"I hired Living Paint to paint the stucco exterior of my home. I was very pleased how the results came out and I was also very pleased as to how they covered my personal belongings so that they would not be damaged. They are an efficient and clean company and I would definitely hire again."

"ALR Painting did such a fantastic job. My home was built in 1908 and the original paint was chipping away and old. Alex was able to match the exact color of the house and went above and beyond my expectations. I was particularly impressed with the care he took in prepping the home prior to painting- scraping, sanding, and caulking. The paint job wasn’t easy. Alex definitely takes pride in his work and he managed to complete the project much faster than I expected. My house looks AMAZING! I could not be happier with my experience and I highly recommend ALR Painting to others."

"This was our second experience with Custom Application Painting. We had worked with them originally in July to repaint the interior of our home. I was so happy with the work they had done for us before, I couldn't wait to work with them again. Like before Custom Applications Painting took the time to understand what we wanted and made helpful suggestions. Because they did work on the inside of the home they were able to compliment the outside with new colors that tied the look of the home together. We have had several compliments from our neighbors on how nice the house looks. We will be working with Custom Applications Painting again!"

"The crew was prompt and courteous. Part of the prep work was to move plants around the house and on the deck. The work went well and finished on time. They power washed,  primed, painted, fascias, wood deck supports, walls and, garage door.

"Guys did a great job as promised.  Took advantage of a $999 special; an additional $300 for extra exterior door painting.  Approximately $1000 in paint necessary but we chose top quality paint in lieu of having Better Choice select paint.  House was power washed and some trim replaced prior to painting.  Some delays due to the high temperatures we experienced that pushed out the job a couple of times.

"Jim is a perfectionist and he is very skillful. He is able to repair small structural damages that other painters might not want to get involved with as part of their jobs. He only wants to use Benjamin Moore paints and this is based on his past experience with this paint brand. He uses their top of the line paint Aura, and he gets good results with it. He also uses some techniques that by his own admission other painters do not routinely practice, such as wet to dry sanding with 300 grade sandpaper between coats of interior surface paint. He works alone because he wants to be "in control of the end product." All of this means that he is slow in the performance of the job. His work hours are unique, so he is hard to work around or accommodate. He started my job the second week of APRIL and he finished it the second week of JUNE.
In his defense, the addition of an endanged bird and her nest of chicks did slow him down prepping and painting the front of the house. She took 4 weeks to fledge her chicks, and he had to work around this act of nature.
So if you need to have a paint job done in a hurry, this is not the painter you want to hire.

FAQs for exterior home or structure paint or stain projects in Challenge, CA

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.
