How Does Vinyl Siding Compare With Other Siding Systems In Massachusetts?

When compared on the basis of initial cost, maintenance costs, appearance, durability and value, vinyl siding is clearly superior.

Wood sidings:    The initial costs of wood sidings can vary. Premium clapboard installations are expensive compared to the lower installation costs for the less durable hardboard. Both of these options need constant, costly maintenance. The maintenance schedule is directly related to their appearance and durability.

Metal sidings:     A moderately expensive option. There is less maintenance involved than with wood. However, this choice can be costly to repair common problems such as dents and scratches.  The appearance of metal siding is less than optimal and decreases with age.

Brick and stone: Very expensive installation costs. This option also requires periodic mortar repairs, usually at high hourly rates. Appearance and durability are typically better than average.

Stucco:    As with the brick and stone option, stucco is costly to apply. This option is also less durable than brick or stone. It tends to develop cracks and bulges over time that need regular and costly repairs. Appearance is usually dependent on the skills of those who apply it.

Vinyl: The superior choice for high value with low maintenance AND                              outstanding beauty.
