Painting a Vinyl Siding Clad Colonial in Plainville

Vinyl siding, holds a secret they don’t tell you when you first put it on your home. The secret is that even vinyl siding doesn’t last forever. Over time the finish fades and looks bleached out, it fades at different rates in different areas depending on the amount of sun exposure it gets. The end result is an exterior that still protects your home from the elements but has lost a lot of its curb appeal.

The options you have as a homeowner are to replace the siding at very large expense, or to actually paint the vinyl siding. In the past painting the siding wasn’t an option because the formulation for paints that would work well on vinyl didn’t exist. Today, however you can paint over vinyl siding as easily as over wood and the results last every bit as long.

While it’s best to stick to fairly light colors when painting vinyl siding, you are no longer stuck forever with the original shade of the siding your house was clad in. In the case of this colonial in Plainville Connecticut, the owner chose to keep the original light blue. They were thrilled with the results and glad they chose the faster and much more affordable option.

Before the painting started…

The house looked faded, dull and blotchy. The level of contrast between the trim and the siding was minimal.
