Just curious what everyone thinks - cedar shingles or vinyl siding?  My house is in the need of being resided.  Currently, it is an owner-occupied 2 family but hope to move out in a year or so and keep it as a rental. Pros and cons or each?  I hear vinyl is final, but I do love the look of wood shingles. 

Thanks!

    I would go cedar shingles. If I’d does not bring you more rent it should at least bring your property value up. In my opinion it looks better. Cedar is a great natural siding that is still tough and long lasting. Hands down I choose cedar every time.
