Siding
As you know there are many varieties of vinyl and steel sidings available on the market today that can be very misleading to the average consumer. Wolverine will not supply any siding that is not of the highest of standards. We have been with the same manufacturer (GENTEK building products, formerly known as ALCAN building products) for in excess of 30 years. Wolverine’s relationship with Gentek has always been of the same regard: stand behind our products one hundred percent and provide the highest quality panel at the most affordable price. Although most all manufacturers produce what we call a builder’s panel, we will not supply these for the state of Alaska – products such as these are not built for our extreme temperature changes. In other words, there are a lot of cheaper products available; however, we will not supply a product that we don’t feel meets the high standards of Alaska’s extreme conditions.
