There are various options when it comes to siding styles such as aluminum siding, cement fiber siding, wood siding, and vinyl siding.

Aluminum siding became the popular alternative choice to wood siding when wood proved to be high maintenance. Of all the sidings, wood needs the most maintenance since it requires to be repainted roughly every two years, and it could require special finishes to repel mold or algae. Aluminum siding, on the other hand, is praised for being very low maintenance. Still, it also has its drawbacks when compared to other siding such as cement fiber siding.

• It can be very noise.

• It is fragile since it dents easily.

• Homeowners can’t have detailed trim work on their house when they choose aluminum.

Cement fiber siding is available in a variety of colors and the paint won’t fade or peel.
