Replace siding for a flip: Yes or No?

[Tuan L.]

Hellop BP community,

I am in a contract for a 2 story houses in Chicago. As part of the scope of work, I am trying to decide whether to replace the vinyl siding for the property or not. The siding is still in a good shape and properly just need power wash and touch up.  The color of the siding is the typical white color. However, 2 comps around the house has new siding after rehab and they have trendier colors. Not replacing siding will save me $3k. I have the budget for replacing siding. What would you do in this case? Thank you for the feedback.

No need to replace. If its in good shape, just power wash and get it cleaned up. If you want it a different color, then you can always paint vinyl. 

Sherwin Williams paint is the best for exterior & they sell a paint that will work in 35 degrees and above.

Congrats on your first flip!
