Question

I am going to install siding on my house soon.I would like some feedback .I really don't know which siding to choose with so many out there.I'm looking for maintenance free.I live in N.W. Ohio.

Answer 1

Buy from a local source, and keep some extra materials (an extra carton or two should do) for repairs or replacement.  The best warranty is as good as the manufacturer (don't count on the installation contractor) and not worth a much larger expense.  Your warranty is to buy at a fair price, and buy some extra material for reserve.  Shop two or three local sources before you make your decision.  Ask the retailer for some reputable installers.

Remember that in-home sales is synonymous with high price.  (The salespeople don't work for free, they pay their own expenses, and they get a lot of rejection, so they make it up at your house, even with their huge buy-now discount.)
