If you have vinyl siding on your home, you may think house painting is out of the question. However, if it’s done by a skilled painter with experience in vinyl painting, it could be the perfect way to freshen up the exterior of your home. Here’s more about painting vinyl siding.

Can You Paint Vinyl Siding?

Vinyl siding is known for its longevity and ability to stand up to the elements. Today, there are multitudes of paints that have been developed for safe use on the material. Its nonporous, weather-resistant surface makes it safe to paint, if you do it properly.

Before your painter can start work, they must extensively clean the vinyl, ideally with a pressure washer. A primer must coat the surface before the paint; your exterior painting company should have specific paints that are approved for use on vinyl, such as high-quality acrylic or latex urethane.

Before painting, read your siding’s warranty to check if a new coat will void it. Also, ensure the weather is OK before contacting the painting crew. Vinyl house painting should also only be done in mild, dry weather, like in early fall. If it’s too hot, humid, or wet, it affects the way the paint sets, leading to imperfect or ruined results.

What Are Some Signs It Needs New Paint?

Knowing when to paint your vinyl is just as important as finding a painting crew who knows how to do it. The process might not be the optimal option if the siding itself is damaged or outdated; painting does not fix it or make it more insulated. Vinyl that’s faded in color or stained, however, can be made to look like new again with a fresh coat of paint.

If you’re trying to sell your house, it might also be wise to boost its curb appeal by painting it a neutral or welcoming color. This is especially smart if you have bright or unusually colored siding now. It’s also a perfect way to match the outward appearance of your home to an interior remodel.
