"Jamie does fantastic work, is meticulous and communicates incredibly well. The house looks great and everything went exactly as planned. I strongly recommend considering Jamie if you have an upcoming painting project, or any project that falls within his wheelhouse. This was the best project experience we have had with anyone helping with our house."
Before
The paint was in pretty rough shape.
The polyurethane has darkened over the years. You can see where pictures were hung.
Quite a bit of scraping on the lower portions of the porch trim.
Fence is in good shape, but heavily greyed by the sun

"All I can say is WOW!!! I have had some poor experiences with other contractors. Either they were unorganized, quoting me incorrect prices or just not sticking to the timeline and delaying work. This was NOT the case with Mike Sandness and his amazing team! From the moment I called for a free estimate to the completion of the project, this experience was phenomenal! As soon as I called, they were able to schedule my free estimate right away. Mike showed up promptly on time. He was kind, knowledgeable and professional. He asked what I was looking for and even itemized the estimate since I was unsure of what work I could or wanted to complete on my own. The estimate was so reasonable in comparison to other estimates I had received. In some cases cheaper! Mike was available and answered all my questions even when I emailed him later in the evening. The team showed up for work on time and were professional and courteous. The work was completed on schedule and I am so impressed! The communication, professionalism, quality and timeliness took away all the stress that comes along with home projects! I will be recommending this team to everyone I know! Thank you so much to Mike and his team!"

"Todd and his crew did an excellent job. Our interior had not been repainted in over 20 years, so there was a great deal of patching and prep needed. We couldn't be happier- they were meticulous, and the house looks new again. We will be using Shelton Painting again in the spring for kitchen cabinet refinishing."

"Revel power-washed our entire house, painted all the exterior trim and garage doors, and stained our deck, all in under two days. All surfaces were scraped and prepped before painting. They even matched the color of our siding when buying paint for the garage doors. Crew members were very friendly and professional. Highly recommended!"

"Hired these guys to paint the exterior of our stucco home, they did a great job and were accommodating to all of our requests. They scraped, caulked, and sealed the cracks in the trim, before painting. They came with a crew of ~5 guys and worked hard for 2 days to complete everything. I would definitely recommend them, they perform high quality work, communicate very well, and were enthusiastic to meet our needs."

FAQs for exterior home or structure paint or stain projects in Apple Valley, MN

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.
