Hey everyone! I just moved into a new house that has aluminum siding, and I'm wondering how to improve its look. Should I consider replacing it, or can I just clean it up and repaint? Any guidance on the best steps to take would be awesome! I've attached some pics for reference: https://imgur.com/a/Vt66VO7

I've got aluminum siding too, and honestly, you might want to just caulk any gaps instead of replacing it. Replacing pieces can be ridiculously expensive! Aluminum is super durable and lasts a long time, plus it’s pretty low maintenance. Just a heads up, it can get kinda hot in the summer and make some noise when the temperature changes—like creaking sounds or pops.
First off, give the siding a good clean to see how it looks after that. Once it's clean, prime it and apply two coats of exterior paint. This should help refresh its appearance significantly!
