"Did a horrible job. David uses low quality wood, screws are missing and unevenly placed, boards are warping badly after 2 months, uses wrong gate hinges and stained wood way too early (1 coat) causing fading and sticky sap. I HIGHLY don?t recommend this dude!!!!"

"First contact with this company was with John Martin. He came to our house and noted all work to be done then gave us an estimate. John was very easy to work with and helped with some ideas I was unsure of. He explained the whole timeline of the job. We were able to have the job started quite promptly, the first day Courtney met us at the house and introduced us to Eder Neito our painter. She also checked the paint colours to make sure we were right. Through the whole process John kept checking back via text. Both he and Courtney also came to the house to check on the work. We’re really happy with the outcome and highly recommend Painter Bros. Eder Neito did a fantastic job and was so neat and tidy, not one paint spot spilled any where. The last painters we had did a terrible job and the paint was peeling off our doors, Eder fixed them all and they look so nice now. "

"Dissatisfied with the results and he used wrong techniques to remove the stain on the door. My wife is very familiar with the steps needed to remove the stains and he did not apply conditioner on the door. Inconsistent results and I need someone else to redo the project. The reason we used Angi was because of our ability to review the process correctly and we do not want any confrontation."

"CertaPro did a fantastic job!! I would absolutely recommend them and re-hire them here for future work. Excellent communication with the project managers and a crew that went above and beyond to make sure everything looked perfect. We have an older home and the siding threw us some curve balls with the paint, but CertaPro was able to troubleshoot and went the extra mile to make sure it all looked great! A pleasure to work with!"

"Extremely professional and high quality work. Beginning with the review of work scope and comprehensive proposal through the execution and wrap up — good communication, documentation and most importantly excellence in quality at every phase of work. Daily work began on time (as allowed by HOA defined work hours) and always finished leaving the work area clean and orderly. It was a pleasure to work with such a pro!"

"Such an amazing job by Feria! We had nearly all of our interior painted as well as popcorn ceiling removal. Four days of prep work before the first can of paint was opened. Wrapped all furniture to protect it prior to work starting. Great attention to detail by the amazing team of workers. They not only did a beautiful job with painting and popcorn ceiling removal, but would clean and vacuum every day before they would leave. Highly recommend them for any job you have! You will not be disappointed! We feel like we have a whole new house!"

"I had called 4 roofing companies and got none of my calls returned. I hired a contractor finally. After waiting 6 months on the contractor I hired who kept putting me off a friend called 1stop for me. They were out at the exact time they said they would be. The estimate was a few 100 dollars more than my previous estimate but after waiting 6 months I didn’t care. One guy came out to do the job which took 2 days. That was the quietest worker and he cleaned up the work area very well even putting a tarp down to collect debris. I would hire this company again. Work was good, cost very reasonable,"

FAQs for exterior home or structure paint or stain projects in Athens, AL

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.
