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? https://www.dropbox.com/s/g3gzat27eq...iding.jpg?dl=0 |

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. |

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. |

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! |

My original dark blue siding is now light blue siding. I think it looks better. |

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) |

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

President Trump's fleet of Boeing aircraft have aluminum siding. |

BTW, many of those homes used siding and brick. |
