15 Years Later, Is Your Omaha Siding Faded, Chalky and Just Plain Ugly?

Date Modified: April 17, 2025

Often builders (and sometimes homeowners) take the easy route when siding an Omaha home. They choose vinyl siding that’s cheap, maintenance-free, quick to install, and comes in a lot of colors. This decision doesn’t make much of a difference initially. It’s only after a few years that the cheap route starts to show. After 15 years, you’ve ended up with vinyl siding that’s faded, chalky and just plain ugly.

So what’s the appearance-conscious homeowner to do? There are a couple of options. First, you can paint the vinyl. There are latex-based paints available that will coat vinyl if you want to freshen up its appearance and/or change the color. This is somewhat self-defeating, however, since most buyers are drawn to vinyl siding because it doesn’t need to be painted. In addition, many manufacturers will void the siding warranty if it is painted – dark paint colors can cause the siding panels to expand too much and buckle.

The other choice: get the job done right, even if it’s not the first time. Call Waddle Exteriors for an estimate on top-quality vinyl siding from the nation’s best manufacturers, installed by our certified technicians.
