Do not use crossroads home improvement or all sides installers
Thx for the headsup
couldn't cut and paste the info.. click below for image.
Great owner of this company, been around a long time. I'm sure they can do good work for you.
You probably don't need to talk with the owner Rick who is listed. Just give them a ring.

I need to know if the cost to replacere this siding will cost more than $2000.
The seller has agree to lower the price in the inspection objection. And I don't want to accept now, to later find out its a $10,000 job.

I don't see it being a $2000 job but nothing near $10,000.
Where are you located?
Do you want it replaced with the same thing? The issue isn't the siding it's the install. They should have left a gap at the roof line and make sure they properly flashed it. The large end they didn't hang it with an expansion gap
If you just need a number asap call Lowe's and depot
Add 10-20% to that to get someone good
Off the hip I'm thinking 2500-3500 assuming only minor repairs behind the upper area
I also think $2,000 is low, but I couldn't tell you by how much.
I'm not sure, some type of wood hardboard. Kelly recommended it be replaced with Hardey but that's stuff is $$$Quote:

Thanks for the advice. Like I said in the previous post, Hardey would be nice since that side is North facing. Apparently it gets beat up by the elements more.Quote:

hardi board or similar product. (multiple similar items available) nice stuff, but is a bit pricey. Wears great though. 10 years here and not an issue.
In my neighborhood, the North side is prone to buckling due to the make of hardboard and the installation. Fortunately, my home hasn't experienced the problems.Quote:

I believe the install is everything. The guys that did mine, made sure the nails were not set below surface and boards not too tight. I hear popping at times when it's warming up, but haven't seen any buckling. One or two butt ends sometimes need a smidge of caulk fixed up. Paint sticks very well, no flaking/peeling.Quote:

What you showed photos of is an installation issue, and not an issue with the product, or the local conditions.
