After the hail storm, Eric pulled off some of the layers in the back corner of the house to see what was below the aluminum. Under the vinyl soffits was a layer of painted plywood covering an open soffit of rafter tails and beadboard. It also showed a layer of asbestos siding. Further up you could see the original wood lap siding under the asbestos. Good news?
All of the wood brackets were still there, just completely boxed in with vinyl.
Next he pulled off the aluminum and a bit of the asbestos to see the condition of the siding in a couple spots. Good news...the metal corners were still intact. Bad news...when they put up the asbestos siding they chopped off about an inch of the wood window sills so they could take the siding right up to the outside edge of the trim. More bad news...then when they put up the aluminum siding they chopped off 4-5 more inches of the window sill so they could disgustingly take the aluminum right up to the inside of the window trim - covering up all of the trim and making the house quite boring.
