Existing metal siding. Vinyl the addition?

Question

Flipping a property in the lower 200k price range. The existing structure has yellow aluminum siding. I will be adding a 12x24 addition.

Should I install metal siding or vinyl? I hear the aluminum is a bit hard to find and deal with

Any input would be appreciated

We just remodeled a manufactured home and replaced the vinyl with Hardiplank siding. We are just painting the exterior now that rain has stopped and it's warmed up. We remodeled inside and out. It sold in 1 day for 223,000.

Hello Shaka,

I use to work with aluminum & vinyl siding back in the 90s for 3 years. You gotta check on youtube videos nowadays a lot of new products on the market. They have Hardie board cement panels is one option. Might be more expensive than vinyl or aluminum.  Another option if you want something cheap is T 111 exterior wood panel boards all you do is prime & paint.  My gut is telling me vinyl is much cheaper than aluminum siding at 50 to 60 cents a pound. Also aluminum is harder to work which means higher labor cost & if you ding or dent it my accident it doesn't bounce back in to shape like vinyl.  Well Shaka hope this information helps.
