Back to Siding

You never own a paint job, you lease it
Today's lead-free paint is 65% water, which means most homes need to be painted every four to five years to maintain a fresh appearance. Many economize by doing it themselves, but fail to calculate the real cost in labor and time! Here's what it costs to professionally paint the average home every five years.

Painting can cost significantly more, over the life of your home, than siding once.

Nationally syndicated newspaper columnist Tim Carter of "Ask the Builder" says vinyl siding is a better alternative than painting for a number of reasons. For one, to keep a wood siding finish looking like new may require repainting every four years or so, while vinyl siding will only require simple periodic cleanings.
