Vinyl siding as old as yours is possibly worn enough to require full replacement, at which point a professional may be able to do it more cost effectively for your budget. The life expectancy of vinyl siding is 20 years to 30 years, so possibly you will start needing replacement. Try pricing general contractors who have good experience and references for replacing vinyl siding, and compare it to the cost of materials if you purchased the siding yourself. The difference would be the savings if you perform the labor yourself.

Can I install ceder siding?
Cedar siding isn't hard to install at all. It is a little like installing roof shingles. It just takes a little more work than using vinyl or aluminum siding. But the difference in looks are worth it.
How to Choose a Vinyl Siding Contractor?
Hiring a contractor to replace your current vinyl siding can cost a significant amount of money but is worth the money if the right contractor is hired. New vinyl siding can add curb appeal to your home as well as increae its overall value. It is often easiest to locate a vinyl siding contractor through word of mouth. If friends or family have had their siding replaced recently, see who they used and if they were happy with the overall process and outcome. You may also want to search on the Internet for vinyl siding contractors in your area. Additionally, you may want to go into your local Home Depot or Lowe’s and ask about reputable contractors (associates aren’t supposed to give out this information, but if you ask at the Pro/Contractor’s service desk, you may get lucky). When going through the process of choosing a vinyl siding contractor, you want to be sure to obtain two to three references and call each one. Your biggest priority should be how satisfied each customer has been with the contractor’s work. When calling, you want to ask each reference about the work they had done, the amount of time the project took from start to finish, the quality of the finished project and the professionalism of the contractor. Additionally, you want to be sure that your contractor is certified, which can be done on the Internet, at the Vinyl Siding Institute’s website; however, keep in mind that if the contractor is not certified, it does not mean he is a bad contractor. It all comes back to checking references. Possibly one of the most important, and most overlooked of choosing a vinyl siding contractor is to make sure that the contractor (and all others working with him or her) is licensed and insured. This protects you and your home in case something goes horribly wrong. If you find that you like a few of the vinyl siding contractors you have interviewed, get written estimates from all of them. Don’t be afraid to let each contractor know that they are in competition for your business. Contractors will bid with each other for the project, making the cost of the overall project lower for you. Most importantly, go with your gut. If a contractor seems to good to be true, he might be and you may want to probe a little more into his work.
