"Mark Mathis, the owner, and his crew run by Bob are "hands down" the best painters on the northside of Indpls. I've had a lot of painting done over the last 20 yrs, and I've never encountered a painting team w/more integrity, comprehensive eye for detail, and a "can do" attitude.
Their price is fair, Mark understood the nature and time frame for our project, and even though he's in the busiest time of the year for him, he was able to fit his crew in to our timeframe.
I will never utilize another painter again, I highly recommend others giving Custom Colors Painting Co., their projects !!

"My husband and I hired ONit Painting to paint the entire inside of our home and ceiling. From the estimate to the final walk through ONit Painting staff were very professional and made our painting project stress free. They handled all the details, recommended a perfect color for our home, and everything went smoothly. ONit was prompt and courteous, and their quality of work is top notch. Our job took 2 days and went along just as scheduled. The crew showed up on time, worked hard, and then cleaned up at the end of the day - allowing us to go about our normal routine. This company knows what they are doing and we couldn’t be any happier with the outcome of our project. We would strongly recommend ONit Painting and plan to use them for any future painting need we have."

"F.I.S.H. is phenomenal!!! Their work was fantastic, but let me start with what separates them...customer service! In an era where calls are not returned and people don't show up for service appointments, FISH was stellar in proactive communication and working with me on a critical need, even though their schedule was full. They fit me in, talked me through all the work, showed me how I can do some of this in the future my self, if needed, and are awesome people. They treated my home and family with respect and it was a great two day partnership. I am so blessed to have found this business and be able to share so others find them as the right painting and drywall company. I look forward to more work with them in the future of painting the exterior and basement ceiling finishing. THANK YOU again!"

"Yovani and his team did a fantastic job. He painted the entire 1st and 2nd floor of our home in 4 days while we were away. Everything looks so great. Painting very professional. All rooms back in place including wall hangings before we returned. I highly recommend this team. They also painted and sealed our 83 year old brick home earlier in the summer."

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.
