I tapped on the siding and thought it was vinyl. Then I found a small area where the face was chipped off and it exposed aluminum. Has anyone been fooled into thinking that it was vinyl and it was really aluminum? I guess I will start drilling holes to find out. Just kidding.


Any suggestions for proper inspection technics?

Hi to all,


Kelly, funny you mentioned it last week I was doing an inspection on a property thet had both, and the color match was very good, it was only when I read the sellers disclosure which showed a mix of aluminum and vinyl that I recheck to siding myself and found the mix, I had initially reported it as vinyl which was the first area that I had looked at. ![icon_redface.gif](upload://f7DX2EWhmUfsDapWaYT3oJHMCj1.gif)
