HOW TO TACKLE CHALKING PAINT ON YOUR HOUSE: A lot of homes with siding may begin to see a film of white and dusty residue appear on their surfaces after some years of exposure to the elements. This is common on clapboards and also stucco, where you can really notice the white chalking on the tudor boards! UV inhibitors are a component of the paint on this siding. This element will break down overtime and this is where you will see the chalky residue on the surface. Not only w...ill you see a residue, but the original colour of the siding may also start to fade because that component in the paint that protects it from the sun is deteriorating. That is why every so often you should wash and repaint your siding to restore its color and protection from UV light. What I like to do with my team in order to solve this problem is start with a TSP wash. This is a tri-sodium phosphate cleanser that will rid your siding of any chalk and dirt but will not deteriorate your actual siding. We scrub this product on the entire surface of siding and wash it off with a hose. Once the surface is dry we assess its condition; looking for areas where the paint has completely deteriorated. In these cases we apply a primer. After that we apply two coats of exterior paint and your siding will look fully restored and refreshed. Although, this is not so simple for Vinyl siding. One thing many people do not know is that the plastic is chemically made in conjunction with the factory paint. For instance if your siding was made with a light grey paint, it must be repainted the same or lighter colour. The product was made with a limit on the amount of heat it can absorb. If painted any darker, the siding will absorb more heat than it can handle causing it to warp. This is not the case for metal or aluminum siding. However, taking this precaution before painting your vinyl is very important.
