What is the best brand of vinyl siding?

Ready to find out what the best brand of vinyl siding is? Well that's a tough question, but I can help you with the answer!

The best brand of vinyl siding will partly depend on what you're looking for. It's more so about what's best for you.

To find the best brand of vinyl siding:

Consider whether you are:
  1. Moving soon or plan to stay in your home for a long time (8+ years)
  2. Living in an extreme climate (very hot sun, very cold winters, or full for seasons)
  3. Looking for maximum insulation properties.

If you are planning on moving soon, you probably are more inclined to put decent siding on that isn't too expensive, but will recoup it's cost quick.  A lot of your costs that you can save in this scenario is dependent on labor cost. Try to find someone who is slow on work or isn't a huge company to do your siding. That way you won't be spending extra on warranties or after-sale service, because that really isn't going to matter much if you're planning to sell. Wolverine siding, georgia pacific, and ashland davis siding are all great brands that offer a basic "builder grade" siding that won't cost a fortune but are decent quality.
