Aluminum siding question

[Larry Mondello]

Hello,

I rent a place that has Aluminum siding. It's been getting hot all summer and I think even winter will be warm/humid. I have ducted air conditioner that someone gave me awhile back, so I want to put a 3" hole through my wall to duct the heated air outside. I have aluminum siding.

Question is is it hard to repair this afterwards? When I move out I would want to repair this myself, if it is easy. I am pretty handy, but since the slats go on top of one another, would this mean I need to pull out a whole slat r is there a simpler way to repair, like a hole kit?

Thanks,
Larry

I suppose you cut around it if you do nice and clean cuts, but putting it back so it looks like original condition aint going to happen. So your landlord is going to be the deciding factor if you can do this or not. One thing is for sure, your not going to find any matching replacement panels so your only option would be to paint the whole house. Tom

Larry,

Sometimes when trying to cover up alterations like your talking about, you have to get creative in making your repair look like something that come straight from the factory. Maybe incorporate an exterior outlet, or a exterior faucet that you will install later after you remove your unit, depending on how high you make your hole. Just something to think before you cut your 3" cut

Good Luck
Tracy
