Aluminum siding homes require a good cleaner and pressure washing to remove oxidization from the original finish. If this isn’t removed the products will not get a good bond and the paint will be peeling in a few years even getting water behind the paint and ballooning up with water. Temperature is also a major concern if the temperature is going to drop below 50 degrees with 24 hours of painting aluminum siding you can have issues. Aluminum cools down very fast and this is what can cause issues if this occurs before the paint film fully sets up.

Vinyl siding home cannot be painted with any color because certain tints added to paint can cause the plastic to get to hot and warp/melt the plastic.

Wood homes are normally the most costly to paint especially when they are let go and start peeling and flaking off the existing paint. There loose and peeling paint must be removed and then spot primed before top coating with your finish paint. You also need to caulk vertical wood to wood surfaces and horizontal around door and window frames. This keeps the water from getting behind the wood and causing more problems later on. Lap siding, however, is overlapped so water doesn’t get under the edge and behind the siding. It is important to not caulk these areas because the house cannot breathe or let moisture/air out. This will cause the paint to bubble up within a few years if all the lap siding is caulked.

Prep and colors being the main factors, if there is a lot of scrapping, priming, and multiple colors it increases the pricing.
