Repainting Vs. New Siding Installation

Settling the question of repainting vs. new siding installation in your home is an important decision that will have a long-lasting effect. Both options involve money, time and work. Better View Windows and More, your trusted window replacement company, is here to help you understand your options.

Painting Costs Less than Siding

Painting is the more common and oftentimes cheaper option. If done well, your home will get a fresh look and lasting protection against weather damage. You can tint paint in several colors, so your options in appearance are quite limitless. You can also undergo re-painting jobs if you want a makeover for your home.

Even the best quality paint, though, usually lasts up to seven years only. Cheaper paint will peel and fade in four years or less. Sometimes the best solution is stripping and starting all over. This can be so costly that the better option is to invest in new siding. The solution: James Hardie® siding and trim with ColorPlus® Technology. Better View Windows and More, your window installation professional, is here for you. Let us help you with that decision of repainting vs. new siding installation.

Siding is the Better Option

Installing new siding for your home is the second option. Siding is available in a wide range of materials with varying costs. Consider how siding adds value to your home, such as its low maintenance and its longevity. Wood, vinyl and cement board, if well maintained, will last up to 50 years. Stone, brick, brick veneer and slate can last even more.

Vinyl siding and wood siding with paint applied on the job site fade and dull over time. James Hardie siding and trim with ColorPlus Technology gives gorgeous and lasting color. ColorPlus Technology involves coating the boards and edges for complete coverage. Curing the boards between every coat eliminates inconsistency for an even stronger bond.
