"We want to give the highest recommendation for College Painters, in particular, Caleb Lockwood along with his work crew. We are very satisfied with the service and performance from Caleb and his team while having our house painted in mid June 2023. Caleb managed the project which went smooth and flawlessly because of the professional service he provided. Caleb and his team were prompt in the morning when they started work and continued steadily throughout the day despite the brutal heat. They always cleaned up at the end of each day and they were always very respectful of our home and property. The service College Painters provided was exemplary. We are very pleased with the end result from Caleb Lockwood and his team. Huffman"

"The team did an impressive job on the prep work filling holes, caulking, getting rid of hornet nests that I didn't even know existed, and pointed out an ant problem to me. I was impressed on their thorough preparation which is key for all good paint jobs. My house is 1970 with red wood siding, they took care on one side to add an extra coat because the wood is so dry and they wanted it to look even. Summer is busy and rain can cause delays so it took a little time to get them here, but that is to be expected with outdoor work and I was willing to be flexible with the timeline. The team was courteous and Dennis was very patient and helpful during the color picking phase. My house looks like new and I've had many compliments from neighbors. I would hire them again and recommend their work.

"Neris was excellent. The products he used were quality and he applied them with a lot of attention to detail. They were always friendly, courteous and professional while working around the house. At the end we walked around the house together to make sure I didn't have any questions or concerns and make sure they didn't miss anything. He told us to call or text if we noticed anything moving forward as well. Everyone has been complementing how great our house looks, it's like a whole new house! We are very happy with the result and will use Leon's for anything we need in the future."

"He left without taking the tape off around two mirrors and the two lights. He had both vents (or vent covers) and he did not put them back in. I had to clean paint off the mirror and the vanity tops. It took me a long time to do the cleanup after him. I did not paint because I did not want to go on a ladder, but I ended up having to in order to get the tape off of everything.""

"My clients were preparing their home to sell and the painter they had hired could not do the work. Bishop Painters were recommended to me by several homeowners in St. Paul. I reached out to Bishop Painters and Winsley responded in less than an hour. IWinsley and his team were responsive, detailed, strong communicators and above all so kind! Yes this matters. The finished product looks amazing and the work speaks for itself. When considering a painting project especially an exterior job Bishop Painters needs to be included in the couple of professionals you reach out too. Thanks Bishop Painters! You are appreciated.

FAQs for exterior home or structure paint or stain projects in Cedar, 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.
