It is lightweight and durable, and in many cases, it can be installed over existing siding, which makes it an excellent choice for retrofitting. Another benefit to vinyl siding is its ease of care. While most other siding products require periodic maintenance, vinyl siding can simply be washed off with a hose when it gets dirty. Vinyl siding options are plentiful, especially when it comes to color and style. If you choose standard planks, however, be mindful that the typical length is 12 feet, so your siding contractor may need to overlap them.
