Are you looking to update the look of the siding of your home?
Painting home siding is something that most of us will encounter in our lifetimes so it is important to know a little bit about it. Many houses in this day and age have moved away from the rustic wooden planks or bricks to something much more practical: vinyl or aluminum siding. Living in the city of Mississauga, vinyl and metal siding on houses is the best choice in order to face those harsh winters and blistering summers. And as summer creeps upon us, it’s the perfect time for your old siding to get freshened up!
Painting Exterior siding is actually our most popular and requested service. Siding painting when it is still in good condition but the paint coating has probably faded or in some cases totally disintegrated.
Another common problem with siding maintenance is the caulking of it. Caulking deteriorates after years of wear and tear and is a common problem with the exterior of homes. So as part of our House Painting service, we can repair or replace any damaged areas, change the planks repair holes or dent, and Re-caulk your aluminum siding to protect it from water and air leakage.
If you want to improve your home’s curb appeal in a major way, exterior painting can make a big difference. Over the years, a home’s exterior can become weathered and aged due to exposure to the elements. This gives a home a dated appearance, especially when compared to newer homes with fresher exteriors.

Aluminum Siding Painting
If you have a house that is older, aluminum painting is an exterior painting service your home may need. Aluminum siding is an older version of siding that has been around since the 1950s. It is often used as the outer protective shell of the home because it’s so lightweight.
However, the downside is that aluminum oxidizes very easily, so the colors fade as it becomes chalky from the breakdown of the metal surface due to exposure to sunlight. While aluminum siding is a long-term exterior covering, the paint that coats the corrugated metal is not. A paint job may be needed for your home if your siding has not been treated or attended to in quite some time. Homeowners often see fading, which leads to the colors becoming old and dull. Because of this, the colors tend to have a dated look, giving a worn-out appearance.
Vinyl Siding Painting
Vinyl siding is a popular, low maintenance, and cost-friendly option for homeowners. While vinyl is known to avoid peeling or chipping, it is certainly not invincible. It can warp in hot temperatures and crack in cold temperatures, and the general exposure to Mississauga’s climate will inevitably leave its mark on your vinyl siding. It may be news to some homeowners that it’s even possible to paint your vinyl siding – an option that will not only have your house looking better than ever but also one that doesn’t break the bank. The long-lasting benefits of painting your vinyl siding are sprucing up weathered siding to look better than new, while simultaneously protecting your home using quality coating technology. Giving your vinyl siding a quality exterior paint job provides you with the opportunity to enhance your home’s durability and update your color scheme at the same time, all for a bargain compared to the cost of having the siding replaced.

Steps and tips for painting your siding
Painting home siding is about more than just looking pretty – it will yield both aesthetic and structural benefits. Repainting can refresh old and weathered siding, giving it a new appearance and ultimately making your home look better. This is a great idea if you are planning on selling your home, or if you are looking for a budget-friendly way to change up your exterior! But even further than that, new paint can also improve the siding’s ability to do its job. Siding is put in place in order to protect our homes from the elements, and in Mississauga, with our wild temperature swings and extremes, this is no easy feat. Read below to find a few crucial steps and helpful tips for painting your siding!
1. Getting Started Painting Home Siding
Mississauga weather can be difficult to plan around, but this is a crucial step in deciding when to paint your siding. To make sure that the paint you apply goes on strong and lasts long, avoid choosing a day that is sweltering hot or too rainy and cold to paint. Days that are warm and slightly overcast are the best days for painting siding. They provide a temperate climate that is perfect for painting, ensuring that each coat dries evenly and smoothly.
2. Prepping and Priming
The next important step, once you have decided to paint your siding, is to ensure that you are prepping it correctly. First, Give your siding a thorough pressure washing in order to get rid of the dirt and dust that have built up over time. Next, make sure to spot prime any bare aluminum or, if you have vinyl siding, use a paint formulated to adhere properly to the surface. Not all paints will adhere to vinyl surfaces.
Once you have cleaned and primed your siding, you can begin the painting process!
3. Maintenance
Now that your siding looks as good as a show home, let’s make sure it stays that way! Regular maintenance is key to ensuring a good-looking, durable finish that will last you years. In order to maintain that freshly-painted vinyl siding, make sure you pressure wash it either at the beginning or end of each summer to remove any stuck-on dust, dirt, or insects. If you have painted aluminum siding make sure to inspect yearly for any paint chipping and scrape and repaint ASAP to preserve the rest of the painted siding! While you’re out there, be sure to look out for things that may need little fixes in order to keep the exterior of your Mississauga home in tip-top shape!
Doing a proper and effective job on the siding of your home can be quite a large task, especially if you have a multi-story house, trees in the way, extreme wear and tear on the old coat of paint, hills, etc. If you feel like it’s too big for you to take on, don’t hesitate to give us a call for a free quote!
