Which one of the following statements about aluminum siding is true?
  1. Aluminum siding only lasts for 10 years.
  2. Aluminum siding must be repainted every five years.
  3. Aluminum siding might need to be grounded.
  4. Aluminum siding typically looks cheap.
Explanation
Answer: C - Aluminum siding might need to be grounded. It generally depends on city code. Home inspectors who work in communities that have this mandate will inform clients of the requirement. You should not test whether or not siding is grounded but instead recommend the client hire an expert contractor to handle the task. Include the recommendation in your inspection report.
