Scarborough
Project Overview
Marissa contacted Home Painters Toronto for a complete vinyl siding painting project in Scarborough. The original vinyl siding had faded, and the colour no longer matched her style orthe character of the neighborhood. She wanted a clean, modern finish in a darker, more striking colour.
Because the home is located close to the lake, she also needed a team that understood how to prep properly for the elements and handle the job with care. Home Painters Toronto was hired to bring her vision to life.
Exterior Vinyl Siding Painting
The Challenge
There were a few specific concerns with this project:
- The vinyl siding had lost its visual appeal and was dull from exposure.
- The home’s lakeside location meant dealing with moisture and surface grime.
- The property had a garden and patio area that needed protection during prep and painting.
- The client required a bold colour change that would hold up on vinyl material.
With a short window in the exterior painting season, timing was also key. Home Painters Toronto had to work efficiently without sacrificing quality.
The Result
Home Painters Toronto delivered an outstanding vinyl siding painting result. After thorough surface prep, the team applied two full coats of Hale Navy, giving the house a striking new look. The deep navy colour stood out beautifully in the neighborhood, especially under natural lakefront lighting. The siding looked brand new: smooth, crisp, and clean.
Marissa was thrilled with the transformation. Every detail was handled with care, from surface protection to proper cleanup. This wasn’t just a cosmetic upgrade, it gave her home a refreshed identity.
