In
choosing an exterior siding product, how does
vinyl siding compare with other products?
Vinyl
is a durable choice that offers a variety of styles
and colors. If produced by quality manufacturer,
it will provide up to a lifetime of maintenance
free service.top
Is
there a difference in vinyl products?
Due to the fact that vinyl is a chemical composition,
there is a definite difference between manufactured
products. Quality vinyl contains a high level
of impact modifiers and special weathering chemicals
such as titanium dioxide and geloy to guard against
the elements. This is the case regardless of the
product, siding or windows.top
Considering
the exterior choices available, are there other
materials better than vinyl?
Alternative materials such as brick, stucco imitations
and wood may provide the particular architectural
style you are seeking. However, none will outlast
quality vinyl siding.top
Does vinyl siding add resale
value to a home?
With the addition of vinyl siding, your home will
retain it's original, like new look throughout
its life. This, along with providing a maintenance
free solution to potential buyers, will ensure
the highest resale value possible.top
You describe Lansing Building Products
as Independent Building Products Distributor.
Can you define what that means?
An Independent Building Products Distributor such
as LBP is not owned by a manufacturer. As a result,
we are able to select the best products and services
for your needs. It is commonly understood that
each market area is unique, commanding a need
to provide a product mix that reflects the specific
product demands for that market. An independent
distributor such as LBP that represents top brands
from multiple manufacturers is positioned with
more choices and alternatives than a single brand,
manufacturer owned warehouse.top
I have heard that a manufacturer
owned warehouse is more competitive than an independent
distributor.
This is not necessarily the case. The independent
that represents volume and market control can
leverage that buying power with the brands that
they represent. As a result, a company such as
Lansing Building Products will buy product at an
equal or lesser price than a manufacturer owned
warehouse. In reality, the cost of warehousing
is the same for both the independent and the manufacturer
owned facility.top
How can you help me become
more profitable?
LBP has a unique program that will partner with
you to increase your LEADS and provide the best
closing tools available on the market.top

How can I demonstrate the
difference between lower grade products and those
that are offered by Lansing Building Products?
Products represented by Lansing Building Products
such as Alcoa, Wolverine, Heartland, Royal and
the Certainteed Window Collection have all passed
the stringent requirements necessary to be certified
as a LBP product. We have established a special
family of products called Windjammer by Lansing Building Products
that are considered to be among the highest valued
product available on the market.top
How can I compete with low
cost vinyl window products?
A cheap vinyl window has potential devastating
effect to a home and to the buyer. Most of these
products are made with inferior vinyl compositions
mixed from recycled vinyl. The working parts tend
to be of low quality, lasting just a few years
before breaking. Contractors who use these products
tend to also shop for the lowest price labor.
This can lead to water damage, air infiltration
and potential warranty violations.
The best way to compete is to educate yourself
on the important features and benefits of your
product. If you invest the time in demonstrating
these features and benefits, along with your method
of installation, to the potential buyer you will
close more sales at a higher margin.
Lansing Building Products is committed to providing you both
the product training and the closing tools necessary
to negate the effects of a lower priced competitor.top
Training has become a big
issue in my company, how can Lansing Building Products help?
Lansing Building Products takes training seriously,
both internal and external. We train our associates

but also how they apply to your business. We train
