Gilles B asked:


I’m looking to install aluminum siding but hear it’s difficult to keep it level all around the house–start to finish.

How would I do this? Thanks!

      i dont know if the make aluminum sidind anymore if so it would be very expensive. but no ext walls a perfectly level. the trick is to run your starter strip and one run of sidind all around the house 1st on second run make all corners match up (of course put your corners on first) you can then run one wall at a time to the top
