3 Things to Consider Before Painting Your Siding

Painting your vinyl siding is a great option for those DIYers who want a new look and want to save some money. However, there are a two things you should know before getting started:

If your siding color is fading, the siding quality overall might be poor. Vinyl siding can last for at least twenty years and at most, forty years, therefore, if your siding is over 15 years old it may be better to replace it through a Siding professional in Friendswood TX. Secondly, before you start painting, check the weather for the rest of the week. Low humidity and a partly cloudy day are ideal. Too much wind or sun can create cracks and flakes in the paint.

Make sure everything is clean first. Don’t paint over dirt! You need to make sure your surface is clean so the paint can stick to it. You can use a power washer or you can make your own cleaning solution to ensure your siding is clean. Lastly, make sure you choose a paint that is a shade that will properly cover up your original color. It’s best to avoid colors darker than your original color.
