"Omar and his team were excellent. They were very transparent about the work that needed to be done and broke down how much it would cost. He was really easy to communicate with and they took their time to do an excellent job. Our exterior hadn't been repaired or painted in over 20 years and we're very happy with the results! I would highly recommend Indigo Painting!"

"Colorblast Painting is awesome,from start to finish,great customer service,I love that it is a family owned company as well.We had our house repainted and some wood rot repaired.Everything done as expected and as listed in proposal.Nathan and Amanda are so nice,I was hoping to have Nathan himself to paint but he was on another job, that's ok,all went well.I would recommend them to anyone and I have already had 3 people stop by and comment on the house saying it looks like a new house,if we have anymore painting needed,we will be calling them back.Oh,and they happen to be the cheapest out of the 3 estimates we got,which is a plus as well."

"Mike was very prompt in giving me a bid, and his bid was better than four others I received. They did a very thorough job, and the quality was excellent. They were very careful with moving my furniture and putting things back in their original spot. The house interior is lovely and I'm so glad I went with Mike and Lamorinda Painting!"

"Flex Painting went above and beyond on our rental home’s exterior painting project. They initially provided a fair and reasonable estimate, but as the project progressed, they identified dry rot, a broken window and sash, rotting stairs, and other structural issues. Instead of just painting over the problems, they handled the necessary repairs, replaced gutters, and even added gutter screens and downspouts—all while maintaining fluid communication with regular updates and photos. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to quality work were outstanding. We truly appreciate their honesty, expertise, and willingness to go the extra mile. Highly recommend Flex Painting for anyone looking for a reliable and skilled team!"
Before pictures
(Before Pic)Home was pressure washed with a 3000 psi machine to remove as much dirt and grime from the exterior house wall surfaces before painting. We sanded all the bad areas and spot primed them before painting. Used caulking to seal any open grooves and open wood joints as needed.
(Before l) This photo shows the condition of the cabinet before it was refinished. You can see the stain is faded and clear coat is chipping away from water damage and moisture in the air.
Exterior Repaint
Prepped the door for painting. Sanded it then primed it. Removed the door handle and carefully covered the hinges before spray painting the door.

"Very responsive, great work and they got the work done on time. Used Urbina's Painting for full interior and exterior painting project and they were able to come in with the right number of people to do the job. Very professional and clean work - properly covered everything to protect furniture and flooring. They also did a great job preparing - filling holes, dents, fixing drywall issues etc. We were very happy with the final result."

"While they are a little on the pricier end of things, I have to say that I am more than pleased with the power wash, bleach and preserve that the crew did on fence and pergola. When they were done it was like they were brand new! Highly recommended!"

FAQs for exterior home or structure paint or stain projects in Berkeley, CA

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.
