Does anyone have a siding company they would recommend? We'd like to get the old vinyl stuff, and put on something that looks more like the original cedar (e.g. HardiPlank).

Sears does siding (you can get good rates if you use your sears card, and discounts too) Empire does siding as well

Whoever you choose make sure you run their name through the Better Business Bureau website to see if there are any issues outstanding with the company. Also make sure they are licensed either in the state and or the city where the home is located. While either step does not guarantee a positive experience, it does help to lessen the possibility of being stuck with a dishonest or incompetent contractor.

While I have no experience with either company, I do know that Lowes and Home Depot have independant installers that can do alot of home projects. I assume they would also have someone that does siding.

I agree with Michael, always check the BBB website before you shop for estimates.  You may also consider spending the$50 to join Angies List, as a homeowner that has had my share of bad experiences with contractors, I have found this resource very helpful in making decisions regarding contractors.

The caveat with Home Depot and Lowes is they tend to mark up the bid so they can profit from it as well.

Have you considered just using cedar instead of the hardiplank look-a-like?  Nowadays the cedar siding comes pre-primed on both sides so it holds up a bit better and is easy to paint.  If you have an early 1900's house as is common in your area, I'd suggest at least pricing it out.

We use Hardiplank on most of our townhomes - great product, holds paint well, lasts forever (at least for the 50 years they warranty, I hope).  Don't forget you can recycle that old vinyl siding!

As for a vendor to do the install -- when you're bidding the material, ask at your local lumberyard whom they'd recommend.  They've been selling siding to their contractors and are always ready to refer out someone competent.  And those siding contractors are hungry for work these days with the slowdown in housing starts.
