While many consider wood to be the classic gold standard of siding, it comes with a lot of maintenance and a much higher replacement cost. When these factors are taken into consideration, vinyl siding becomes a much more attractive option, especially considering the advances that have been made since vinyl siding was introduced back in the 1950s as a replacement for aluminum siding.
