Aluminum Siding Painting In Cincinnati, Louisville & Lexington

Pressure washing alone does not fix it. It removes loose dirt, but the chalking is happening within the finish rather than on top of it, so a rinse leaves the same dead color behind. The chalk has to come off completely, or the new coating bonds to loose powder instead of the panel.

Worth knowing about the housing stock: most aluminum-sided homes here went up between the 1950s and the 1970s. That usually means two or three repaints already layered over the original enamel, and often original wood siding underneath it all.

If your aluminum is chalky, faded, or dated-looking, a vinyl re-siding quote is probably already sitting in your inbox. Worth comparing both paths honestly before you decide.

Most aluminum-sided homes we look at are structurally sound. The panels have not failed. The finish has. That is exactly the situation a coating is built for.

Some of these homes have weathered down to bare aluminum in patches, and owners almost always read that as the point of no return. It is closer to the opposite. Bare aluminum, properly primed, is a better substrate to work with than a half-chalked painted one, because there is nothing loose in the way.

Re-siding genuinely is the right call in some cases: panels corroded through, extensive impact damage, or a wall assembly problem behind the siding that needs addressing first. We will tell you plainly at the estimate which situation your home is in. See vinyl siding painting if coating vinyl is more relevant to your project.

Almost every failed aluminum repaint traces back to one of six things.

A typical single-family exterior runs three to five days.

Aluminum siding painting cost comes down to a handful of variables, and it is worth knowing which ones actually move the number.

Square footage and number of stories set the baseline, since a second story adds staging time before anyone opens a can. Oxidation severity is the variable that matters most on this material: a lightly dulled wall and a wall that transfers chalk onto your sleeve are two very different amounts of prep labor, and prep is the largest line on an aluminum job. Dent and panel repair extent adds time. Trim, soffit, and fascia extent, accessibility around decks and tight lot lines, and a significant color change all move the figure.

The number that actually matters is not the quote itself. It is the quote divided across the years it buys. A standard repaint at five to ten year intervals means paying for staging, prep, and labor three or four times inside the window a single ceramic coating application covers, at whatever those costs have risen to by then.

We do not publish figures on this page, because a number without your walls in front of us is a guess. The estimate is free and it comes in writing.
