Vinyl or Aluminum Siding?

Due to a hailstorm last month, we will be replacing all of the siding on a rent house. The house has aluminum siding now. Aluminum siding is certainly less common now and vinyl siding more common. I’d like (I think) to go back with aluminum if I can find a good installer that will come to Forrest City. Anybody have any recommendations as far as aluminum vs vinyl, or for a good installer?

 

I ended up going with vinyl a few years back and have no regrets—easy to clean and hasn’t faded much. What made a big difference for me overall was getting the yard graded properly and adding some Masonry Repair. That kept water from pooling near the slab and siding, which helps a ton with long-term upkeep.
