Anyone swapped out all of their vinyl siding with a higher quality material?

Sometimes, we'll see an all-vinyl sided house and wonder how much it would cost to replace all the siding with something classier looking.

For those who owned an originally 100% vinyl sided house, have you ever swapped out all of the vinyl siding with a different vinyl (better quality, color or texture) or gone all the way and swapped it out for all hardi-plank siding (is that even possible given it's heavier)?

I'd love to hear about your experiences if you've done this. I.e., how much it cost you, what you did exactly, how big your house is, and whether you feel it made much difference with your house's curb appeal.

Bump, because our vinyl siding is 30 years old and we are contemplating replacing it with Hardiplank or something similar within the next year or so.

If you want something a little easire check out upgrading the siding to beaded or clap board vinyl siding. I think you may be able to slide it in rather than tear it all down.

We replaced our forever peeling wood clapboard with hardiplank. We also replaced many windows. We have a williamsburg colonial stytle home with three dormers. The cost of @ $35,000. We are glad we did it.

The price will vary depending on the square footage that has to go up. Call a few reputable companies to ask for an estimate. Then add 10% just in case.
