Aluminum Siding Painting Services for Homes in New Jersey
Painting aluminum siding can restore color, cover a weathered finish, and help keep the metal protected when the siding is still suitable for coating. The key is proper cleaning and preparation. Aluminum often develops a chalky residue as the finish ages, and you shouldn't simply apply new paint over it.
You should consider repainting if you want to:
- Update an outdated exterior color
- Refresh faded or chalky siding
- Maintain a protective coating over the aluminum
- Change the look of the home without replacing the siding
Painting can be a cost-effective alternative to replacement, but we first check whether the existing surface is ready to accept a new coating.
Why Does Aluminum Siding Need Extra Preparation?
Aluminum siding needs careful preparation because weathered coatings can chalk, oxidize, peel, or lose adhesion. If those problems stay under fresh paint, the new finish may be sitting on a weak layer. We inspect previously painted siding and address loose or failing areas before painting begins.
Pressure washing removes the chalky residue that commonly forms on older aluminum. Sherwin-Williams also recommends removing chalk and residue from aluminum siding before repainting so the new coating has a cleaner surface to bond to. If paint is peeling or only partly bonded, we scrape the failing areas back and clean the surface before moving forward.
For previously painted siding, we pay close attention to:
- Loose or peeling coatings
- Chalky residue
- Exposed or oxidized aluminum
- Failed areas around trim and joints
- The condition of older paint before a major color change
The amount of preparation depends on what we find on your home.
How We Prepare and Paint Aluminum Siding
Our aluminum siding painting services begin with the surface, not the paint can. We evaluate the existing coating, clean the siding, prepare failing areas, and decide how the new coating should be applied. Wind and nearby property features also matter when spray application is being considered.

Does Paint Color Matter on Aluminum Siding?
Yes, paint color matters on aluminum siding because lighter and darker colors respond differently to sun and heat. Our experience has shown that product selection should also change with the color you choose, especially when you are moving from a light existing finish to a much darker one.
| Color Direction | What We Consider |
|---|---|
| White | Properly applied acrylic coatings can last 15+ years based on our experience |
| Off-white or light gray | Sherwin-Williams Duration Satin or PPG Sunproof Satin may be suitable choices |
| Brighter colors | Benjamin Moore products may be preferred for color retention |
| Dark colors | Added expansion and contraction can place more stress on older coatings |
We typically recommend two coats of 100% acrylic satin finish, with the specific product selected based on the color you choose and the condition of the existing surface.
If you want a dramatic dark-color change, we inspect old coatings closely. Previously painted siding with weak or partly bonded layers may need much more preparation, and complete coating removal may be necessary in some cases.
Before and After Painting Aluminum Siding
You may notice the color first, but a good siding repaint is about more than changing how the house looks. Take a look at the project photos to see how faded or weathered siding can look after repainting, and how a new color can change the feel of the whole exterior.

Painted my entire 6 floors of apartment building and finished on time with clean lines and superior coverage. I usually do my own work so I know the difference. Cleaned up after themselves without a trace of work being done. Fair prices for superior work. Will use them again for a winter project.
Hired DJ’s to come out and paint the exterior of Crown Clothing and could NOT be happier with the results! Dan was extremely professional and knowledgeable, he was able to determine our needs and gave us a reasonable estimate using top of the line products. Mark and his crew did a fantastic job painting and even went so far as to make recommendations that really were an overall improvement from our original plan.
When another company damaged our freshly painted exterior wall, Dan came out immediately. Employees of over 25 years have commented how the building has never looked so good! Highly recommend and will be using them in the future for all of our painting needs!
Power washed an entire 2 floor (very high) 4 Unit Condo building in Wildwood without issues. Building and deck were spotless. Scheduling and billing were also very easy. Highly recommend the service.
Great service & great crew! DJ’s painting has you covered when it comes to parking & painting.
We have used DJs Painting to complete stucco patch and painting at multiple waterfront hotels, and condominiums for us on a regular basis. They do a great job we’ve been using them for years and will continue.
Best in the business. Use them for all our buildings. Highly recommend for any job big or small.
DJ’s painting did an excellent job and we were very pleased with the work they did. They were responsive from the beginning and provided a very competitive quote shortly after making contact. They were on time, professional, and Eddy was great to work with. Would highly recommend.
We had such a great experience with Dan, Brandon, and their team! They showed up on time, worked efficiently, and cleaned up after themselves every day. Communication was awesome — they checked in often, asked for our feedback, and made sure we were happy with everything as they went.
They paid close attention to detail, especially around our main kitchen window, light fixtures, corners, and baseboards. You can tell they really take pride in their work. They were also super patient and kind with our big dog, which meant a lot to us! Dan and Brandon were professional, polite, and easy to talk to. We’re thrilled with how everything turned out and already plan to have them back to paint a few more rooms. Highly recommend!
Lee and his team did an outstanding job painting the interior of my home. He was professional, punctual, and very detail-oriented. The work was clean, the lines were crisp, and everything was left spotless when they finished. I couldn’t be happier and would absolutely recommend Lee to anyone looking for quality work.

Is Painting Aluminum Siding Worth It?
Painting aluminum siding can make sense when the siding is still suitable for coating, and you want to refresh the appearance or maintain its protective finish. The existing coating, amount of chalking, surface damage, and desired color all affect how much preparation is needed before repainting.
