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 vinyl siding melting or warping by attracting sunlight and heat.

Most homeowners who choose to paint vinyl siding need to repaint every five to 10 years.

It is a classic design element that, while seen more commonly in cottage-style homes, is a relatively inexpensive way to add an immense amount of character to a room. If you have popcorn ceilings or flat drywall, consider either adding a full beadboard ceiling or installing coffered framing over your existing ceiling texture.
