Owens Corning PinkWrap
Owens Corning PINKWRAP® is a high-performance, weather-resistant air barrier designed to protect exterior walls from wind-driven rain and air infiltration while still allowing moisture vapor to escape the wall cavity. Engineered for durability, it offers excellent tear resistance, cold-weather flexibility, and extended UV exposure ratings—up to 180 days for Premium and 90 days for Classic. Lightweight and easy to install, its distinctive semi-translucent pink color allows for accurate fastening and clean, efficient installation on the job site.
Grip-Rite ProWrap®-SA
We’ve recently switched to Grip-Rite ProWrap™-SA because it offers several key advantages over Vycor enV-S, making it a superior choice for high-performance wall assemblies—especially in demanding conditions. With a permeability rating exceeding 60 perms, ProWrap™-SA allows significantly more moisture vapor to escape the wall cavity than Vycor enV-S, reducing the risk of trapped moisture and mold. Its 5-layer synthetic construction and high-tack butyl adhesive create a durable, self-sealing air and water barrier that installs easily without primer, even in temperatures as low as 20°F. Compared to Vycor’s lower perm rating, shorter UV window, and more labor-intensive installation, Grip-Rite ProWrap-SA stands out as the better solution for high-humidity climates, cold-weather installs, and projects where breathability, ease of installation, and extended exposure time truly matter.
Low E Housewrap: Energy Efficient, Fire Resistant Siding Insulation
In a space thinner than a pancake, you can dramatically improve a home’s energy efficiency. Using the same reflective technology that protects NASA astronauts from the sun’s searing heat, Low-E Housewrap blocks 97% of radiant heat transfer through the walls!
- Proudly made in the USA
- Unlike the typical highly flammable Fan-Fold or Styrofoam insulation used by most contractors, Low-E Housewrap is fire rated
- Adds R-Value To Wall System
- Increases Energy Savings
- For Use Behind Most Any Exterior Cladding
- Installs Like Any Traditional House Wrap
- Helps meet various IECC building codes
- Blocks 97% Of Radiant Heat & Provides A Thermal Break
- Environmentally safe
Since 2014, DelPrete Home Improvements has proudly used Low-E Housewrap as a superior alternative to traditional fan-fold or Styrofoam-backed vinyl siding. This decision was driven not only by performance, but by safety and environmental responsibility—unlike other insulations, Low-E is not highly flammable and is far more eco-friendly. Its insulative, reflective barrier wraps the home in year-round energy efficiency, and when paired with a premium moisture barrier like CertainTeed Vycor enV-S, it delivers unmatched protection, comfort, and long-term savings for homeowners.

Met the Team at the Home Improvement Show at Gillette, they did a great job on our addition and main house. We had an unusual roof configuration and the sales team was very good at working with me to come up with an installation that worked. … More See the attached photo, downspout from a small section of roof on the front of the new addition, they were able to bring it down the fascia just like we discussed, that is the mark of a top notch installation contractor, works with the home owner to make the finished job come out perfect.I have been in the Engineering and Construction Industry for nearly 50 years and DelPrete Home Improvement has been one of the few contractors that I have given 5 stars to, they are pleasant to work with, knowledgeable on their craft/trade and the installation crew was professional and friendly on one of the hottest days of this year.I would absolutely consider using DelPrete again in the future.

We had DelPrete replace our 30 y/o Windows, Clapboard and Cedar Shingles. I cant say enough good things about the whole process. Although this past winter pushed back our start date, once the job was started I could not believe how quickly … More and efficiently Estuardo's crew worked. From 7AM to 6:30 PM 6 days a week, they all went about their business and did a thorough clean up at days end. Dave was always available to answer any questions we had during the project. The house came out fantastic. So looking forward to having them back to work on our porch reconstruction late summer/early fall. Thank you again to everyone at DelPrete for the excellent job and just being good people to work with.

Five star experience all round!The communication from the sales and project management teams was first class throughout including the job scope, advanced prep requirements and on-site ETAs.Pre and post job inspections allowed as much time … More as necessary to provide clarity on the existing structural conditions and explain the various aspects of the completed work.The roofing crew arrived on time, were very courteous and presentable, were mindful of the flora, did a great job with the install and clean-up and completed the job in a day as promised.Everything above also applied to Part two of this project which was to replace all of the exterior cedar shingles and wood plank with Hardie fiber cement and trim with a couple of new windows also installed in the garage.Like Derek beforehand Project Managers Jimmy and Dave were exemplary throughout along with Estuardo leading an equally hardworking, courteous, presentable and conscientious crew.Once again this project was completed on time with exceptional communicationthroughout from Jimmy and Dave.There were some minor post-job aesthetics that were identified by both parties (which was very reassuring) but again nothing was too much trouble for them and Estuardo to diligently attend to in a concerted effort to ensure that we, as the homeowners, were left totally happy with the end result.

I recently had my roof replaced by Del Prete Home Improvements (formerly Beantown Home Improvements, Inc), and honestly it was a really smooth experience.The pricing was fair and easy to understand, and the crew was great to work with. … More They showed up on time, worked hard, and got everything done faster than I expected.They kept me updated along the way and were easy to get in touch with if I had any questions. Cleanup was solid too—no mess left behind, which I definitely appreciated.Overall, I’m really happy with how everything turned out. The new roof looks great and I’d definitely recommend them to anyone needing roofing work done.
