Here is my personal opinion, I like the vinyl siding for its color fastness and longevity, but it does not look that great specially the trim. So when we rebuilt our house (Hudson Valley, NY) 15 years ago I specified red vinyl siding with white wood trim and corner board. I still looks great and no weather related problems, but we have had to re paint the wood trim once (3-4 years ago).

Pros and Cons of Vinyl Siding?

THERE ARE ALWAYS OPTIONS WITH SIDINGChoosing what kind of siding to use can make anyone cringe.There are many different types of siding to choose from, but the main material that people use is wood, vinyl, and aluminum. The kind of siding you'll want depends wholly on what you're going for. There are many pros and cons to each type, but vinyl is the most prominent and popular. Price, weathering, or wear and tear, and appearance are all things to think about when looking at vinyl siding. Pricing for Vinyl Siding Can Vary, But That's a Good ThingWhile vinyl siding is not necessarily the cheapest siding option out there, it is a great choice. To put vinyl siding on the outside of an entire house, it will only cost around $8,000, depending on the size of the house. However, when vinyl siding is put in, there are nails that are left out to allow for the vinyl to expand. Seamless vinyl siding can also save you money because it needs relatively little maintenance - a cleaning now and then will suffice.How Does Vinyl Handle During Normal Weather?Seamless vinyl is a great option just about anywhere when it comes to weather because it can withstand humidity, rain, and wind. Unlike wood, it does not absorb water. It also doesn't dent or peel. Flaking and coroding doesn't happen with seamless vinyl siding either. However, depending on what color you get, the vinyl siding can show weather wearing from rain spots. Washing will be necessary in this case.Appearance Can Make or Break a DecisionSome people may not like the appearance of the vinyl siding, while others love it. There are many colors to choose from, and the vinyl is compound, so seamless vinyl siding will never need painting. There are certain colors to choose from, and the colors can't be mixed, which is something that some people think is a negative aspect. Some people may prefer one shade darker or two shades lighter, which is not an option. Overall, however, vinyl siding is a great option for someone who prefers to not deal with upkeep.
