Asbestos Siding: Paint or Vinyl?
Hi All,
Question about asbestos siding. I just purchased a property in NH with asbestos siding. What's my best bet, painting over it or going over it with vinyl siding. What are the comparisons for cost and how long will each last?

Painting over (encapsulating) the old siding will look a lot better. I have never seen a vinyl siding that doesn't look like...well vinyl siding. But it will last longer. Maybe. I just talked with a Behr Rep and their new Dynasty line of exterior paint is expected to last 20 years, and that's in the desert..
