I have cedar boards on my house now that were installed poorly. I

paint job on this house and also still have to paint it myself twice

I don't see any vinyl that I like and the Hardie composites still need
painting. I see something from Norandex called Everlast siding. It
is a thick vinyl plank with the color all the way through and has a
wood grain texture. It is being installed by a local rep in New
England where I live.

From what I am reading on their site it is clear that this is very new
for New England, but it has been installed elsewhere in the country
for years. I am just not sure how many. On the downside I can't seem
to find any reviews that are impartial, however on the positive side I
can't find any negative information on it when I google things like
scam, fraud, complaints, etc.

This stuff looks like it is exactly what I want but would like some
impartial opinions. Also, I know what kind of questions to ask a
vinyl or composite siding installer, but have no clue what to ask
these guys.

Please post back when you find out prices. I looked at their website,
and it looks very interesting, like a close cousin to plastic deck
boards, but it also looks expensive as hell. I priced getting Hardie put
on this place, and they wanted 1/5 the value of the house. That ain't
gonna happen.
