Aluminum Siding -
Pros & Cons

Pros:
Aluminum siding comes smooth, or embossed with wood grain. It is relatively maintenance-free, corrosionproof and termiteproof, and it won't rot. Its surface finish is a durable, baked enamel paint.

Cons:
One problem with aluminum siding is that it can be dented, say, by a baseball striking it or a ladder pressing on it.
