Aluminum and Vinyl Siding Painting: A Cost-Effective Home Refresh


When it comes to painting aluminum siding or vinyl surfaces, precision is everything. Our painting guarantee ensures that our work meets your highest standards. Don’t Pay Until You’re Satisfied—it’s our commitment to quality on every exterior project. Because we don’t require deposits for our painting services, you can move forward with your home refresh with complete confidence.

Modern Solutions for Painting Vinyl Siding

For years, homeowners were told they couldn’t choose dark colours when painting vinyl siding because the heat absorption would cause the material to warp or buckle. Those days are over.

  • VinylSafe® Technology: We use Sherwin-Williams VinylSafe® paint colours, which are formulated to resist heat gain. This allows you the freedom to choose from over 100 colour possibilities, including trendy dark grays, navys, and blacks, without compromising the integrity of your siding.
  • Canadian Climate Durability: Our products are specifically chosen to withstand the extreme temperature fluctuations of the Canadian climate, ensuring your siding looks great through freezing winters and scorching summers.

Expert Techniques for Painting Aluminum Siding

Painting aluminum siding requires a different approach than vinyl. Over time, aluminum develops a “chalky” oxidation layer that prevents standard paint from sticking.

  • Surface Preparation: We meticulously power wash and treat aluminum surfaces to remove oxidation, ensuring a perfect bond.
  • Durable Adhesion: We use high-performance latex paints like Emerald® or Duration® that bond to the metal, providing a finish that won’t chip or peel like the original factory coating might have.

Why Choose Professional Siding Painting?

  • Curb Appeal for a Fraction of the Cost: Painting vinyl siding typically costs significantly less than a full siding replacement, yet provides the exact same visual impact.
  • Seamless Results: Our professional spray application ensures no brush marks or laps—just a smooth, uniform appearance that looks like it came straight from the manufacturer.
  • Increased Property Value: A fresh, modern exterior is one of the quickest ways to increase the market value of your home.

Refresh the look of your aluminum or vinyl, with vinyl siding painting options from Harding’s; with more color options than ever and vinyl safe paint.

For many years there was limitations to painting your vinyl siding. Using a darker colour over a lighter colour would cause the vinyl to buckle, constrict or warp exposing lines along the vinyl of your previous colour, especially in the winter. So your only option was to choose a similar colour to hide this limitation.

Those days have changed and it is now perfectly safe to paint your vinyl without limitation by using Sherwin-Williams VinylSafe® paint colors. New paint technology allows you the freedom to choose from over 100 color possibilities, including a selection of dark colors formulated to resist warping and buckling when applied to a viable vinyl substrate. This is great news for Canadian climates because there is a durable product that stands up against constriction and temperature fluctuation.

The biggest impact on transforming your homes value and curb appeal is exterior painting. Harding’s exterior painting services will have your aluminum and vinyl looking its best. We’ve teamed up with our partners at Sherwin Williams® to make your vinyl painting project as seamless as possible. Get it, no more seams!

Painting your vinyl siding comes at a considerable cost advantage to replacing the existing vinyl or aluminum siding with the same or upgraded siding products.

Select a colour from the VinylSafe® palette and we will apply it using any number of Sherwin-Williams products, such as: Emerald®Duration®Resilience®SuperPaint® latex paints, or SnapDry™ Door & Trim Paint. All of these SW products give you a wide range of colour opportunities for your exterior vinyl.
