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.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Moved into a new home and asked Harding's to paint the entire interior. The workmanship of both of our painters, Peter and Joseph, was exceptional and they were both always happy to ask questions about what I wanted here and there. The project took more time than originally thought, but that was due to a misunderstanding between the estimation and site team, in that there was a missed room. Saying that, Harding's maintained their original price and completed the missed room regardless, which speaks to their professionalism and integrity. I would highly recommend Harding's to all family and friends, especially Peter and Joseph, and will be looking to bring them back from any future projects that I have.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Harding’s Painting recently completed the exterior painting of my home, and they did an outstanding job from start to finish. Right from the quote process with Lauren and then the team of Jonathan and the crew of  Peter and Joseph was professional, punctual, and highly skilled. The preparation work was thorough, the attention to detail was excellent, and the final result exceeded my expectations.

They took great care with the stucco, brick, and parging, and the finish is clean, even, and beautifully done. The crew was respectful of my property, kept the site tidy, and communicated clearly throughout the project.

I am very pleased with the quality of their workmanship and would confidently recommend Harding’s Painting to anyone looking for reliable, high‑quality exterior painting. A well‑deserved five stars

Update in November

A special thank you to Jonathan, as well as Jozsef and Peter, for their prompt response to a downspout issue that arose after a windstorm. They returned quickly, addressed the concern, and ensured everything was properly secured, giving me peace of mind heading into the winter season.

I highly recommend Harding’s Painting for their quality work and outstanding customer service. Well-deserved five stars!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The crew at Harding's did an amazing job. We had our garage door and deck re-stained, which was a boatload of work over two or three days, but they completed it quickly and cleanly. The garage door looks better than when I got it. Jon explained the tradeoffs of the stains we were looking at very well, and gave me a lot of advice to keep it looking new. I don't even have to think twice about who I'll call for the next job we have.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We are currently having lots done at our place. By far this has been the best experience out of all the other companies combined. George was an absolute delight to work with and really listened to us and made sure everything was perfect. Harpreet and his team were on time and were very talented at making the finished job look perfect. I highly recommend this company for all your painting needs and we will be using them in the future for all out painting needs. I’d give more stars if I could.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From the start it was a great experience working with Hardings. George and his team went above and beyond to make sure we were happy with the painting of our full house. If we had a concerns, they came back and touched up everything. We even had an unrelated issue with one of our walls and they came back and redid that wall for us weeks after the original work. I would recommend Hardings to anyone. They also were the most reasonable price wise when we looked around. Overall, 10 out of 10 experience!! Can’t say enough great things!
