I have a 1950’s ranch with cedar shake siding and old windows. Both the windows and the paint are in really bad shape and are covered in Lead. So I am considering a couple of options for fixing both issues:
Option 1: Repaint the cedar siding, replace the windows w/ vinyl replacements
Option 2: New construction windows w/ new vinly cedar impression shingles
What are your thoughts? Are there some other options. If I end up going with option 2 should I stip off the old shingles or just vinly over them? I know a lot of people go either way, what are the pros and cons.
Thanks
Rene
