"He repaired the siding and painted the entire exterior of the house and stained the deck in less than 5 days. The house looks beautiful now. He gave me a fair price and finished the work on time as he promised. He works and his crew are very polite and professional. Every day he greeted us when he came and notified us when he left and asked our opinion about the color of the paint very early in the process. He paid attention to details and did extra work without charge (power washed the drive way and fixed one of the handrail boards of the deck). We were very traumatized by the previous contractor who did the deck. But with Alex. We felt so much better. I will definitely recommend him with a big A+."

"Everything went well. The painter did a good job and cleaned up after the job was completed. This last room had wall paper, so he had to steam that off before he could prime the wall and paint. I have used them on 2 occasions and would use them again."

Exterior home or structure paint or stains FAQs

Painting vinyl siding is an effective way to refresh your home's exterior without the expense of replacement. When done correctly, it enhances curb appeal and can extend the life of your siding. It's important to use high-quality acrylic paint formulated for vinyl siding and to choose a lighter color to prevent potential warping from heat absorption.

High-quality acrylic paint is recommended for vinyl siding. Acrylic paint adheres firmly to vinyl surfaces and resists peeling and fading, providing a sleek and long-lasting finish. Ensure the siding is thoroughly cleaned and prepared for optimal results. Your exterior painting pro has the expertise to properly prepare your siding’s surface to ensure proper adhesion.

Priming is not required if the vinyl siding remains in good condition and is properly cleaned. However, if the original color is severely faded or the panels have become porous, priming becomes essential. Priming provides a smooth, even base that improves paint adhesion and enhances durability, ensuring the acrylic finish adheres properly and lasts longer.

Using a paint sprayer is often considered the most effective method to apply paint on vinyl siding. A sprayer delivers an even, consistent coating over large areas, saving time compared to using a brush or roller. This method helps achieve a uniform and durable finish, enhancing the overall appearance of your home’s exterior.

Painted vinyl siding lasts between five and 10 years. The durability depends on the quality of the surface preparation and the local climate conditions. When the siding is thoroughly cleaned and prepped, and high-quality acrylic paint is used, the finish endures longer. In hotter regions, the lifespan may be closer to five years, while cooler climates help extend it.
