Our house is brick plus wooden siding. We had the siding covered
with insulation and aluminium siding. There's no reason to remove
the original siding, just think of it as aditional insulation.

I am re-siding my house this year & would like some expert opinions on
whether to use aluminum or vinyl siding.

I have heard that steel siding is better but I do not plan on living in the
house for more than 6 or seven more years.

Our house is 22 years old & has the original wood composite siding on it.
All of the contractors who have looked at it say they would need to remove
the old siding and install the new siding over an insulation type of board.

What are the benefits of both & cost differences.

I live in Wisconsin.

Thanks in advance for your replies!
