When the local vinyl siding company stuck a flyer in our mailbox, we were unsure if we could afford to have vinyl siding installed or not. I had always wanted to do it, just because I knew it would improve the look of the house and I figured that since they usually insulate under the vinyl siding before installing it, it may also help with our energy costs.

I figured that by giving the vinyl siding company a call to give us and estimate, it would not hurt anything. If we could not afford it, then that was fine but at least we would know. The price that they quoted us was quite reasonable but my husband thought that we should get one other estimate to compare it to.

I looked up MN remodelers online to find another company to come out, and when I typed MN remodelers in, the vinyl siding company was the first one on the list. I chose to call the second MN remodeler on the list and they came and gave me the estimate later that day, it was very close to the one that we had gotten first but it was a little lower. We decided to go with the lower bid to have our vinyl siding installed.
