Jim Jubb's home at509 NE 60th St. Click on each picture to enlarge them.
A new siding job in the park. Jim Jubb's home is the first home to be covered by plastic siding in our community. Previously this had not be allowed by management. Jim said that the entire job including the garage cost about $7000. The material is warranteed for the life of the home. Jim also said it will withstand winds of 130mph. It never needs painting and only needs to be washed off when dirty. Jim said the siding was put on with galvanized nails. The soffets can be seen in the above view and are now plastic also and the outside trim is anodized aluminum with a plastic covering pre-formed to fit.
He showed me a sample of it and it has a backing of foam which I presume is for insulation.
Still we would recommend that you check with the park manager before signing up with a contractor to do the job as you might conflict with park rules. Just a short time ago our neighbor across the street tried to do the same thing and was shut down by management. One of those folks suffered a heart attack and died shortly after that confrontation and his wife has sold and moved on.
ALWAYS CHECK WITH MANAGEMENT BEFORE STARTING ON A HOME IMPROVEMENT PROJECT.
