Vinyl siding is a flexible, plastic material shaped to look like painted wood siding. Almost every home that isn't brick, stone or stucco has vinyl or aluminum siding. You rarely see anyone install aluminum siding any more because vinyl keeps its looks longer and needs virtually no maintenance.Unless you prefer (or can afford) brick or stone, your builder is probably suggesting the right choice.If you go into any home improvement store, such as Menards or Lowes, you can ask to be shown vinyl siding and they will be glad to show you and answer your questions. If you're unable to do that, you can go to their websites: menards.com or Lowes.com, and look up 'vinyl siding'. I bet you'll love your home's new look!

Those who are building or remodeling their home are often surprised to find the high price of siding.

While it can be labor intensive to remove the vinyl siding, it is possible to do with little or no experience, and it can knock of anywhere from one to two thousand dollars off the total bid of the siding job.
