"We have never been as pleased with any service that has been performed in our home as we are with LS Custom Painting and Carpentry. They arrived on time as scheduled and provided a free estimate, they immediately scheduled the service. They called to confirm and arrived to do the work right on time. Both men worked diligently, only stopping to talk when I visited with them. The painting is superb and they were done earlier than anticipated. They even caulked in our kitchen because Josh noticed it needed to be done. I wish every person we hired to work in our home was as professional and provided such great quality as this company."

"Michaels Work did a good job.  I started out thinking that the time I paid for in the Angie's Deal would get more done than was possible.  Michael showed me where much of the soffit and fascia had had only one coat of paint and needed to have 2 coats to cover the color that was there and, more importantly, to protect the wood in the future.  Since everything had to be painted twice, progress was not as fast as I had originally anticipated so I agreed to have Michael and 3 men come back the next day to complete all the work work that was originally on my list including all of the house above about 8' off the ground.  I didn't have everything painted due to my budget.
The 3 men he had working for him who were all friendly and willing to do the little extras that always come up during any project.  They did a good job cleaning up afterwards. 
There were a couple of issues though.  There are a number of places where the line between colors isn't as sharp as it could be.  There are also a few areas where some small boards weren't painted at all and a spot where the fascia had only one coat.  None of these issues are big but having told them how particular I was, I'm not really happy with their attention to detail in some places.  The second day work started at about 11:00 and ended about 6:30-7:00.  Michael told me they would be starting later than the previous day so the time frame wasn't a problem but it was difficult to see some of these problems when light was fading or I would have pointed them out.  Michael was also in a hurry to have the men complete everything and leave.
Considering the price I would probably hire them again.  Last spring I had a bid from the "college painters" who wanted over $3,000 to paint the exterior.

FAQs for exterior home or structure paint or stain projects in Alton, IL

Painting vinyl siding is a budget-friendly way to revive curb appeal without paying for new panels. As long as the boards aren’t warped, cracked, or leaking, a coat of high-quality acrylic paint can buy you another five to 10 years before replacement. 

Stick to lighter shades so the siding doesn’t soak up excess heat, and prep the surface well for the paint to bond. If you’re seeing rot or moisture damage, skip the paint and plan for new siding instead.

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.

A paint sprayer is the quickest, most consistent way to coat vinyl siding. The fine mist reaches grooves a roller can miss and lays down an even layer in a fraction of the time. You’ll still need a brush for tight corners, but a sprayer slashes labor hours and reduces lap marks. 

If you’re renting equipment, ask the supplier for a tip size made for exterior acrylics so the paint atomizes correctly and sticks to the siding.

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.
