Vinyl siding? That stuff is super cheap to repair. Im no siding expert but Ive had my siding bulge out a few times, onetime the wind ripped a piece out. My experience, sometimes it can just be popped back in. One time, the guy had to cut it down a bit bc he said it was too big/wasnt cut right the first time.

im guessing he quoted you assuming his worker would take the siding down, inspect and maybe trim or have to buy and trim a new piece. But when the worker got there, he just popped it back in without checking to see what the actual problem was.

So no youre not the asshole imo, if they quoted you more than $100 and did the cheap fix and not actually repair it. You could have popped it back in yourself in 2 mins assuming it was somewhere accessible. Of course, itd probably pop right back out in a week or month.

Cold weather shrinks vinyl. I should check my siding.
