During a wind storm last week, the house across the street lost some of
it's siding. Because it's rental property I assumed the owner was just
going top neglect it, but I was wrong. Within a few days, the owner
hired a crew and got it all fixed up real nicely. I got a photo of the
crew in action. Does anyone notice a slight problem?

To anyone who could not access the file, the original siding is yellow
and the missing sections were replaced with white.

To the person who says the entire front of the house should be repaired,
I can tell you the front of the house was repaired, it was a lot worse
before!


Since it's a rental property I'm sure the owner is doing this at the
minimum expense possible. This might be all they are doing or maybe they
will paint the front?


I'm not complaining though, until now my house has been the biggest
eyesore on the block!

If new siding were yellow, I think my comment would have held. My
original dark blue siding is now light blue siding. I think it looks
better.
At about 30 years my white siding was getting a bit grey-ish, as the
bare aluminum started peaking though is some areas, and others were
discoloured (up by the eaves). I had a local painter apply a coat of
fresh MooreGlo white and it looks like new. (now over 40 years - the
paint is somewhere around 10-12 yeares old)

My siding is over 40 years old and looks fine. Builder had cinched on
the nails and a couple of pieces blew off (along with his winged roof
shingles) after less than a year but the replacement siding pieces were
darker. You cannot tell today. I did make mistake hitting a couple
spots with pressure washer causing bluer streaks so fading is probably
oxide coating. With my initial problem our county inspectors made the
builder take off all the siding and re-nail it properly. They passed
him on the roof but it pooped out at maybe 15 years. New roof outlasted
its warranty of 25 years and still looks good.

I don't know if vinyl holds up as well as aluminum. I know if something
dings the aluminum you may get a dent but vinyl can easily break.
