Don McLaughlin has been servicing the greater Portland, Maine metropolitan are for 35 years. Interior, Exterior, Construction, Rehab, Historical Preservation, Commercial and Residential we do it all.

"I hired Don to paint the downstairs interior of my new house. I hired him the Sunday before Christmas and he worked right through the holiday week and finished the job on time. His prices were extremely competitive. He also was very clean. I had the flooring contractor coming in after him and he took great care not to splash paint on the floor. He did a great job painting walls, even caulked around the window frames where he felt a draft. My family is very excited to move into our new home. Now we can feel welcomed when we walk in everyday. I plan on hiring him to paint the trim as soon as the funds open up in my budget."

fully insured property maintenance, painting, roofing, landscaping, lawn care, seasonal clean ups, mulching, bush hogging and much more.

"Work was done satisfactorily……workers were good and honest . Owner is a liar and fraudulent . Promises made and not kept . A three week project took 6 months to complete . And the whole scope of the project was never completed……..His cost of materials estimates were doubled and we were deceived throughout . Money added to all materials and labor costs way above the norm . Owner proved to be arrogant and untrustworthy . Unfortunately we trusted him and didn’t check into his dealings until it was too late . He denies any responsibility and has no transparency……..a very poor choice on our part . Don’t make the same mistake we did …….verify all charges and dealings with this man ."

FAQs for exterior home or structure paint or stain projects in Bristol, ME

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.
