I am going to hire a contractor to put vinyl siding on my farm house, replacing the aluminum siding damaged by hail. I've heard quality of vinyl runs across the board. I don't want the cheap stuff they put on slab vinyl box homes. Some questions I have are:
What should I look for in choosing siding?
How much is a square of siding?
What is a fair price for good siding?
I want something that looks good and is high quality.

To learn more about vinyl siding go to vinylsiding.org.

Some good sidings are Wolverine, Crane. etc. Your going to pay for better sidings. How much? I dont know. Depends on your area. Usually a square is about $250-300.00. Things to look for are durability, fading, thickness, warranty by the manufacture.

Quick note..your contractor will recycle the alum. siding he is tearing off which will earn him even more money from your job. If you have the means, have him leave the siding so you can take it and get the recycling money. But dont request this until after he has bid the job. Worse comes to worse you may have to negotiate this part.
