"We had a great experience with this Liedel Power Cleaning and Painting.They completed a large painting project for us earlier in the year and just repaired our exterior fascia, and the workmanship was excellent! They are professional, reliable, and detail-oriented, and the finished result looks great. Communication was clear throughout the process, and the work was completed efficiently. They were truly a blessing to work with, and we would definitely recommend them to anyone needing exterior repairs or painting."

"We have hired Woodbrook Painting several times over the last seven years. Our most recent project was painting our kitchen cabinets, we are delighted with the outcome. Our 25 year old cabinets look like brand new and like they just came in from the factory. Keith, Ryan and the crew were professionals from beginning to end and got the job done on time, within budget and with minimal disruption to our routine. We will be hiring Woodbrook again soon."

"The crew was very professional and very thorough. They did a great job communicating daily expectations and how weather was affecting next steps. In addition to painting the exterior siding on my home, they white washed the bricks on the lower level and chimney. The whole team worked hard to make sure that the white wash looked exactly the way that I wanted it. They weren't satisfied until I was satisfied! They also did a great job of cleaning up at the end of each day, and minimized the impact on my family's day to day activities. I would definitely recommend them!"

"They painted exterior trim and took care to match existing trim and siding. They were very accommodating in taking care of a few little detail items. They replaced some rotten trim that the roofing contractor wanted $1000 to do. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again."

"Tyler did an amazing job repainting our cabinets. We had a dark finish prior, and wanted the cabinets white to brighten up our kitchen. Tyler was quick, efficient, and we ended up with a great finished product. As someone who has seen other projects in Tyler's portfolio, I'd recommend Tyler not only for your interior painting, but exterior as well."

"Chris and his team did an exceptional job on our home! The ceiling lines are crisp and clean, the nail holes in our trim were cleaned and painted. Chris was very understanding with our expectations and very personable and knowledgeable! I am a big "do-it-yourself" kind of person and a perfectionist, so we couldn't have picked a better company to trust our home with! He even showed me a few tips and tricks for repairs or upgrading! From the moment we had our quote completed by Chris, he was professional, did not try to "sell" us, and was honest about the amount of time and supplies that would be needed. Chris was the only painter that did not speak ill about other companies or the quotes that we had already received. The best part? He was the only painted that removed his shoes and respected our brand new home as if it were his own! If you are looking for a painter that you don't have to babysit for a great price, you definitely want to go with ColorSchemes! Thank you again Chris and we will be doing business with you in the future!"

FAQs for exterior home or structure paint or stain projects in Ann Arbor, MI

For aluminum siding, go with a high-quality 100% acrylic exterior paint. Start with an oil-based primer to ensure the finish adheres and shields the metal from oxidation and moisture. The primer seals the surface and provides the acrylic with a surface to grip. Skip latex primers or paints—their reaction with aluminum can trap bubbles and cause early peeling.

How long will painted aluminum siding last?

A well-done paint job on aluminum siding can last around 15 years, making the upfront effort worthwhile. Longevity hinges on solid prep: thoroughly cleaning the surface to remove chalky residue, dirt, and mildew so the new paint can adhere properly. It’s also important to paint when temperatures are between 50°F and 80°F, as extreme heat or cold can affect drying and adhesion. Steer clear of rainy days—moisture under the paint weakens adhesion and speeds up peeling or fading, which can significantly shorten the lifespan of your fresh coat.

Plan on repainting when the finish starts fading or leaves a chalky, white residue on your hand. Check the siding each year; if there’s a powdery residue on your palm, it indicates oxidation is underway on your siding. A fresh coat of paint stops peeling before it starts, boosts curb appeal, and keeps the metal protected.

Spray painting aluminum siding offers significant benefits compared to other application styles. Spray painting delivers even coverage, rapid application, and enhanced adhesion compared to traditional painting methods. This technique ensures every surface is evenly coated, minimizes labor time, and provides a sleek, professional finish that withstands weather and oxidation for lasting results.

The return on investment for aluminum siding is 70%. For example, a $10,000 aluminum siding installation will add $7,000 to your home’s resale value. Regional housing markets, the quality of siding materials, and ongoing upkeep—including repainting and repairs—influence final ROI. Investing in professional installation and regular maintenance ensures you recoup a significant portion of your siding costs when it’s time to sell.

Several materials can replace aluminum siding, each offering unique trade-offs. Vinyl siding requires minimal upkeep and resists fading, lasting up to 30 years. Wood siding provides classic warmth but demands regular painting or sealing. Fiber cement and composite siding offer exceptional durability and design flexibility, requiring minimal maintenance. Brick veneer and stucco create premium, long-lasting exteriors, but they come with higher upfront costs and increased installation complexity.
