Aluminum & vinyl siding refinishing in Northeast Ohio.
Faded, chalky siding does not mean new siding. Advanced Painting has been restoring Northeast Ohio siding since 1979 — it is the specialty most painters will not touch.
Tearing off good siding is the expensive answer to a surface problem.
Aluminum siding fades and chalks over the years, but the metal underneath usually stays sound. Refinishing — a full clean, prep and repaint of the siding you already own — restores the color and finish for far less than replacement, and lets you pick a fresh color while you are at it.
The work our name was built on.
Chalky, oxidized aluminum takes real prep before it will hold paint: power washing, removing the chalk layer, priming where the surface calls for it, and finish coats applied so the siding looks factory-fresh instead of painted-over. Cut corners on any of those steps and the finish fails. We don't — which is why we have been doing this work in Northeast Ohio for 47 years.
Vinyl siding refinishing.
Vinyl siding can be refinished too, and it has the same math: repainting faded vinyl costs a fraction of tearing it off. Vinyl needs coatings made for it and colors chosen so the panels will not absorb too much heat and warp. We handle both, and we will tell you up front if your vinyl is a good candidate.
Cedar staining & traditional house painting.
Plenty of Northeast Ohio homes mix siding types — aluminum on one section, cedar on another, wood trim everywhere. We stain cedar siding and handle traditional house painting as core services, so the whole exterior gets done in one job by one crew, with finishes that match.

Siding refinishing FAQs.
Q.What is aluminum siding refinishing?
It is a full clean, prep and repaint of your existing aluminum siding. Old aluminum fades and chalks, but the metal itself usually stays sound — refinishing restores the color and finish without tearing anything off the house.
Q.Is refinishing cheaper than replacing siding?
Almost always, and usually by a wide margin. You keep the siding you already own and pay for cleaning, prep and coatings instead of demolition and new material.
Q.Can vinyl siding be painted too?
Yes. We refinish vinyl siding using coatings made for vinyl, in colors chosen so the panels will not overheat and warp. We will tell you up front whether your vinyl is a good candidate.
Q.How do you prep siding before painting?
Power washing first, then scraping and cleaning off chalk and failing finish, priming where the surface calls for it, and only then the finish coats. Prep is most of the job, and it is the reason a refinish lasts.
Q.How long does refinished siding last?
It depends on the condition of the siding, its exposure and the coatings used. We will tell you honestly what to expect for your house when we look at it — after 47 years of siding work, we do not guess.
Q.Do you also stain cedar siding?
Yes. Cedar siding staining is one of our core services, along with traditional house painting, so mixed-exterior homes get handled in one job.
