Metal Siding Contractors in Phoenix, AZ

Phoenix Metal Siding

The advantages of metal siding in Phoenix, AZ are not difficult to grasp. No other siding material on the market can match the level of fire and pest-resistance, with the right design, water, and impact-resistance inherent to metal siding. Many Phoenix homeowners don't immediately gravitate toward metal when it comes to their siding, especially with the popularity of newer siding materials, but metal siding has made remarkable progress over the years, and remains a viable choice for homeowners.

Steel Siding vs. Aluminum Siding
Traditionally, if you wanted metal siding for your home, you wanted aluminum siding. Even in a dry climate like Phoenix, steel siding was sure to rust in a few years, creating costly repairs and substandard life expectancy. Rustproof and still very strong, aluminum siding was once one of the most popular forms of siding. The advancements in technology, particularly in lines of vinyl and fiber-cement siding, have made many of the benefits of aluminum siding obsolete.

Metal siding, however, is far from extinct. Steel siding has been resurrected and taken up the call for homeowners who want unparalleled strength. In fact, where aluminum siding can be dented by hail storms, very few things endanger the structural integrity of steel. Steel's old enemy of rust is also a thing of the past with baked-on coatings, especially baked-on vinyl coatings, that make steel nearly as rust-proof as aluminum.

Cost of Metal Siding
Though no siding installation can be reasonably estimated without knowing the details of your home, your siding needs, and your budget, the cost of metal siding is particularly nebulous. The various choices including the metal, thickness, coatings, and overall design can make metal siding one of the more expensive or one of the less expensive siding materials. Overall, our data shows that metal siding installations are among the less expensive options, but by opting up for more high-end metal siding, you can make this siding installation the last one you'll ever need.

Take, for example, the latest innovation of steel siding: seamless steel siding. Regardless of your chosen siding material, the weakest point of any cladding tends to be the seams and joints between the panels, shingles, or boards of the siding. Seamless steel siding eliminates these weak points by fabricating a custom-made cladding that fits your home like a glove.

Metal Siding Installation
Siding installation is not a DIY project. That said, some choices make professional installation easier, and thus cheaper, than others. Seamless steel installation is, expectedly, an involved and labor-intensive project. Other, more traditional, forms of metal siding can be fairly straightforward. Either way, installing any type of siding is not a single-day project even for the professionals. Expect your project to take a week, perhaps two, once again depending on your siding choices and the size of your home.
