Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
Contractor's Choice is a solid value tier for whole-house resides and rentals where budget matters but wind performance still counts. The .040 in. gauge handles typical handling and jobsite wear well. Order trim, starter and corners in matching Variform colors at the same time to avoid dye-lot differences, and add 10% waste on simple layouts, more on hip roofs with many openings.
Follow the manufacturer's nailing and hanging instructions and local building codes; use ladder and fall protection when working at height.
