Does painting vinyl siding make it last longer?

• <div><p>While painting vinyl siding is never necessary, people who paint vinyl to update the look of their homes can potentially get the secondary benefit of giving siding a protective seal. However, the wrong paint can actually promote <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/vinyl-siding-melting.htm">vinyl siding melting</a> or warping by attracting sunlight and heat. It's important to choose a vinyl-safe paint color that is either equal to or lighter than the current shade to prevent attracting heat to a darker color. Most homeowners who choose to paint vinyl siding need to repaint every five to 10 years.</p></div>

Q: Is it more affordable to repair vinyl siding or replace it?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s almost always more affordable to repair vinyl siding. It costs an average of $3 to $12 per square foot to install new vinyl siding. Alternatively, it costs between $2 and $4 per square foot to repair vinyl siding. In some cases, a complete replacement may be more expensive up front, but could save you money in the long run if it helps avoid ongoing issues like leaks and water damage. Use a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/siding-calculator.htm">siding calculator</a> to determine square footage and estimate the costs of both options. </p></div>

Q: Can cleaning damage my vinyl siding?

• <div><p>Vinyl can withstand many different cleaning methods, but there are two things you need to be wary of. First, particularly harsh chemicals will damage your vinyl siding and reduce its lifespan. Second, be careful about pressure washing your vinyl siding. Vinyl can resist powerful washing damage more than softer siding like wood, but high levels of pressure can still crack it. Use the lowest level of pressure for power washing vinyl, or <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-hire-siding-contractor.htm">hire a siding professional</a> to do it.</p></div>

Q: Do repairs include color matching?

• <div><p>Yes, most professionals match the stucco color to ensure a seamless appearance. Confirm with your provider.</p></div>

Q: What is the easiest way to remove vinyl siding?

• <div><p>The easiest way to remove vinyl siding is with a zip tool, which can be purchased at a local hardware store for less than $10. This tool works by slipping underneath a panel to disconnect two pieces of vinyl siding from one another. Once the tool is hooked underneath, slide the tool across the vinyl panel and pry upward.</p></div>
