Vinyl siding has basically destroyed this house after 20-30 years.

This is a building on Stone road in Pittsford, NY. Here you see a complete destruction of a home. The problem is that the siding has trapped moisture behind the vinyl. You can see how the wood in the wall has become completely rotten. A wood siding with organic linseed oil paint would have saved this house.

Solution: Remove all vinyl siding and rotten boards. Choose a wood siding as replacement. Avoid products like cement siding or similar products.
