When it comes to aluminum siding, following the procedure is essential.  The preparation stage is just as important and must be tended to just as thoroughly.  Because aluminum siding can heat up quickly in sunlight, many homeowners opt for a lighter paint colour.  But aesthetically, brighter and darker colours also look great on aluminum siding. 

Generally, most brands will carry an exterior paint that is specifically designed for metal adhesion and holds up against a variety of weather conditions.  Depending on your aluminum siding age and state, the cleaning, repair, and priming steps may vary. 

Painting aluminum windows and siding is more cost-effective than replacing aluminum.  It is a great way to improve your home exterior and to increase its value.  The cost to paint your home is based on how long it will take, how many people are working and how simple the job is. Depending on your budget, you could tackle aluminum siding and windows together or separately.

WHAT FACTORS COULD AFFECT THE PRICE OF ALUMINUM WINDOW AND ALUMINUM SIDING PAINTING?

More than a handful of factors can affect the price for aluminum windows and aluminum siding, so it is paramount that you take note of these so you can get a better deal. Such things include:

• The amount of prep needed ( clutter removal, materials needed, size of the job)

• The urgency of the job; the quicker you want the job done, the more likely it will cost more. Rushing painters means more work at a higher pace, which requires more workers. Try to find middle groun with your hired paint service.

• Timing of the job (Summer has a higher demand for painting services).

• Payment method (stick with cash, cheques or e-transfers instead of credit card as admin fees cost more).

• The more clutter, the more work, which equals a higher price. If you can, try to remove as much clutter yourself safely, as it will end up costing you less

How to prepare aluminum siding for painting?

1. The first step is Power washing.  Remember to wear whatever protective gear is necessary. Power washing your aluminum siding can be done with something like TSP as an etcher, a bleach solution, or a general cleaning agent.  To begin, use a lower setting and practice moving your arm back and forth in a controlled manner.  When you get the hang of it, increase your pressure and make sure to point the nozzle downward so that no water sprays up under the panels.  There may be mildew, mould, bird droppings, bird nests, or honeycombs to get rid of.  In this stage, you may notice some minor repairs needed.  Make a note of these and allow for a couple of days for dry-time. 

2. Next, you want to caulk tiny holes or over any nail heads.  By caulking these imperfections, your paint will have a smoother finish.  Some panels may need further repair or may even need to be replaced. You can use replacement patches to cover larger holes, or you can even cut a part away and attach another. 

3. Once you are satisfied with your repairs, you can tape off any trims, doors, or windows you don’t want to be sprayed while painting.  If you would prefer to skip this step or you simply don’t have the time, you can use a hand-held paint shield as you go. 

4. For many projects, using a sprayer is a time-friendly option. And if your aluminum siding is older, applying a coat of primer will put your mind at ease.  Anything from a metal-etching primer to an oil-based primer may be recommended depending on the aluminum condition.  But there are lots of options for exterior acrylic latex-based paint with built-in primer.  So using a separate one is not always necessary.  If you do decide to prime, it can take two to four hours for dry-time.

5. Before painting, choose a practice section and adjust the nozzle until the paint is spraying evenly with the least amount of streaking.  You want to move your arms back and forth from the same distance to ensure even distribution. And to overlap as you go, from side to side, for the fullest coverage. On average, the house painting process can take anywhere from two to five days if multiple people are working on it.
