I am planning on selling my house 2 1/2 stories and 2300 square foot and I am trying to figure out which method will give me the greatest return on investment ROI when I sell it. I have Asbestos siding on my house and have some cracked shingles and some of the shingles are faded. I was thinking to
1) Remove the Asbestos, I think there may be another layer of siding under the asbestos in which case I would have to remove that siding as well, and vinyl side over it.
2) Vinyl Side over the Asbestos using furring strips, but I hear the Asbestos shingles are prone to cracking and I don't want vinyl siding falling off of my house a few years down the road.
3) Just replace the broken shingles and repaint the house myself.
I have never vinyl sided before but have been studying up on it. A house this big seems too much for a one man job for my first time. I have found people off craigslist that would do it for $1000 labor but I am risking a ****ty job. To get a professional to do it would cost $5000 labor. Financially does the added asthetic look of vinyl justify the labor cost, hassle, and risk of siding over asbestos?
