BUYING A NEW HOUSE
QUESTION: I am planning to buy a new house. It has vinyl siding. Will it make the house too tight? Will the material underneath it decay because of that tightness, or because moisture is caught under it? Also, how do you find locally built modular homes? Are they worth the reduced cost of one, as opposed to a stick-built house?
ANSWER: The only thing you should be concerned about with the vinyl is whether it’s ugly. (I admit that is a personal prejudice of min.) Admittedly, some vinyl siding is good looking, especially Cedar Impressions, which looks like painted cedar shingles. Like a lot of good things, it is expensive. But the old bugaboos about siding that you mentioned are passé. You could get decay under the siding, but it is unlikely, especially if it is on a new house. As for modular houses, if you have the property and the foundation, go for it. Construction is within local and state codes, and construction in the factory is under strict control, a good thing. The less expensive types are very simple.
