What do you think about re-siding a house? Our siding is steel circa 1979. Problem is previous owners had vines which pretty much covered the chimney and house. At one point we couldn't open the front door. It was gorgeous in the fall, but we have since cut down the vines because it was going down the chimney and eaves. The remnants (sticky parts) remain on the siding and are not easily removed (still there after 4 years). Is it worthwhile to re-side or try and have cleaned and re-paint? I know re-siding is expensive and they say that steel siding is a good thing (against hail). A neighbor re-sided and spent about $27,000. Anyone with any experience/advice? We probably want to sell house within 10 years. Several houses in neighborhood have re-sided recently.
