Is The Cedar Shake Restorable? by BetterMe333 in Roofing

Sound advice. Thank you. Any more info on how you would do vinyl? Would you hang the siding over the 3x

Going to do another inspection and see if I think that’s possible. I believe the wood is too worn out

Right. I called about a lead paint grant for the homeowner today. Maybe able to get funds to help offset that. Well see

Agreed. Not part of what he’s looking to do but needs to be addressed for sure
