I will try and give you some help with the options.

Consider these points when you need to decide on siding repair options.

1. Problem LP,Maisonite, Weyerhauser or t-111 will have to be changed sooner or later usually 15-20 years if it is one of the above products. The pressed wood that was used to build these products will start to delaminate on the edges and this will lead to accelerated rotting and delamination of the boards.

2. Problem siding can lead to moisture mold and rot problems that can dramatically increase the cost of future repairs.If you leave your siding repair or replacement too long your cost to fix it can lead to much more extensive repair work on the sheathing and framing of your home.

3. If you are considering painting your home you may be wasting your money if you paint over LP Weyerhaeuser or Masonite siding. Repainting your home will not fix your siding.It may extend the life a little but the cost to paint a typical home in our area will be about ,000.The cost for siding replacement usually runs about ,000. These are for homes approximately 2500 Sq ft.

If you paint your home all the money you spent on painting will be wasted most home owners can put the painting money towards residing and they will come out much further ahead.

4. If you need to sell your home you must replace your siding before you list your home. Selling a home with these siding products is very difficult and will frustrate both the buyers sellers and the real estate agents on both sides of the deal. We have been involved in many deals where homes just will not sell with these siding products installed on them.

These are the points you need to consider. If you have the money and can afford the cost to replace the siding you should not consider painting your home to extend the life of the siding. If you are planning on selling your home then you should definitely replace your siding.

The only instance where siding replacement is not the best option is if you do not have the money.
