Have you thought of putting stucco in your home's past? Aluminum siding might be right for you.
The main benefits of installing aluminum siding on your home are:

• 
  Durability


• 
  Insulation


• 
  Low Maintenance

For the most part, aluminum siding needs very little work from homeowners. It may fade or get a chalk like haze, but unlike vinyl siding it can be painted. Spray application works best for this process.
Aluminum siding is very durable though it can be dented. It supplies a layer of insulation for your home and for those concerned about the environment, aluminum siding can be recycled if you ever have it removed. Vinyl siding cannot be recycled and does not breakdown in a landfill.
Aluminum and vinyl siding prices are fairly comparable. The quality of both materials varies, and you should really investigate the materials you are looking at to make sure you are comparing apples to apples. The thickness of aluminum siding can differ as well as the width of the siding pieces. If a quote sounds ridiculously low compared to the others you get, this might be a red flag to tell you that you need to take a closer look.
A reputable company like Alcoa siding, the world's leading producer of primary aluminum, is a great place to start when shopping for product. As for contractors, you need to do some extra research. Call three different contractors for bids and ask for references so you can call and follow-up on their work. You can also ask for an address of a home where the contractor has done similar work so you can see the work yourself.
Whether you are using aluminum siding on all parts of your home or just as accents, don't forget to do your homework.
