What are the disadvantages to have a house vinyl sided?

I know the advantage is never have to paint again. Also I've heard it insulates the house rather more. My wife and I are thinking of having our house vinyl sided, but I'd approaching to know the cons. Thanks!


Answers:    As you can see from the previous posts, vinyl siding is one of those materials that some people love and others detest. That's because 1) there's a widespread range contained by the quality of vinyl siding available, and 2) there's a wide-ranging range contained by the quality of installation. The characteristic of installation is especially important contained by re-siding an existing house, and even an excellent product will eventually look bad if installed by a slapdash contractor.

Here's something that should lend a hand you to make up your mind:

Vinyl siding is smoothly damaged by stones flung up by your mower,the north side of your home will show mold surrounded by a year or two but you can always hold it power washed and to be exact an added expense. Have your installer leave you some few pieces for repairers.
