New roof and siding ?'s

[DRH1175]

I am going to have my siding and roof replaced. For the siding what is the norm for quaility. We are thinking .046" Amcraft Thunderbay vinyl. The shingles will be owens corning Duration. Do we go with the 30 yr or lifetime shingles? And 15 or 30 lb paper? Thanks

Siding is great, shingles are OK. Most over .044 is better than what your house probably came with. Not quite a Contractor grade of shingle (brand wise). I have family that works for Owens Corning and for GAF. Try not to use either one for our business.

15 or 30lb. is probably just a price markup on you. A good 15 lb. is better than a 30 lb. (Roofer's Select or GAF Shinglemate).
