Should You Paint or Replace Your Siding?

There are many reasons why you would paint your siding rather than replace your siding. Each situation is unique. So, how do you decide? Here are factors to consider to help you make your decision.

• The siding’s age: If your siding is going to be replaced in five or so years, don’t paint it; just go ahead and replace your siding.
• Cost: If you have a unique shade or tent you want your home color to be, it may be less expensive to paint it then replacing the vinyl siding.
• Condition of siding: if the siding has dents or holes or rotting sections; it’s best to replace the vinyl siding.
• Warranty: know your warranty as painting your vinyl siding may void your warranty.
• Time: if you are removing or replacing your vinyl siding, you’ll need to plan on it taking several days. Painting the vinyl siding can usually be done in less time.
