You’ve started multiple Alaska DIY threads this month. Let’s not kid ourselves.

HAHA. This $6k allows those trips.

Vinyl? Sorry Dave. Hard no. mtmuley

So which siding is best? Kids in Kansas are redoing their siding.

Vinyl siding is cost effective and gotten a lot better over the years. In some places still considered cheap. Hardi board siding gives a better look and is tougher. However assuming it is painted you need to keep up with it every dozen years. Just my opinion

In my opinion it’s hard to beat a good boxed steel siding like Edco for durability and low maintenance. I have LP Smartside on my house because I like to look of it.

Make sure they or whoever they hire understand how to install housewrap and flash correctly. I see some terrible installations by siding contractors all the time.

There's a reason there is a large overlap between house painters and alcoholics. It's the worst but I have had good success with Sherwin-Williams when I've had to paint.

OK, but how does the SW taste?
