How Long Does Painting Vinyl Siding Last?

From the factory, vinyl siding comes treated with a water-based colorant that gives it its hue. While this may be vibrant to start out, chances are it won’t be more than a couple years before it’s looking dull and faded. This is because the colorants used are not typically UV/weather resistant. 

Ultimately, the exact longevity will vary with the quality/type of colorant and the local conditions (frequency of elements like sun, rain, snow, etc.). But, whenever the color needs refreshed, the good news is that you can have the siding professionally painted for much longer lasting results. 

How long does painting vinyl siding last, exactly? So long as this process is followed, you can expect brilliant results that endure for 10+ years:

• Thoroughly power washing the siding to remove any algae, dirt or other debris
• Filling in any gaps to ensure a smooth surface
• Priming the siding 
• Applying a premium, vinyl-safe, IR-reflective and UV-protective paint
