Aluminum Siding Good or Bad for Your House?

5/18/2016

 
Picture
         When you have aluminum siding on your house how good or how bad that is. Like always there are pros and cons to have that siding on the walls. In West Windsor and Plainsboro  NJ, many houses still do have aluminum siding. That product was the siding of choice back in the seventies. 
​
   So what to do about it, when you have it? Well  that's a tough question to answer,  lets have a look about advantages and disadvantages of the aluminum siding. 

   Aluminum Siding is good for your house:
  • The siding does not rust. You don't have to worry about annoying  rusted holes in the siding. 
  • It is fire resistant. When you get a bit heavy on a Friday night and place your grill too close to the wall of the house, nothing bad is gonna happen, the aluminum  siding is gonna stay unscathed.
  • Aluminum Siding is recyclable. That's like having dollar bills nailed to the walls of your house. When you decide to install vinyl siding, you can scrap the aluminum siding and get some extra cash in to your pocket.
​
 Aluminum siding is bad for your house:

  • Easily gets dented. When kids are playing, they can toss something into the wall of the house and dent the siding. Strong hailstorm can leave a lot of scars on your aluminum siding as well.
  • The siding has to be repainted every five to ten years. Many people are annoyed  to keep that paint brush ready or pay someone to do it.
  • The sound of strong wind or rain can be very loud. We have very unpredictable weather these days in New Jersey, so any time at night you can be disturbed by that unpleasant noise.
  • This siding gone out of style. Many people do not want to have this siding on the walls of their newly purchased house. So if you are considering selling the house it might be a good idea to install vinyl siding.

          In the end it is for you to decide what to do about your aluminum  siding. If it is still in good shape and there are no visible dents, you can leave it on, but if you want to make your house more appealing and energy efficient you should go vinyl or fiber cement siding.
