Get matched with top vinyl siding cleaning pros in Chatham, LA

It is possible to restore vinyl siding, as it’s known to fade in color with exposure to the elements. Worse, the fading isn’t always uniform around the house. Making a siding repair that’s 100% invisible is difficult, if not impossible. You can get close to perfect, but not always. 

However, if you have significant discoloration, wish to change the color of your house, or want to put off replacement for a year, you’re not entirely out of luck. You may be surprised to learn that you can paint your vinyl siding with good results, although not incredibly long-lasting.

Vinyl siding is durable, low-maintenance, weather-resistant, and available in various colors and styles. It also provides excellent insulation, improving energy efficiency.

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.
