Family owned business with over 20 years of business - Painting - Interior - Exterior - residential and commercial.

"When Edward came out to stain my deck, I was under the impression that he knew what he was doing. I don't think he has EVER stained a deck in his life. I had to go to Menards several times because he used 4 cans of stain!! $40 a can, which is insane. He sprayed my deck with a wand that you would use in a self-serve car wash. There were major drips on the railing, all over the rails, and on the steps. He sprayed my car and it covered the whole car. I took my car to Ziebart to have them remove all the stain on my car, and it had already started to eat the paint, and it cost me $1,044.99, I have the receipt. He sprayed my young Chinese Maglonia tree that I just planted and hope it will survive. The initial pay was going to be $1000, but after I saw what he did, he left with $300, and I think that was generous. He was upset about that and acted like it was my fault or just didn't care the job he did. It is going to take me hundreds of dollars to repair what he did."

"Transformational results! I expected painting the inside of my house to make a difference but not to this degree. The back door, and parts of the trim I thought were gonna need to be replaced were transformed to look like new! The whole result has made my home look practically brand new inside! Customer service was top notch. Steve was available every time I called, and fun to talk to. The painters were polite and accommodating when I had to walk by them with the dog. Anytime I need painting done they will be my first choice. My highest recommendation! "

FAQs for exterior home or structure paint or stain projects in Carmel, IN

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.
