From the Forum: Stripping Away the Layers of Vinyl Siding and Asphalt Shingles

Homeowners are hoping that underneath the layers of vinyl siding and asphalt shingles covering their home there’s some original wood siding that can be restored. Before they start the project they are looking for advice. Should they be concerned about the possibility of asbestos? If the original siding can’t be restored what siding alternatives should they consider?

Please chime in with your advice.
