Aluminum siding & soffits

Aluminum is a good solution for wood soffits and fascias in awful shape. It’ll take less time to bury them behind aluminum trim than to repair, scrape and repaint the old wood. This article will tell you everything you need to know to do it yourself, including how to make an inexpensive soffit-cutting table that works every bit as well as the pricey units the pros use.

Aluminum soffits come in a lot of different colors, but you’ll probably find only brown and white at most home centers and lumberyards. If you’d like a greater selection and usually higher-quality materials, look under “Siding Materials” in the Yellow Pages to find out where the pros shop.
