If your utility bills spike every summer and your walls feel warm to the touch in August, your siding is part of the problem. Standard vinyl or fiber cement panels do their job, but they leave a thermal gap at every wall stud. That gap lets heat transfer directly into your living space. Insulated siding closes it.
Turnkey Siding installs insulated siding throughout the New Orleans metro, including Metairie, Kenner, Gretna, and 10 more surrounding communities. Our licensed crew, residential license #890459 and commercial license #3667, handles every phase in-house. No subcontractors. No handoffs. The same team that pulls the permit installs the panels and wraps up the job.
Insulated siding bonds a layer of expanded polystyrene foam directly to the back of the panel. The result is a continuous insulation layer that your standard wall cavity insulation does not provide on its own. In Louisiana’s climate, that matters. Summers here are long and punishing. Walls that absorb less heat early in the day cost less to cool by evening. Insulated siding gives you that edge, along with better impact resistance, a quieter interior, and a more solid feel when you press a panel.
This is not a gimmick. It is a measurable upgrade, and we will explain exactly what you get for the added cost before any work starts.
- Substrate condition. Rot, damaged sheathing, or missing house wrap adds time and materials to the prep phase.
- Architectural complexity. Homes with multiple gable peaks, dormers, bay windows, or detailed trim take longer to cut and fit.
- Panel brand and foam thickness. Entry-level insulated vinyl uses thinner foam and shorter warranty periods. Premium panels with thicker foam, deeper embossed texture, and 20-year warranties cost more per square foot but deliver better thermal performance.
- Story count. Two-story work requires scaffolding or extended ladder setups, which adds labor time.
- Old siding removal. If existing panels need to come off before new work can start, that is an additional line item.
