Siding questions I am in the market for siding and really struggling on deciding what way to go. The house next to mine was remodeled with hardie planks that they painted.. it looks nice. So I got the company’s number and they came back with only a 9k quote for hardie. For vinyl, it will be around 5k. I recently got another quote from a bigger company, and they want 33k for hardie plank siding that is already colored. I also got a quote from a friend of a friend he said he can do hardie for 15k… but I don’t trust him after things I’ve heard. I’ve looked up some research on hardie and it says it needs proper water proofing and installing and all that. So Why is the first guys quote so low? Should I be worried about that? What is really the difference with choosing vinyl or hardie? I like the look of hardie a lot better… but is it really worth the higher price? This isn’t something I can just learn to do myself. I’m a small girl.…
