Vinyl Siding Maintenance and Painting

Yes! You Must Maintain Your Vinyl Siding.

Most people buy vinyl siding because it is maintenance free. The truth is, it is MORE maintenance free than other siding options, but still, there are a few minor maintenance issues.
Not surprisingly, vinyl siding Brooklyn needs to cleaned to remove the dirt and mildew that collects on the surface. A bucket with vinegar and water will do the job. You can brush it on and hose it off. It is better to just use your hose for washing vinyl siding because power sprayers can get water behind the panels.

If you install vinyl siding Queens with a brighter or darker color, rather than soft pastels or white, you are likely to notice the panels fading after about 10 years. Some people choose to actually paint the vinyl for this reason. Or perhaps you moved into a home with existing vinyl panels in some socially unacceptable color like avocado. In these cases you may want to actually paint the vinyl. After washing the house, use latex paint that will flex with the vinyl.
