"Quick response for quote for painting one side of barn and started job the next day. We were not happy with the paint job as there was overspray on concrete, paint on areas that were not being painted and paint on pool table that was stored inside barn. We contacted Curtis and they returned twice to address the problems. I am satisfied with the fix but disappointed that more care wasnt taken initially to protect other exposures. Our barn is red with white trim but the side painted ended up being completely red. My husband met Curtis at Lowe?s to purchase the paint and asked about white paint but Curtis said there wasn?t any white and my husband assumed that meant the existing white trim would remain. We are new to hiring workers for projects at our home so we are chalking this up as a learning experience. My suggestion is that you be very specific about what you want painted including colors, what is included in the quote and how other exposures will be protected"

"We are so pleased with the results that we have already retained Wessel Painting for some exterior work in the Spring.  We also intend to have them do some additional interior work in the future.
All employees demonstrate a strong desire to provide customer satisfaction via superior quality results.  They were very respectful of our home during their work here.  We enjoyed having them help us.
The value proposition from Wessel's is extraordinary.  Great quality at a sensible price.

"These guys were awesome from Day 1! Had a relatively small painting project. Most painting companies were not interested. A couple of them (highly recommended to me by the paint store) quoted me over the phone without seeing the project, And, told me I would have to wait until their "slow" time (several months away) before they could begin the work. . Saumier called and e-mailed me and stayed in touch throughout the duration of the project. They actually came out to my house. Spent a lot of time with me and came up with some great suggestions I ended up incorporating into the job. The actual paint work was meticulous and there was no mess to clean up. I highly recommend these guys. Very nice people--comfortable to work with."

"Very well. This was a big job. Rick was the only contractor we spoke to that could both suitably restore metal surfaces prior to painting them and also offer a warranty on his labor and materials. He even offered to re-stain a three-story wooden partition for us at no extra cost. The project took five weeks to complete (quite a bit longer than originally estimated, delayed due to unusually rainy weather), but Rick was in touch each day to let us know if the forecast allowed for work to be performed. Rick was a pleasure to interact with and seemed genuinely conscientious about his work. Patio structure looks great and we’re thrilled to have it restored for many years to come."

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

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.
