You know your market best, and you understand what works in Michigan might not hold up in Virginia. That’s why we’re here to support you with regionally tailored exterior products, helping you deliver the right solutions for your customers. In this article, we’re putting the spotlight on four excellent exterior products: GreenGuard®, SturdiMount®, HB&G®, and AZEK® Siding. Whether you’re working through the Southeast heat or the changing seasons of the Midwest, these brands are built to handle the conditions.

GreenGuard® | Southeastern Defense Against Heat and Moisture

The Southeast brings its own set of challenges when it comes to protecting a home. You combat high humidity, heavy rains, and plenty of sun. GreenGuard® helps tackle those conditions with house wrap products designed to block moisture while still letting vapor escape. That means better air quality, longer-lasting builds, and fewer headaches down the road.

For replacement siding jobs, Q250 and FQ250 fanfold underlayments are a great option. They help create a level surface over old siding, add insulation, and offer another layer of weather protection. Both are lightweight, easy to work with, and come in a 4′ x 48′ fanfold format that saves time on the job. We offer a full lineup of XPS foam products from GreenGuard from 1/2″ to 2″ in 4’x8′ sheets.

SturdiMount® |  Clean, Finished Looks That Last in the Southeast Climate

Another Southeast standout, SturdiMount® blocks, are a smart way to get a clean, finished look around exterior features like light fixtures, vents, and faucets. Made from durable cellular PVC, they hold up well in high humidity and won’t absorb water or warp over time; making them a reliable choice for tough climates and a polished look. It is a great complementary product when ordering Nichiha or any fiber cement or hardboard siding you might choose.

To avoid the hassle of field fabrication or piecing together trim on-site, SturdiMount® offers a consistent, polished result. This is both a time-saver and a premium upgrade which is especially important when aesthetics and weather resistance matter. View our stock offering.

HB&G® |  Tradition Meets Performance in the Midwest

In the Midwest, where architectural details still matter and durability is non-negotiable, HB&G® columns and porch products continue to stand out. Whether it’s a historic restoration or new construction with character, HB&G® delivers the classic look homeowners want with the modern materials contractors need.

With weather-resistant fiberglass and PermaCast® technology, these columns are designed to withstand the Midwest’s freeze-thaw cycles, wind, and rain without rotting or splitting. As a dealer, that means fewer returns, happier customers, and the ability to offer a product that combines beauty with brawn. View your column options here.

New from AZEK® | Lap Siding and Alpine Collection

AZEK® Siding offers the timeless look of wood without the upkeep — a great fit for the Midwest where durability matters. Made from a proprietary engineered polymer, it resists moisture, rot, pests, and harsh weather. The Alpine Collection adds stained wood looks to ceilings, soffits, and accent walls with zero refinishing.
