"We were referred to Painting Plus from a friend who had a great experience. They just finished painting the interior of our new home, and did a fantastic job. There were on time for the quote, followed up quickly, started up the day after we provided the paint colors, and kept coming back until the job was finished. During the work, they were very careful about covering floors and furniture, and the finished product looked great. We would highly recommend."

"They did a great job painting the exterior of our home and staining our decks. We were very happy with the final result and paid a very fair price. My only complaint would be a lack of communication and with rescheduling when the painters did not show due to weather. That said, they still completed the project quickly and did an excellent job."

"Foothills Painting far exceeded my highest expectations for sprucing up our basement. George and his crew worked their magic turning a dingy space into a pure white ceiling with Alabaster walls and trim. They painted carefully and efficiently all with a keen eye for any places for touch ups. Miles, Rachel, and Ray were team players, each executing their roles in a professional and friendly manner to make our job happen. We will definitely use them again next spring for exterior painting. Thanks Foothills Painting!"

FAQs for exterior home or structure paint or stain projects in Boulder, CO

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.
