Question:

Cost of steel siding vs vinyl? Siding damaged from hail.?

3 bedroom rambler with attached garage. A bad hail storm in May damaged my white siding and roof. I am concerned insurance adjustThanks much.er will not give me replacement value for steel siding. Any one know the cost and where to buy in Minnesota.

Answer:

In answer to you vinyl vs. steel siding. The differences are dramatic. Vinyl has the tendency to sag for two reasons; 1. Poor install, 2. Poor quality of the siding. I am a strong advocate of steel siding and seamless steel in particular. I am familiar with steel siding jobs that have been installed over 15-20 years. A high quality steel siding only needs to be rinsed or washed every few years to maintain its original look. Steel may cost more up front but it will pay back in spades for years to come.
I'm not sure of the cost but from experience having bought steel siding instead of vinyl for my home, if you can afford the difference it is well worth your money..I've had it for 25 years and it does hold up much better than vinyl!
they both cost around the same
