I don't do siding but if it's anything like flooring hang on to something when the price comes in. They know that they've got you over a barrel even though it's inventory that they've written off.

I'll never forget paying $135 a bundle for some cheap A Mohawk flooring.

JP, your best bet is gonna be to look at mastic and certainteed, and maybe nail lite have for their blended sidings, and see if you can find one that is close. try to use natural breaks on the house as a divider between the two

Florida May Have Siding?

If you do not find it call Aluminum Service Inc in Tampa Florida and ask for Ron Neider he has been in the business 30 years and they are a Alcoa dealer but several other lines and he can ship to you.

They are a great company to deal with. Good luck.
