Wood siding, while more pricey, is a good deal when you consider that siding replacement can be incomplete without patching up the damage to the wooden sections. This is because wooden siding does not insulate the home as well as vinyl siding does, and then some. It improves the appearance of the home and helps the siding to resist strong, weathering all over the year.So you have to watch out for warping and shrinking wood siding, or cracking without any signs of renovation... remedies are some repainting, fiberglass, or vinyl siding repair have to be made.
