What good aluminum actually is
This page is about aluminum, not siding in general. Product grade matters more than brand name. We use the mid-to-upper tier of any line we install and skip the builder-grade version even when a customer asks for the cheapest.
Where aluminum is the right pick
aluminum is the right call when the house exposure, the budget, and the look line up with what the material does well. When it does not, we tell you at the estimate and point at the alternative that fits better.
Install notes specific to aluminum
Fastener spacing, expansion allowance, and flashing details are material-specific and get skipped on cheap installs. On aluminum we install to the manufacturer's published spec, not the fastest-way spec.
