Isn't It Less Costly Just To Paint My Home?

The answer to that question is probably only “yes” for those who plan to move in the next 3 years.  For those who  plan to stay in their New England home any longer than that, the costs will heavily favor vinyl siding.

To calculate the costs yourself, contact a local painting contractor. Ask for your estimate to include all expenses involved in the painting of your home.

Now, you can plan on writing similar checks to your local painter every 3 - 5 years.

According to professional house painters, assuring the maximum beauty of yor exterior will depend on such a painting frequency. (In actuality, the costs involved in the future will probably be more. Inflation drives up the cost of everything-including the cost of painting your home.)

If for example you have warped clapboards that need to be replaced or lead-based paint that has to be scraped or sanded off, as is common with New England homes - the cost of painting can become truly staggering.

An article in The New York Times reported: "The cost of sanding and repainting over old lead-based paint on a typical four-bedroom, two-story colonial of 3,000 square feet is around $12,000." If lead-based paint must be stripped from the house first, the Times continued, labor and environmental cleanup and disposal could more than double that cost. That was back in 1995. Todays costs are even greater.

After comparing those costs to a one-time investment in new vinyl siding, for most homeowners, the choice is simply:  Vinyl siding is by far the better long-term value.
