Recommendations for vinyl house siding?

What are brands and models that will look good and last? Want a premium siding that will be trouble free for years. Looking for horizontal siding.

1. Seamless metal siding, costs more, but lasts forever. nt

3. I have ABC seamless steel siding now.

Uncovered sheathing damage and rot when replacing windows. To repair I need to remove siding. Redoing in seamless steel is expensive. ABC uses proprietary dimensions unfortunately.

5. Oh no. Is this common problem with seamless siding?

I have ABC too. My best friend's brother had the company. It is expensive. I didn't know there could be a problem with rotting. 😢 If you have an Aging Service there like, here it is Aging Partners. It is a federal program usually run by the city or county. They would know how to help if anyone would.

6. Thank you.

Combination of window failures and some poor workmanship of siding installation. Siding difficult to remove and reuse without damage. Otherwise I love it, just too spendy now.

7. Just a thought, could you sue ABC? Or had it been too long? Nt

4. Yes, but expensive too.

And I don’t feel comfortable with LP Smartside. Seems both of those need eventual painting. Old house too big and tall for me to paint. I’m elderly, retiring soon, and everything costs so much. 😞
