If I vinyl side my 120 year old home, can I keep the decorative wood surrounds of my sash windows?

debisbooked asked:


My three story 100 + year old victorian is sided with aluminum. Most of the windows are the original sash windows, about six feet long each with molded wood surrounds. I want to keep the surrounds and paint them but I am told that is not possible with vinyl siding. If this is true, what can I do to replace the ugly aluminum siding?

   vinyl is very flexible and versitale and keeping your surrounds shouldn’t be too much of an issue.
