Siding!

Well to try and make a long story short, our siding on our house is failing. We have lived here for a little over 3 years and when we bought the house the inspector stated that the siding was not in too bad of shape and that it definitely was not LP. There was some bad boards around the bottom of the house so we just had those replaced with hardi (which looks just like the siding we currently have). Anyway, 3 years later and the siding is starting to really go bad and in some places I can put my finger right through it. We have had a few siding contractors come out and take a look at it and they all said basically the same thing "you need all new siding". It really sucks because the house is only about 10 years old and siding should last for at least 20 years. Anyway, one of the contractors stated that if it is not LP and some other brand of siding that they might still be under a class action lawsuit and that there might be some money out there to get. So I did some research and sure enough the kind of siding that we have (I had to guess somewhat because we had no idea and there was no info from the original owners on who built the house or what kind of siding they used). I filled out a claim and sent it in a few weeks ago and I just called them today and sure enough, they got my claim, it is the kind of siding I thought it was and they will be sending a rep. out in the next few months to take a look. Now we just need to see how much $$ we can get because siding for 3600 sq ft is not cheap!
