Our Story

Our story is one of humble beginnings, inspired by an idea, and driven by a dream. With roots firmly planted in Prince Edward Island, brothers Robbie and Gerard Chisholm set out to solve a problem that literally hit close to home – faded vinyl siding.

Several years of research and development into their inaugural product, VinylBoost, was inspired after a candy-covered hand print was left on the side of Robbie’s home during his son’s birthday party.

Initial attempts to clean the house were proving difficult, so the brothers decided to replace the one piece of siding with some leftover materials tucked away in the basement. It was at this point that they realized how faded the siding had become over its short life. The rest is, as they say, history.
