Our 25+ year vinyl siding is on it's last leg. Because of the southern exposure, it is faded and getting brittle. We could get it resided with vinyl , but wondering what is out there in terms of newer products that we could replace the vinyl with and still be reasonably priced.

Thanks

We're left guessing - where on this great big planet do you live ?
I'll guess northern hemisphere seems obvious -
.. somewhere in the US of A ?

Aluminumsiding. Ours is over 40 years old. About 10 years ago we put a
new coat of paint on it and it looks as good as the day it was
installed. A bit more expensive than vinyl, but it has scrap value
when you end up having to remove it -

The newer vinyl is better than the old stuff (one of the only products
other than cars that is) - but it will never stand up like aluminum
(unless you have kids using the aluminum as a backstop)

Some insurance companies in some areas give a substantial discount for fire resistant siding and roofing.

Did you use any special paint when you did you refreshed your aluminum
siding?

My condolences. Back in the day, a job transfer forced me to do five
years there ;-)
