Help! My Vinyl Siding Needs a Boost
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Matthew_Jaworski]Matthew Jaworski

Vinyl siding can range in price from around $4.50 to 8.00 a square foot. Take that and add the cost of installing the siding and it could get expensive. If you want to give your home a face lift, painting your vinyl siding can give it just the boost it needs. In earlier years, painting your vinyl siding was nearly impossible. If you wanted a change then you had to simply replace the siding with some new siding. This was costly to many homeowners. Over the years though, paint manufacturers have developed paint that is designed to adhere to vinyl siding.

 
One recommendation when painting vinyl siding is that you stay close to the current color scheme or go maybe one shade darker but no more than that. The darker the color, the easier it is to see damages and unevenness. Remember, when siding gets too hot it can warp. If you have a real dark color it will show. When picking your paint be sure to pick an exterior paint that is designed for vinyl siding.
 
You will need to clean the outside of our home before painting the siding. This can range from pressure washing to scrubbing the dirt off of the home. Mildew buildup can be removed by bleach and water. Painting vinyl siding requires a super clean surface and all oxidation needs to be removed from the home.

Vinyl siding is a great investment and it can come in many designs and colors. When you need a change though, painting your siding is a great way to go and can save you a lot of money in the end over replacing the vinyl.
