The Benefits To Painting Your Vinyl Siding

If you're considering vinyl siding for your commercial property, you'll be pleased to know that it offers a multitude of benefits.

The most common benefit is that vinyl siding is not only durable and long-lasting, but it also requires minimal maintenance. Unlike other types of siding, vinyl does not need to be painted regularly to maintain its appearance. As long as the correct type of paint is used, your vinyl siding paint job will last for many years to come.

Painting your vinyl siding can easily be done with the right preparation and the right materials. The benefits of vinyl siding painting are not just to change the entire color of your building's exterior, but also to enhance curb appeal, and protect the underlying material from damage.

So the big question is, how do you choose the right paint for your vinyl siding without compromising its quality or longevity?

Choosing the Right Paint

When choosing the right paint for your vinyl siding, it's important to consider factors such as durability and color options. Here are three things to keep in mind when choosing the right paint color.

Long-lasting paint:

We will come out and examine your building and give you our best advice on the paint that will last the longest under the exterior condition of your business.

Curb appeal:
Choose a paint color that complements your commercial building and enhances the overall aesthetic of your building's design. Having the right color of paint for your siding (to go with your building) can greatly improve the curb appeal of your property.

Siding materials:
Consider the type of vinyl siding you have currently before selecting the paint you would like to use. Different materials may require different types of paints or primers for optimal adhesion and longevity.

Again, if you have any questions about choosing the right type of paint or even choosing the best color to compliment the rest of your building, give us a call. We will come out to your location and show you samples of past jobs we have done and help you decide on the best color that will go best with your business.

Once you have chosen the right color of paint, it's time to move on to preparing the surface of your siding before starting the painting process.


Preparing the Surface

HowTo Prepair The Outside of Your Commercial Building

Before starting the painting process, it's important to properly prepare the surface of your commercial building. This is the most important step to ensuring that the paint will adhere to the surface of your building and provide a long-lasting finish.

Begin by thoroughly cleaning the vinyl siding to remove any dirt, debris, or mildew using a pressure washer or a mixture of soap and water. If need be, we can provide our pressure washing services to clean the outside of your building for you.

Next, repair any damaged vinyl siding with new replacement vinyl siding before proceeding with painting services.

Next, fill in any cracks or holes with caulk and then let it dry overnight. Once the caulk is dried, sand down any rough areas to create a smooth surface across the face of your vinyl siding.

Last, but not least, it's recommended to apply a primer specifically formulated for exterior use on vinyl siding. This will make sure the new paint color will adhere to the vinyl siding correctly and stick for many more years to come. This will help provide an even finish to the face of your siding so the new paint color is evenly distributed across all visible parts of your building.

Once the surface is cleaned, caulked, sanded, primed, and prepared, you can move on to proper painting techniques to make your siding look its best.

Longevity Of Painted Siding

How To Choose The Right Paint

If you've invested the time and effort into painting your vinyl siding, you want to ensure that it will last as long as possible. The longevity of painted siding depends on several factors.

One important factor to consider is the quality of the paint used. Look for a high-quality exterior paint that contains acrylic and urethane resins, as this will provide better durability and resistance to fading. We at Chattanooga Painters only use original certified Sherwin-Williams paint. Sherwin-Williams has been proven to last longer than any other brand (as long as you use the right type).

Additionally, proper preparation and application techniques are also crucial for ensuring a long-lasting paint job. Make sure to clean and prime the surface before painting, and apply multiple coats for optimal coverage.

Keep in mind that certain types of siding, such as aluminum siding, may not hold paint as well as other vinyl forms of siding. This is why it is so important to have us come out and evaluate your business and give you our best recommendation as to the proper paint to use to paint the exterior part of your building.

Alternative Siding Options

Deciding On The Right Siding For Your Business

There are several alternative options available for commercial buildings when it comes to exterior siding.

If you decide not to paint your siding, one option is to install new vinyl siding. This can give your building a fresh look and eliminate the need for painting. However, keep in mind that vinyl siding may not be the best choice if you want to change the color frequently or if you prefer a more unique aesthetic color that new vinyl siding is not offered as.

Another option is to consider standard siding made with urethane and acrylic resins, which offers durability and longevity. These types of siding come in a wide range of colors and can be applied using a paint sprayer for an even coat of paint. This allows you to give that standard siding that precise unique color that goes with the rest of your building.

Ultimately, it's important to weigh the pros and cons of each option before making a decision. That is why we ask that you give us a call and arrange for your free consultation with us. We will come out to your business and show you past jobs and give you multiple options to choose from. Our goal is to make sure you are 100% happy and completely satisfied with our work in the end.

Commonly Asked Questions About Brick Painting

What happens if you paint brick without primer?

No matter whether the brick you're painting is old or new, interior or exterior, you absolutely must use a primer. "You want a primer that will 'bite' into the brick; the better it can wrap around those pores and get into all the nooks and crannies, the better the paint will adhere,"

Can you paint over painted brick?

Architectural Digest recommends applying latex paint over the brickwork with a thick-pile roller only after the primer has dried completely. Exterior bricks need to breathe; exterior latex paint provides a porous skin that allows moisture to escape or wick from the underlying surface.

What kind of paint do you use on brick?

Acrylic latex paints are the best to use for painted brick because they're more flexible than oil-based paints but they're still very durable. Not only that, by acrylic latex paint doesn't put off VOCs so it doesn't smell as toxic and it can be cleaned up with soapy water rather than nasty stuff like paint thinner.
