I am thinking about installing vinyl/synthetic siding on my home. Is there anything I should know?

While vinyl/synthetic siding is an alternative to painting your home, you should know that damaged wood siding and its underlying structure, while hidden, could continue to rot from hidden moisture. Also, you may want to be aware that the historic character and significance of your home could be reduced with synthetic siding.
