounts for military, first responders and seniors. These resonate with people and help us close more sales. Important things like this have helped us quickly grow our business.”
How Will Your Customers Respond?
Because the DaVinci products are made to resist everything from algae to fading to salt air, composite shakes and slate are ideal for all areas of the country. They’re also Class A fire and Class 4 impact rated. Some insurance companies offer homeowners discounts for using composite products on their homes.
Jeff Bergren is the homeowner who chose DaVinci roofing and siding for his Oregon property with Apex Home Solutions. “The main benefit to this product in my mind is that it is extremely durable and has a long life cycle,” says Bergren.
Your Composite Shake Sales Pitch
The homeowner has written the low-maintenance home exterior sales pitch every roofer can use. “The real cedar shakes that were on the house took a lot of annual maintenance and a lot of costs to keep them in decent shape,” says Bergren. “I think I will be saving a lot of money every year with a LOT less maintenance on both the roof and siding.
“I believe the DaVinci products have measurably improved the value of the home as well as dramatically improve the curb appeal as compared to the old, weathered cedar shakes.”
