Siding and new windows

[manu1959]

Some great advice here for ya, and I'll just add a couple things.

Make sure when comparing quotes that you go through them thoroughly and they are quoting the same work and materials. Watch out for low-ballers that will through "extras" at you, at every turn.

An old farmhouse(or any old home), I would strongly advise you to have them wrap the house in Tyvek(or something similar) before you put on the new siding. It's a little pricey but well worth it, imo, if done correctly.

Good luck!!

no offense but tyvek is crap......my professional opinion.....two layers of 15# building paper shingled in two steps will stop the drafts....weather proof the the substrate and will let the home breath.....
