Exterior Siding Painting in Montreal — Aluminum & Vinyl

Aluminum and Vinyl

Siding Painting Montreal

Our Process: From Preparation to Professional Finish

Step 1 — Inspection & Degreasing

Before any application, we inspect the entire surface to identify cracked, warped, or loose panels that require prior repair. We then perform a complete degreasing to remove wax residues, oils, and airborne pollutants — a critical step for ensuring optimal paint adhesion.

Step 2 — Pressure Washing

A thorough pressure wash is applied to the entire surface to remove dirt, mold, algae, and old paint residue. The siding is then rinsed thoroughly and left to dry completely — never less than 24 to 48 hours depending on weather conditions.

Step 3 — Primer Application

Depending on the surface condition and material type, we apply a professional-grade bonding primer. This primer ensures adhesion between the substrate (aluminum or vinyl) and the topcoat, maximizing the longevity of the work.

Step 4 — Brush & Roller Application

This is where our craftsmanship truly shines. Applying paint by brush and professional roller gives us precise control over every area, allowing us to work deep into the grooves and channels of the siding for complete, even coverage.

Elastomeric Paint: The Ideal Solution for Quebec’s Climate

For aluminum and vinyl siding, we recommend and use elastomeric paints specifically formulated for northern markets. These products offer several key advantages for Quebec’s climate:

• Exceptional flexibility — adapts to panel expansion and contraction during freeze-thaw cycles
• Superior UV resistance — pigments remain stable even after intense summers
• Complete waterproofing — protects the underlying material against moisture infiltration
• Extended lifespan — 10 to 15 years with minimal maintenance
• Wide color palette — including dark tones that remain stable over time

Can You Paint Vinyl Siding in a Dark Color?

It’s one of the questions we’re asked most often. The answer is yes — as long as you use the right products. Vinyl can slightly warp under heat if a very dark color is applied that absorbs too much solar energy. At Peintres Prestige, we select Low Heat Build formulations that allow the use of colors like charcoal grey, navy blue, or forest green without any risk of warping. We advise you on the best options based on your home’s orientation and sun exposure.

Soffits, Fascia & Trim: The Finishing Touch That Makes the Difference

A professional siding paint job doesn’t stop at the main panels. Soffits (the underside of roof overhangs), fascia boards, corners, and trim around windows and doors are all part of the final result. Our team pays special attention to these often-overlooked elements. We use precise brush cut-ins at all junctions and carefully mask glass, light fixtures, and hardware.

Siding Painting or Replacment? The Math Is Simple

A full siding replacement is a major investment: expect to pay between $15,000 and $40,000 for an average single-family home, not counting construction delays and the disruption that comes with it. A professional-quality paint job costs 60 to 80% less — for a result that’s just as striking visually. Provided, of course, that the work is done correctly. That’s where the expertise of Peintres Prestige makes all the difference.
