Google Trends for Vinyl Siding - ©2008 Google

Now make no mistake, Vinyl Siding is still #1 as far as siding materials goes and vinyl siding is still the #1 most requested siding estimate request in the nation.  We believe the graph above (courtesy of Google Trends’s search for vinyl siding) illustrates the general economic downturn since you will see a similar graph for all siding search terms.

But Wait…

What’s this?  In comparing 2009 & 2010 (so far) with the previous years we can see a stabilizing and possibly indicators of a potential comeback.  At any rate the steady decline in searches for Vinyl Siding appear to have leveled off considerably.

Conversely, the Contractors With Integrity Network (CWIN for short) reports that they have only seen increases in vinyl siding estimate requests over the past several years.  However they are the first to admit that this could be due to their steady increase in popularity and search engine rankings – resulting in an offsetting of the universally felt economic downturn.

Maybe… just maybe… things are starting to turn around. We will keep our eyes peeled and let you know when we can say for sure.
