I have a few pieces of vinyl siding that I want to replace because they are damaged.

I have no spare scraps lying around. I didn't own the house when it was done (4 years ago).

What are my chances of finding the brand / color / pattern?

It would be nice if the siding had the brand / model stamped on the underside of it. I could look, but I doubt it does :(

Has anyone successfully replaced a piece?

Good luck with that. It's going to be really hard to find. Some of the vinyl siding i've installed has the brand and other info on the nailing strip

I removed a few pieces but there is nothing printed anywhere. I looked really well, even on the nail strip, but there is nothing. I took a 5ft piece and a 2ft piece off.

if you have a piece off, bring it to a real lumber yard, not home depot. see if they can match it up.

Lumber yards have larger selections?
Ok, thanks!

Different companies will have different brands. I don't know if you have them in your area, but i've bought some from ABC Supply
