What type of siding do you have? There are several different options to choose from, so it is important to make an informed decision that will fit your budget while giving you a durable and attractive home.

One of your options is aluminum siding. Aluminium siding does have both pros and cons. Unfortunately, the cons are pretty serious. Aluminum dents easily, so if you have active children outside, or if you do a lot of work near the siding with heavy tools, it only takes a slip at the wrong place to deform a panel. On top of this, it is somewhat complicated to replace a single panel of aluminum. You can invest in thicker siding, which will not dent as easily, but costs more.

On the other hand, aluminum siding doesn’t get damaged by bugs, rot, extreme temperatures or other things that can damage other materials. It will also last a very long time if well maintained.
