Vinyl or steel siding?

Steel or vinyl siding?
I live in the Black Hills and I need to re-side my cottage. I like the look of vinyl. I’ve heard pros and cons about both steel and vinyl. Is steel really that easy to dent? It just doesn’t look as ‘clean’ as vinyl.
Also what 3 color combos do you like? My cottage has shutters.

How much will vinyl siding increase the value of my home?

Saturday, August 18th, 2007
investor8406 asked:


I’m thinking about replacing the aluminum siding on my house (which was built in 1954) with new vinyl siding. The house is roughly 1,100 sq ft and appraised for $60,000 about a year ago. I just got an estimate yesterday for doing this work, and it came to about $14,000. In order to be worth it, the siding would have to increase the value of my home by almost 25%. Does anyone know, about how much value increase I can expect? Is 25% really feasible? Thanks in advance.

I’m trying to decide whether to stain or paint the cedar siding on my house. Thoughts?

Friday, August 10th, 2007
Philo asked:


My painter recommends an oil-latex emulsion solid stain, but I’ve heard great things about Behr’s new Premium Plus Ultra exterior paint, with a lifetime warranty. Any help or directions to good help would be appreciated.
Thanks for your help. There are several paints that are self-priming, which would take out some of the labor. Does this change the analysis?

Should vinyl siding be overlayed on old siding?

Monday, August 6th, 2007
milju asked:


I got a price range of 8k to lay new vinyl on old siding. The contractor said that won’t be a problem, but I believe it is. Shouldn’t it be better to take off the old siding and install a barrier? I think the guy just wants to do a quick install.

Anybody with this type of experience? Problems or issues? All responses are appreciated

Vinyl siding???

Saturday, August 4th, 2007
Wendy C asked:


Does anyone know about Crane vinyl siding? My question is the contractor told me the siding has built in insulation and fanfold, so does that mean I do not need more insulation and another layer of fanfold, to prevent buckling? Thanks!
