"They do alot of prepping, removed wallpaper and borders. Took time to tape and layout plastic to protect our stuff from dust and paint. They clean up at the end of each day. This is the second home we have had them do for us. Top notch in what they do. We had a gentleman named Henry who is someone who listens to our suggestions and responds favorably to us each and every time we had a concern or question. We will happily recommend them to others."

"Jared was professional, courteous, quick and a great painter. I was very pleased with the job he did and would use him again and recommend him highly. His price was very reasonable also. The icing on the cake was that he went to Crosslake for the painting job! Very pleased!"

"Mike was easy to work with. When I first contacted him he got back to me right away and even came for a bid on the weekend. Due to a family medical issue we didn't end up doing the work until 9 months later. When I reached back out to him to schedule the job, he honored the same bid and scheduled the work without too much wait time. He showed up on time and did all the work requested. There are a few minor spots where the painter who was trimming touched the ceiling but it not very noticeable. They did things like remove the banister and outlet covers, painted and put them back on. He also gets the paint and takes care of that so all you need to do is pick out the colors. I would use him again. The only work I did was to remove the pictures from the wall. He also patched up the nail holes. I thought the price was very fair especially since I have a tall ceiling, and also since doing a kitchen paint job is a pain, painting around and under cabinets. (which is why we hired it out!) Nice job and finished in one day, two guys working. It was outstanding to me to leave for work and return home to the work done and cleaned up. Well worth the investment. My house looks very nice. He is also easy to work with via email. I liked that. Didn't have to wait and play phone tag, after the initial bid we communicated via email and it worked well.

"This was an Angie's List deal. It went well, fairly straight forward.  We needed to provide our own help for lifting.  I thought there was going to be two people, but we had just Don.  The guy we talked to on the phone said they would send two, but for some reason that did not work out.  Luckily we had an extra person home from our household to help or else we would have had to reschedule for another day.  I would hire Don again for simple jobs that need a level of expertise and help a little beyond my own.

"If you are looking for painters for interior or exterior work, I heartily recommend T M painting. We hired them to do the entire exterior & interior of our house and garage and some interior touch-up and repair as well.  They did a wonderful, caring, craftsman-caliber job on everything they worked on.

To give some details:  

They took over two weeks to prep our two story house, which is wood siding on the first floor  and garage, and stucco on the second.  For the wood portion, every single joint (overlap) between pieces of siding, on the entire house and garage, was caulked. Every single joint.  Amazing. 

When prepping our very unusually textured stucco, some of it needed repair, which they did.  When completed, it is not even evident where the repair was.

Our neighbors were impressed with the prep--one said that he had never seen such a thorough prep job in his life.  I agree.

When choosing paint colors, I was hesitant to make such a long range decision without multiple color samples.  Tenzin would have his patient crew paint one sample after another to make sure that I was comfortable with my choices.  And even after finally choosing colors, I asked them to paint an entire side of the house completely--all accent and trim colors as well--so that I could really see what it would look like.  All this was done pleasantly and reassuringly, even though it was out of their normal painting sequence.   I was never left feeling uncomfortable with the process, or like I was asking too much.

The crew was incredible.  They cleaned up after themselves every day, and they did a remarkable job on the painting itself.  Everything was done in a considered manner, no rushing or frustration with the time it was taking to do things right.  They themselves were obviously very proud of their workmanship and a job well done.

I had another neighbor come over to admire the finished product.  He said that he had looked at the job and not seen a single mistake.

In the end, Tenzin' crew did painting, plus some mortar, stucco, sheetrock, and plaster repair, and even some construction work like adding bathroom tub, shower door & tiles. 

I found Tenzin by asking around my friends & Family -he came highly recommended, and I was able to see some of his finished jobs before hiring him.  My husband and I can now happily add our voices to the growing list of satisfied clients.  I am delighted with the way our house turned out, and even delighted with the surprisingly stress-free process itself.  If you are planning a paint job, give Tenzin a call

FAQs for exterior home or structure paint or stain projects in Buffalo, MN

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.
