Which siding material makes sense in Ohio?
| Material | Strengths | Trade-offs |
|---|---|---|
| Vinyl | Lowest cost, no repainting, wide colour range | Can crack in deep cold impact; colour fades over decades |
| Insulated vinyl | Adds R-value, more rigid, quieter | Higher cost than standard vinyl |
| Fiber cement | Very durable, holds paint, impact resistant | Heavier, higher labour cost, repainting eventually |
| Engineered wood | Real wood look, lighter than fiber cement | Needs correct clearance and maintenance at cut edges |

Why does house wrap matter so much?
Siding is not waterproof and was never meant to be. It sheds the bulk of the water; the wrap behind it is the actual drainage plane that handles what gets past. Wind-driven rain gets behind vinyl on every storm.
Wrap that is not lapped shingle-fashion, or is not tied into window flashing, funnels that water into the wall instead of out of it. It is invisible once the siding is on, which is exactly why it is the first thing skipped on a cheap quote.
