Install Metal Siding

Tips from Real-Estate-Agents.com

Aluminum and steel siding systems look similar to horizontal wood siding but don't require as much maintenance. These systems can be applied right over old siding but are easier to apply over solid sheathing.

If your home is sided with aluminum, you may be able to use some vinyl specialty parts; otherwise, you can get custom-bent aluminum pieces for some architectural features, but these tend to be expensive and not very authentic looking. Some aluminum siding does have to be painted just like wood. But a paint job similar to one used for cars ensures a long life.
