At Custom Installations, we don’t treat vinyl as an afterthought — we install it with precision and detail. Every seam, transition, and trim piece is carefully integrated for a finished look that holds up season after season.

Damaged vinyl siding

Poor Vinyl Installation = Ripples, Gaps, and Expensive Redos

Vinyl is forgiving in some ways — but unforgiving in others. Sloppy installs lead to wavy panels, buckling in heat, or trapped water behind the walls. We’ve seen it all — and we’re here to do it better.

We Install Vinyl Siding the Right Way With Clean Lines & Lasting Results

Vinyl may be low maintenance, but that doesn’t mean it’s low skill. From getting the nailing flange right to keeping lines level on uneven foundations, we focus on the details that make vinyl siding perform and look its best.

Our crews install vinyl every week — not just when it’s the cheapest option on the bid. That experience shows in every corner and joint.

Why Choose Custom Installations for Your Vinyl Siding Project

With over 50 years in the exterior remodeling business, we know what separates a passable siding job from a great one. Our vinyl siding projects are built to look sharp now — and stay that way for years.

Why Midwest Homeowners Choose Vinyl Siding

Low Maintenance with Long-Term Curb Appeal

Vinyl doesn’t chip, peel, or need painting. Just a quick rinse keeps it looking new — even years after install.

Engineered to Handle Midwest Weather

Modern vinyl siding expands and contracts with temperature shifts — and we install it to accommodate all four seasons.

Budget-Friendly, Without Looking Budget

You don’t need to compromise style for cost. We install vinyl profiles that mimic woodgrain and clapboard for a high-end look at a competitive price.

Fast Installation. Fast Turnaround.

Vinyl is one of the quickest siding systems to install — meaning you get lasting protection without a long project timeline.

“We wanted something clean, affordable, and maintenance-free. Custom Installations nailed it — and made the whole process simple.”

John Robinson & crew was a pleasure to work with: very professional, respectful & competent. They kept me informed of their work schedule at all times & even went the extra mile to address a vent issue that I did not know I had. I would highly recommend using Custom Installations for their quality of work & making the customer feel at ease answering every question. Very satisfied.

Denali

Had Custom installations redo the entire exterior,(hardie board) roof, and gutters of our home and the results were great! Very professional and organized. Whenever I had a concern or question, my point of contact and project lead, John was an invaluable resource and took care of any issues or questions immediately. I was very impressed with his knowledge and ability to communicate my concerns and wants to whatever crew was working for the entirety of the project. Would definitely recommend and use custom installations on future projects.

Ryan Chitwood

I was in need of a metal crew that could do very high end copper work and was recommended this company by a major national player that owns a company in Denver, Co. The people at Custom Installations were amazing from start to finish, literally. They traveled here during the week for work and were so careful and respectful. Their copper/metal work is as good as I have ever seen. They just completed the most beautiful roof we have ever done for a homeowner. Their communication was fluid and consistent and we had zero issues. For a job with a ticket that size, we needed this to be a smooth process and Custom Installations Inc knocked it out of the park for us. Thank you guys!

I would definitely recommend them for your roofing job.

Will Lynn

Our old siding and part of our garage where damaged due to a storm which resulted in our house needing to be completely re-sided and part of the garage roof replaced. We chose Custom Installation not only for the quality of their work but their skilled teams knowledge of insurance claims. Bruce truly made this entire process as smooth as possible. We could lot be happier with how our house turned out.

Jacob Rosenfeld

We just hired Custom Installations to re-side & re-roof my home. We chose James Hardie, Board & Baton siding. The Custom Installations team was awesome, from my sales contact, Brad Hironimus, to the installers. Despite the house being originally constructed in the 1960's, it now looks brand new and I expect will further stand the test of time. The foreman assigned to our job, John Robinson, was exceptional. He was extremely responsive and always arrived on site with a great attitude. Whenever I had questions or concerns, he was easy to reach and successfully drove the team into delivering a fantastic result. I would definitely refer the Custom Installations team to anyone looking to improve their home.

We recently had a new asphalt roof installed on our residence here in Wisconsin. Mr. Pohlman and his crew were professional, timely, and exacting in the quality of their work. The project started and ended on time with no issues. Our property was left in the same condition as when they started. Mr. Pohlman was always available by email and personal cell phone for any questions, and personally on site. Overall, an excellent experience all the way around. Very rare these days.
