Hey everyone! I recently received two quotes from the same company for replacing aluminum siding on my house with either vinyl or Hardie board. The job involves removing about 600 sq ft of old clapboard. The quote I got for installing Hardie board is $15,000, while the vinyl option is priced at $13,000. I understand Hardie tends to be pricier, but the vinyl quote feels like an upsell. What do you all think? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! I'm also looking to get more quotes from other contractors.

For anything like this, I highly recommend getting at least five bids. I personally love the look of Hardie board and think it’s worth the investment, but definitely keep an eye on the warranty to ensure quality—just don’t make any piercings in the material during installation!
Thanks for the tip! I’m leaning towards Hardie too because it fits the style of my home nicely. I have another contractor coming by tomorrow for a quote.
