What Makes Insulated Vinyl Siding Different From Standard Vinyl
Standard vinyl siding is hollow-backed. The panels attach to your wall, but there's nothing behind them to add thermal mass or rigidity. That’s why one of the most common upgrades is insulated vinyl siding. Homeowners in Macomb County, Michigan, enjoy improved performance from the layer of rigid foam directly bonded to the back of each panel. That foam layer does real work: it reduces heat transfer through the wall, stiffens the panel so it holds its profile through temperature swings, and noticeably reduces outside noise.
For homes built in Macomb County and the northern suburbs through the 1990s, that difference matters. Original siding from that era is aging out, and the wall assemblies behind it weren't built to meet today's energy-efficiency standards. Replacing aging standard vinyl with insulated vinyl siding is one of the more practical upgrades a homeowner can make to improve both the indoor comfort of an older home.
Why Insulated Siding Holds Up in Michigan Winters
Michigan winters put exterior materials through a real range of conditions: hard freezes, freeze-thaw cycles, wind-driven moisture, and temperature swings that can run 40 degrees in a single day. Standard vinyl offers great protection for your home and can handle temperature swings, but it doesn’t provide much insulation.
Insulated siding adds a continuous thermal layer across the wall surface. Unlike cavity insulation inside your walls, the foam-backed panel sits on the exterior and interrupts thermal bridging at the uninsulated stud lines. That means more consistent wall temperatures and less strain on your heating system during the coldest months.
The vinyl siding’s inherent moisture resistance also works better when the panel has a rigid backing. A hollow panel flexes, but a backed panel holds its shape, which keeps seams tighter so water stays out more reliably over time.
Homeowners considering a full thermal upgrade should also consider our energy-efficient windows. They work on the same principle, reducing heat transfer at the building envelope.

Featured Customer Review
Tailor Made installed a whole house North Star windows. The installation was excellent, thoroughly professional iworkmanship. The installers were careful, caught problems with damage on several windows. The damaged window frames were promptly replaced. We are pleased with the windows. Much better insulation than old metal windows. Liked additional foam insulation applied around the frames. Would highly recommend Tailor Made.

Maximize Performance with the WX5 Energy Package
Homeowners who want to achieve the best energy performance from their vinyl siding should consider our WX5 Energy Package. It starts with a polyisocyanurate insulation board that delivers a higher R-value per inch than standard foam-backed panels. A high-tech radiant barrier is integrated into the assembly, working alongside the insulation board to reflect heat rather than just slow it down. The final siding assembly is designed to work as a system rather than a collection of individual materials.
Our Siding Installation Process
We make enjoying new insulated vinyl siding easy for our customers. Here’s how the process works:
Removal: Our crew will begin by carefully removing your existing siding. Once it’s out of the way, we’ll inspect the wall surface beneath for damage, moisture intrusion, or any substrate issues that need to be addressed before new material is applied.
Installation: Insulated vinyl siding requires more careful installation than conventional vinyl. Every panel gets measured and cut to fit your home's specific dimensions, including around windows, doors, corners, and trim lines.
Final Inspection: Once we’re done, we’ll show you our work to ensure your satisfaction. We’ll also go over the easy maintenance routine and provide information about your warranty.

Common Questions About Insulated Vinyl Siding in Michigan
Vinyl doesn't need painting, scraping, or staining. The color runs through the material itself, so there's no surface coat to maintain or renew. Routine cleaning with a garden hose handles most maintenance needs, and the insulated backing doesn't change any of that. It's one of the reasons homeowners with other siding materials decide to make the switch.
Homes built in Macomb County and surrounding communities in the 1990s were typically sided with standard hollow-back vinyl, and most of that material is now 25 to 30 years old. At that age, panels are fading, seams are loosening, and the thermal performance was never strong to begin with. Insulated vinyl siding is a practical fit for these homes because it addresses both the material's age and the performance gap.

I called several other companies, but Tailor Made stood out. They are a local company to me and have a solid history. When they came to install the windows, the guys showed up on time and ready to work. They were clean and very fast! I would absolutely use them again!
Tom D.
Had them install my windows this past summer. Every person that came to my house was professional and friendly. The installers were very efficient and did a fantastic job. The windows look great and function perfectly. They slide smooth and are easy to remove from the inside when cleaning. My house had the original aluminum frame windows from 1969, they replaced them with zero issues for a fair price. I'll definitely be using them again for future projects. Highly recommend!
