Living With Aluminum Siding

Aluminum siding is common on older homes. It doesn't rot, but it dents easily and the finish turns chalky with age.

Matching damaged aluminum can be hard because few profiles are still made, so repairs often borrow panels from a hidden wall.

Replace damaged panels with salvaged matches.

Cleaning and painting refreshes a chalky finish.

Switch to vinyl, fiber cement or steel.

Re-side the worst walls first.

Repaint if the panels are sound and only the finish is tired. Replace if dents are widespread or matching panels can't be found.

Siding replacement in Charlotte typically runs about $7,070 to $16,784 for a whole house.
