The material
What to know about vinyl
Vinyl siding is made of PVC, with the color running through the material, so it never needs paint. It comes in horizontal lap, Dutch lap, vertical board-and-batten and shake-style panels.
It moves. Vinyl grows and shrinks with temperature, which is why each panel is hung on nails left slightly loose in slotted holes. A wall nailed tight looks fine on install day and ripples by the next summer.
Thicker panels and stiffer profiles sit flatter and stand up better to knocks. Colder weather makes vinyl less forgiving to impacts, so a contractor working in a Northeast Ohio winter takes more care cutting and handling it.

Questions
Vinyl siding: common questions
Is vinyl siding a good fit for Parma winters?
Many houses here wear it. Vinyl handles freeze and thaw without rotting, but it gets stiffer in hard cold and can crack if struck. Proper nailing and a thicker panel help.
Can vinyl siding be painted?
It can, with paint made for vinyl and in a color that doesn't absorb too much heat. Many homeowners re-side instead when vinyl is faded and brittle.
