Quality vinyl siding requires minimal maintenance – just occasional cleaning with a garden hose or pressure washer. Unlike wood siding that needs regular painting and staining, vinyl maintains its color and appearance without additional treatments.
Annual inspection is recommended to check for any loose pieces or damage from severe weather. Look for cracks, warping, or pieces that have pulled away from the house. These issues are rare with proper installation but should be addressed quickly if they occur.
The biggest maintenance advantage of vinyl is what you don’t have to do. No scraping, painting, staining, or sealing. No worry about rot, insect damage, or moisture absorption. This saves thousands of dollars in maintenance costs over the siding’s 30-40 year lifespan.
