Customers say: Super punctual

"I hired Ambrocio's to paint our barn following a roofing and repair job. They completed in job in 4 days, pressure washing the entire structure, staining the siding and painting all the trim. They did a thorough job, were fairly neat on the job site, and the barn looked brand new after the job. A couple of problem areas were also brought to my attention so I could address them as needed in the future. I would happily hire them again."

"David was responsive, professional, reliable, and delivered high quality work. He spent time talking me through possible solutions and how I can get the most value out of our work together. I hired him to do some repair and paint work for my sister in law. He did such a great job that she hired him to do some more work for her later in the week. I will definitely reach out to David again. Thank you for everything!"

"Double Diamond Painting We canâ t say enough good things about Double Diamond Painting and its owner Brian Schaller. Heâ s been in the painting business for many years training many crews. He now has a truly professional handpicked crew that donâ t have to be told what to do. Iâ m a perfectionist and have always done things myself but at 70 Iâ m no longer able to climb ladders. I interviewed several painting companies. I could tell that Brian would be best for the job of painting the exterior of our home. Itâ s so rare to find people that care about their job and take pride in their work. The whole crew went beyond the call. I watched a neighbor get ripped off as a power washing company did the whole two story house from the ground. Double Diamond did it the right way by power-washing from a ladder so they were not shooting under the clapboards and not doing an inferior job. Preparation is the most important part of a good job. They scraped, sanded, and primed everything that needed special care. In the end it looks like a new home even though weâ ve been here for 40 years. Our heartfelt thanks to Brian and his professional crew. Did I mention Double Diamond was the lowest price of all I interviewed? We would highly recommend them for all your painting needs."

FAQs for exterior home or structure paint or stain projects in Branford, CT

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.
