Great Review For CraneBoard Siding From Sela!

Posted on

Recommend SELA for roofing and siding. They did our roof last year and siding this year. Beautiful and professional. Check out the double 7″ lap SolidCore siding by Crane. If you do not have SELA at least quote your job, you are making a mistake. These are the “go to” people. SolidCore makes your house up to 45% more quiet–it is nearly unbelieveable! The dog doesn’t hear cars pulling up in the driveway anymore. And it does not look like typical vinyl siding–looks more like wood siding.

Add to this design superiority a selection of expressive colors to achieve even more distinction.
