Out of the ten siding companies in Chicago, I found, there were only four that could do next day estimates for me. I told the other six that I was in a hurry and thanked them for their time. I was going to put my house on the market at the end of the month and I knew that installing vinyl siding would help me get that done quicker.

My real estate agent told me that having great curb appeal is a great way to sell a house sooner. I would love to also be able to do vinyl replacement windows too but I do not have that much money. There were only two things on the list from my real estate agent that she thought would help increase the curb appeal of the house and I chose the one that I thought would make the biggest difference.

My parents thought that I should have gone with the vinyl replacement windows idea but I felt confident that I had made the best decision and I was sticking to it. I got all four of the estimates from the siding companies in Chicago and I chose the lowest one. Since I was not going to be living in the home for very long, I was not worried about hiring the best guy, just the quickest and cheapest guy.
