Aluminum & Vinyl Siding Painting | Harding’s Painting

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.

Our Siding Painting Process

Preparation: We power wash the siding to remove dirt, mildew, and oxidation.
Masking: We carefully protect your windows, doors, roofline, and landscaping with professional-grade plastic and tape.
Application: Using high-volume sprayers, we apply the specialized VinylSafe® or aluminum-bonding coatings for a flawless finish.
Inspection: We perform a final walk-through with you to ensure the results are perfect.

Refresh the Look of Your Aluminum and Vinyl Siding

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.

I tried cleaning my garage doors and the paint started coming off, I learned that old paint turns powdery over time and it looked so bad and patchy

Emailed the company for a quote and the response was super fast and efficient. Jeff was sent out to paint and he did an amazing job! was really nice and professional. I’m so impressed he was able to get on the roof no problem and everything was done before I got home. Very happy with the service, would recommend.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We hired Hardings to do a couple of smaller jobs including my son’s bedroom as well as painting all our window sills in the house. Jose and Waleska were amazing!  They were friendly, professional and worked tirelessly to get the work done quickly and did a wonderful job.  They went over an above helping us to close a window in our house that had been open for months due to a broken crank which window washers were unable to help with. I am very happy with the outcome, their work  looks great and they were so tidy and clean along the way. I will definitely be requesting them the next time we need painting done!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This review is for the second crew, Jose and Waleska, who came in to fix the first crew's work.

Jose and Waleska did an amazing job. They exceeded expectations with their attention to detail and respect for our property. Our trim looks better than it ever has. The work they did produced better results than what Harding's felt was going to be possible. Even with the sanding they had to do, there was very little dust to cleanup afterwards as they did a great job of cleaning up after themselves every day.

I will be requesting Jose and Waleska for my future painting needs
