Important Factors when Painting Vinyl Siding in Northwest Florida

Posted on May 27, 2023

Many Northwest Florida homes are built with vinyl siding exteriors. Yes, you can paint vinyl siding! Repainting siding is less expensive than replacing. Also, using professional painters and high-quality paints help prevent common vinyl siding problems such as fading, peeling, and cracking. Doing so will produce an excellent finished job that will last for years and satisfy you much more than DIY (do-it-yourself.)

Steps to follow when repainting vinyl siding:

  1. Prepare the surface: pressure wash the entire surface area. All siding must be completely free of dirt and grime so that the paint will adhere and last a long time.Pressure washing is best left to professionals because if water creeps behind the siding, it can cause water damage.
  2. Choose the right paint color: Most painting companies and contractors have consulting services. The professionals at CertaPro Painters are experienced and will happily guide you through choosing the most suitable color choice for the exterior of your home.
  3. Choose the correct type of paint: Paints safe for vinyl with ingredients such as latex urethane will be the right ones. A professional contractor will be knowledgeable about the correct type.
  4. Choose the correct painters and equipment: The right equipment must produce a high-quality, smooth finish. You do not use rollers and brushes for a vinyl siding job; professional spraying equipment will have the desired effect. Scaffolding and other equipment used by pros make the job go much more quickly and remove stress and headache from the homeowner.
