Aluminum siding
 

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?

Could be a funny or could be real. I had this problem with siding
repair where blue color had faded and the replacement from original box
had deeper color. Took a few years of sun and weather to bring colors
together.

File not opening. Though, I have a feeling it's a photo displaying a
different color or mismatched from the original color.

I was driving through an upscale neighborhood the other day and noticed
a home with siding that had a small patch of a different color. It made
me wonder if either the owner used a shoddy contractor or matching
siding color is a problem for contractors.

Good chance the original color is not available. Maybe he is going to
paint the entire wall?

Why did you not stop and offer to fix it, cheaply of course.

The entire outside of the house should be repainted.

Aluminum siding is okay in trailer parks.... Everywhere else it's just
sooo tacky.

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.

You mean beyond the fact they are going to need to paint it to make it
match?

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.

I'm the odd man out. Every post mentions the siding color not
matching. Me? I was thinking about the guys on ladders. The guy on
the left must trust his ladder as he leans to the left. Looking again
I now see the siding color not matching. Oh well.

Because it's rental property I wonder if it will get painted.

I think it may have a new owner now, but in the past, the house had been
neglected for years.

I only watched them for a few minutes, but they appeared to be working
safely. The ladders were wide-based and had grips.

Homasote, TenTest, and tar paper., or barn tin, or flatterned beer
cans used as shingles, or old licence plates.

If you want to see downscale, here is a photo of my house's back yard...

now you know why the house with the mis-matched siding is not getting a
complaint

But the "correct" way to install or repair siding is with scaffold.

You are probably right, but I'm sure they just wanted to do it fast as
possible, it was probably done on a low bid.


That reminds me of the chimney I had replaced maybe 20 years ago.


I got bids from half a dozen contractors and they were all in the $2k -
$4k range.

It seemed absurd for the size of of the job.

Finally an old timer came out and said he was the best in town "but
expensive" and he told me $1000 .


I tired as hard as I could not to smile. Then looked as shocked as I
could when I said, "That's a lot of money, but I want the best."

Nothing downscale about aluminum siding. President Trump's fleet of
Boeing aircraft have aluminum siding.

I never said it was aluminum. I said siding and it was a different color
in a small area in front.

BTW, many of those homes used siding and brick.
