How often a home's exterior needs to be repainted depends on the location, the climate, the exposure and the materials. The advantage of vinyl siding is that is doesn't require repainting. However, tastes change and sometimes homeowners want a new look. In this case, the vinyl can be painted, provided that it is prepared properly and the right kind of paint is used. Once painted, it will have to be repainted every 3-7 years, depending on conditions. http://www.diyornot.com/Sample/Project.asp?ndx1=1&ndx2=11&ndx3=0&Rcd=310

Would you recommend vinyl siding in a place where there is much snow - such as Mt. Crested Butte Colorado?
I was a carpenter in crested butte for about 3 years and that includes the winter of 2007/2008 when we broke the snowfall record for the area. Vinyl siding works fine as long as there are not going to be heavy snow loads against it. Think about snow sliding off of your roof and drifting snow. I would recommend using vinyl siding for second floor siding or where it will be protected from heavy snow loads.
