Get matched with top vinyl siding cleaning pros in Keauhou, HI

Painting faded siding is more budget-friendly than replacing it, but depending on how old your siding is and whether it’s sustained damage beyond fading, it may be a better idea to replace old, faded siding. Vinyl siding that’s 20 years old or more is nearing the end of its lifespan, and painting may freshen up its appearance, but it won’t buy you much more time before the siding needs to be replaced.

Eave repairs are comparable to other roof repair costs, averaging between $350 and $1,800, depending on the extent of the damage. Replacing eaves by themselves can be anywhere from $1500 to $5,000, depending on the roof’s square footage and the size of the damaged area, but they’re often replaced as part of a full new roof installation.

Purchasing the same model and color of siding that your home currently has gives you the best chance at an accurate match. However, even if you purchase replacement siding from the same manufacturer, fading often causes a slight color mismatch. Dark colored siding fades faster than light colored siding, so you may notice a color mismatch more with dark colors. When trying to learn how to restore faded vinyl siding, cleaning the original siding is a good start. You also may be able to paint your existing siding to create a better match with the new siding.
