Why This Matters
The biggest waste of money in siding is repairing something that should have been replaced. Patch jobs on 25-year-old siding just delay the inevitable and add cost. On the other hand, tearing off siding that only needs a few panels replaced is equally wasteful. This quiz helps you figure out which category you fall into so you do not spend money on the wrong solution.
