aluminum siding must be going up in price, and around here people
steal it to sell to the scrap metal yards.

side with vinyl siding and while your at it add a nice layer of foam
insulation. and cut your utility bills.

In pittsburgh vinyl siding lats near forever.

Most notably a brick home near where I grew up got sided with vinyl
when I was a kid.

I am 54 so the siding is over 40 years old and still looks good today,
although it needs a bath.

The homeowner of the time felt bad covering the brick but it was soft
brick and detoriating badly.

hhe reported cutting his gas bill by half at the time, and cut his
property tax bill too.
