I had Leroy, our painter, look at the areas and he agreed several areas needed replacement boards. The issue became one of whether if siding was replaced would we be able to “match” the house color. I suggested Christie get some green paint from Bill Donohue, whose house had just been painted, and paint over some of the “bad” areas to determine if color match would be OK. She did this and was not happy with the way it looked. She wanted whole house painted and this home is not scheduled to be painted for sometime.

I do remember that it had very expensive recommendations. Cherie

The space between the house and garage door floods due to roof line issues, and that area is actually the place where the house sits lowest, with a crawl space vent below the concrete level.  And the paint is peeling in areas plus there is some rot above the garage door.
