Will vinyl siding fade?

I'm often asked about whether or not vinyl siding will fade on the customers home after it's installed. Well here's the answer... YES IT WILL.

Maybe that isn't the answer you're looking for but unfortunately it's the truth. All vinyl siding colors will fade in time. We currently do not have technology available (at least affordably) that can stop vinyl color pigment in the siding to not fade. We certainly have the technology in place to prevent it though, and that's why you should almost always be selecting high grade, professional quality vinyl siding that will PREVENT fading.

There's a lot of information that I've posted as links throughout my blog that can help you find professional grade siding in your area, as well as contractors that are reputable and able to install them. You definitely don't want to just go picking up whatever vinyl siding is sitting at lowes or home depot on the shelf. In face, most vynal siding sold today is of the lower quality and has a large potential to actually fade on your home.

The reason that fading is actually so common on different homes with vinyl siding installed, is because the homeowner simply didn't know enough about the material.
