Paint Again Or Siding?

[Arnie Guida]

I apologize if this is the wrong forum for this.

It's time to paint my personal home again. Given the estimates I've received, and the frequency of repainting required, I'm tempted to have the wood siding removed and have the house sided with vinyl. Most of the houses in my neighborhood are vinyl sided. In my opinion, the wood looks better, much better, but the maintenance costs...

You see a bit of stone work on the front, but the sides and the back are all siding.

Obviously, the answer depends on...

!. How long am I staying?

2. Resale...What do/don't buyers want?

Opinions?

Thank you,

Arnie
