Friday, January 31st, 2014

Hooray it’s over on Saturday! Say goodbye to the snowiest month in recorded history, over 40 inches in January 2014. Be sides snow, it’s been cold too, 1/3 of the days below zero, not a record, but close. How does the exterior of your house look? Is it time to consider new siding, along with upgrading of the insulation on the walls of your home to save you $$$ in the future and make your home more comfortable.

Rick and Jackie welcome back to A Firm Foundation radio show, Roy Vestal of Style Crest manufacturing, right here in N. W. Ohio in Fremont. Style Crest/ RMC Corporation is one of the largest manufacturers of premium vinyl siding.

To see many of the colors of siding in the Style Crest line look at our website under “Parade of Custom Homes”.
