CertainTeed makes vinyl and polymer siding in many lines, from entry-level lap panels to insulated boards and cedar-look shakes. GVD Renovations & Remodeling installs CertainTeed siding across the Sacramento region, and this page explains which line fits your house, what the warranty really covers, and where CertainTeed is the wrong choice.

CertainTeed is a subsidiary of Saint-Gobain, the French building materials group, and its siding is sold under the CertainTeed name. We found no announced sale or rebrand of the siding business when we reviewed this page. Its 2026 siding collection covers vinyl lap and vertical siding, insulated siding, polymer shakes and shingles, a composite called RISE, Urban Reserve aluminum siding and STONEfaçade stone veneer.
One correction to older marketing: CertainTeed's current siding collection does not include fiber cement, and CedarBoards is an insulated vinyl product, not fiber cement. If you want fiber cement, see our James Hardie siding page instead.
Pick by panel thickness, profile and budget. Thicker panels lie flatter, resist dents and cost more. These are the main lines in CertainTeed's 2026 collection, with thicknesses from the manufacturer's brochure:
| Line | Type | Panel thickness | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Encore | Vinyl lap, woodgrain | .040" | Tight budgets, rentals |
| MainStreet | Vinyl lap, Dutch lap, beaded | .042" | Value with profile choice |
| Restoration Classic | Vinyl lap, woodgrain or smooth | .044" | Painted-wood look, darker colors |
| Monogram | Vinyl lap and Dutch lap | .046" | Flatter walls, wind exposure |
| CERTAplank | Vinyl with foam backer | .046" | Deep 3/4" shadow line |
| CedarBoards | Insulated vinyl | .044" to .052" | Wide-board cedar look, older walls |
| Cedar Impressions, Northwoods | Polymer shakes and shingles | Molded | Gables, Craftsman accents |
These are the two lines most Sacramento homeowners compare. MainStreet gives you clapboard, Dutch lap and beaded profiles at a lower price. Monogram is thicker, has a low-gloss woodgrain finish, and CertainTeed says its RigidForm 210 construction has been tested to wind load pressures up to 210 mph. On a two-story house or a wall with slight waves in the sheathing, Monogram's stiffer panel usually looks better for the extra cost.
Restoration Classic comes in woodgrain and smooth finishes, and the smooth version reads closer to painted wood than most vinyl. It carries CertainTeed's PermaColor fade protection, which matters for the deeper colors many homeowners want for a modern farmhouse or contemporary look.
CedarBoards bonds foam to the back of the panel and gives a deep 1-1/4" projection, so it looks like wide cedar boards and lies flat over imperfect walls. On older homes with little wall insulation it also reduces heat flow at the studs. It sits at the top of CertainTeed's lap pricing. For how insulated vinyl compares across brands, see our vinyl siding page and our CraneBoard siding page.
These polymer shakes and shingles copy sawn and split cedar, including scalloped and other shaped shingles for gables. Most of our customers use them as accents above lap siding rather than on a whole wall, which keeps the cost down. CertainTeed rates some of these products for wind up to 300 mph.
Colors vary by line, so a shade you like in Monogram may not exist in MainStreet. CertainTeed offers solid colors that mimic painted cedar and variegated blends that mimic semi-transparent stain on its shakes and shingles. Several lines carry PermaColor, CertainTeed's lifetime fade protection.
In Sacramento, color is also a heat decision. Darker vinyl absorbs more sun, so on south and west walls we steer you toward lighter shades, and we check the line's installation and warranty terms for dark colors. You can hold the actual samples at our Rocklin showroom, and our free 3D design visualization puts your chosen colors on a model of your own house.
CertainTeed vinyl siding carries a lifetime limited warranty, but the full lifetime term only applies to you as the original owner of a single-family home you live in. We checked the current CertainTeed vinyl and Cedar Impressions warranty documents (effective for siding installed on or after March 1, 2023). The key terms:
Original owner: 100% non-prorated coverage against manufacturing defects for as long as you own the home.
Transfer: the warranty transfers automatically when you sell, but the new owner gets a prorated 50-year warranty counted from the original install date. Coverage is 100% for the first five years, then drops each year to 10% after year 14.
Fade: covers color change beyond four Hunter units. Fade coverage does not transfer to a buyer. On Cedar Impressions it lasts 10 years from installation.
Hail: you claim through homeowners insurance first. CertainTeed then pays the gap between the repair cost and the insurance payment, excluding your deductible and labor.
Not covered: distortion from heat sources, including sunlight reflected from windows, grills and fires, and any damage from installation that does not follow CertainTeed's written instructions.
Condos, HOAs and other non-individual owners get the prorated 50-year terms from day one. Read the full document for your specific line on CertainTeed's siding site before you sign.
Two of those exclusions are our responsibility. Installation errors void coverage, so our crews follow CertainTeed's instructions for nailing and expansion gaps. Reflected glare from low-E windows can warp any vinyl in a Sacramento summer, so we check for glass facing your walls before we quote. On top of the material warranty, GVD gives a 10-year labor warranty on siding.
Not in the way wildfire code means it. CertainTeed lists several vinyl lines, including Monogram, MainStreet, CedarBoards and CERTAplank, with a Class A flame spread rating. That lab rating describes how fast flame travels across the surface. It does not mean the siding meets California's wildland-urban interface (WUI) rules, and vinyl still deforms under wildfire heat.
In a designated Fire Hazard Severity Zone, Chapter 7A of the California Building Code requires noncombustible or ignition-resistant wall coverings, a listed tested assembly, or one layer of 5/8-inch Type X gypsum sheathing behind the siding. We did not find CertainTeed vinyl on the State Fire Marshal's WUI product listing, so in a fire zone CertainTeed means adding the gypsum layer. For foothill and Tahoe lots, noncombustible fiber cement is usually the simpler path.
CertainTeed vinyl falls within the typical Sacramento vinyl range of about $3 to $12 per square foot installed. Encore and MainStreet sit near the lower end. Monogram, Restoration Classic and CERTAplank cost more. CedarBoards and Cedar Impressions shakes are usually the most expensive per square foot. Tear-off, sheathing repair, trim and wall height often move the total more than the line you choose. We give one fixed price in writing after measuring every wall.
