Can Aluminum Siding Be Painted?

There are many differing opinions on how long paint should last on aluminum siding and trim, but one thing is agreed on by just about everyone, Aluminum siding can be painted and has for decades.  The fact is many projects we are called on to paint aluminum siding have already been painted prior to our arrival.

How Long Will It Last?

If you paint your aluminum siding, you should expect it to last anywhere from seven to 15 years, depending on the color. Colors that are darker or more pigmented (think red, dark gray, green) will start to fade around the five to seven year mark. White and other light colors last longest and will take about 15 to 18 years before the coating starts to show it's age, however it's a good idea to repaint before the coating fails because your next paint job is only as good as what it's going on top of.

Can I Use Dark Colors?

YES however when painting aluminum siding that has been previously painted you never know how well the underlying coats of paint have been installed, sometimes people take on painting as a DIY project and may not properly prep the surface before starting. This would mean the paint job you are going over is not properly adhered. The coating may not be failing yet but if it gets a color change from a light color to a dark color this could spell trouble.
Lighter colors reflect most of the light keeping them cool, while darker colors absorb light making them hotter, the hotter the surface the more it will expand and contract, this movement will cause partially adhered underlying coats of paint to fail where if they had continued to be painted with a light color no failure would have occurred.  We recommend a thorough evaluation of your existing coating before making any drastic color changes.

Isn't It Cheaper To Just Replace It?

Every year, tons and tons of construction waste ends up in landfills all over the planet. While we will always recommend replacing damaged or broken siding we believe that not only is it the eco friendly option, but painting your siding is the budget friendly option as well. You can repaint your house four to six times for the cost of replacing the siding once.

There is no question that painting is much more cost effective, and you can change up the color every time you repaint.

Who paints curbs without scraping the old paint and prepping the concrete first? DJs PAINTING does! What a horrible job done by this crew in Penns Grove, NJ. The curbs look like we let the preschool kids water paint throughout town. None of the curbs were scraped or prepped and more than half look like the sprayer was running out of paint.. let's not talk about the overspray all over the road and sidewalks. Absolute trash job performed by this company. Makes you wonder who they know...

Great experience! Showed up on time, did a great job were very neat. Move furniture without any damage and all rooms that were painted look great. Moved everything back in place, cleaned up and left our home looking great. I would certainly give D&J Painting 5 stars and recommend them for a truly professional job. Certainly the crew that painted our home!!

Our experience from start finish was great! Quick responses from quoting, to scheduling, and getting the job done. Staff was punctual and professional. Our house was not easy to paint with 2 large pergolas outback against 2 sides of the house but they manged to do an amazing job around all the difficult structure being in their way. The price was very reasonable. Already looking forward to working with this company again.

The experience of working with Daniel and Lalo at the Millville Church of the Nazarene was exceptional. They were both knowledgeable and professional. When I was told a crew would be reporting in the morning, I expected 4 - 6 professionals coming in to work, to my surprise, the crew consisted of 2 men. This would be my only issue with my complete experience. They worked great together when they were both there. At times there was only one worker on site, for safety and efficiency I wasn't comfortable with this practice. Overall, there isn't anything negative I can think of concerning their work ethics or performance. I would recommend DJ'S PAINTING to any business or private individual.

We had our steps sanded and painted by DJs. I paid them, then sent the owner pictures because I was not happy with the outcome. He literally did not hesitate and sent a new crew back out to redo them. They look awesome! Thanks!First 3 photos is the final product. Last 2, you can see how patchy these were.

We would highly recommend DJ's! Dan was quick to come out to the house for the estimate and had helpful suggestions. Daniel and Lalo were very informative about the process and completed the job on time. The finished rooms look amazing!! Daniel and Lalo were true professionals and we would request them in the future. Thank you for a great experience!

We recently used DJ's to paint the interior of our condominium. We were very pleased with the job that Dan and Lalo completed. They were quick, neat and professional. They walked us through the whole process and best of all, finished on time! We would definitely request them for future jobs.
