Frequently Asked Questions about Vinyl Siding:
| Our painters have painted countless vinyl siding homes and know the ins and outs of getting the best results. For example, we have found that paint type and temperature are two of the most important factors of a vinyl siding paint job. |
| Is it cheaper to paint or replace vinyl siding? When faced with aging or worn-out vinyl siding, homeowners often ponder whether it’s cheaper to paint or replace it altogether. Both options have their merits, but at the end of the day painting vinyl siding is likely to be more cost-effective than an entire replacement. Of course, the cost of painting will primarily depend on the size of the house and the quality of paint chosen. The majority of the time, however, painting vinyl siding allows you to change the color and refresh the appearance of your home without incurring the expense of new siding installation. |
| When is the best time to paint vinyl siding? Choosing the right time to paint your vinyl siding can greatly impact the overall success and longevity of the paint job. Ideally, you’ll want to tackle this project during a time when the weather conditions are most favorable. Generally, the best time to paint vinyl siding is during mild weather, preferably in spring or fall when temperatures are moderate and humidity is relatively low. |
| Extreme temperatures can affect the performance of the paint and hinder its ability to adhere properly. Avoid painting vinyl siding during hot summer months when the surface can become excessively hot, as this may cause the paint to dry too quickly, leading to inadequate adhesion. Similarly, extremely cold temperatures can also impact the curing process and result in poor adhesion and cracking. |
