Protect your investment by replacing rotted and worn out wood before the winter months arrive. Rotting wood should be replaced before additional structural damage is caused by water infiltration into the home. At Harbor Paint we employ the best solutions for making repairs and replacements for rotted wood on trim, fascia, rakes, sills and soffits.
Painting AZEK Trim: Yes or No? Here’s What Homeowners Should Know
AZEK trim is one of the best exterior trim products on the market today. It’s durable, moisture-resistant, and unlike wood, it won’t rot, swell, or attract insects. That’s why so many homeowners across Huntington, Dix Hills, Commack, Cold Spring Harbor, and Northport are choosing AZEK for their exterior upgrades.
But one of the biggest questions we get at Harbor Paints is: Should AZEK trim be painted, or left alone?
The short answer: AZEK doesn’t need paint for protection, but painting it can dramatically improve curb appeal and help your home look more custom and high-end. AZEK typically comes in a factory white finish, and while it looks clean, it may not always match your siding, shutters, or exterior color palette. Painting gives you the flexibility to create a fully coordinated look.
That said, AZEK is PVC-based, meaning it has a smooth, non-porous surface. If you paint it the wrong way, the finish can peel or fail early. Proper prep is the key. At Harbor Paints, we always start with a thorough cleaning, light sanding, and the correct bonding primer when needed. From there, we apply premium exterior-grade coatings designed to handle Long Island weather — from summer sun to winter freezing temperatures.
When done properly, painted AZEK trim can look incredible and hold up for years.
