"We hired Davids Painting to clean and restain our 2 level deck. Each level is 10' X 20" with cedar shake wall along the lower level. They were professional, thorough and kept us informed on the progress of the project. They kept the area clean and neat all the while they were here and were very pleasant to work with. I would give Davids Painting a 5 Star Review and would reccomend them to anyone."

"I recently purchased a new home, and like many older houses, it needed a lot of TLC. Thankfully, I found Brad and Dependable Drywall and Paint. From the moment I met Brad, I knew I was in good hands. He's not just a contractor; he's a genuine, friendly, and incredibly respectful professional who goes above and beyond. Brad's work was truly outstanding. He expertly prepped and painted the entire interior of my house, transforming it from a dated space into a bright and welcoming home. The attention to detail was impeccable, and the finish is flawless. But Brad didn't stop there. He's a true multi-talented individual. He also tackled a range of other essential tasks, including: • Plumbing Repairs: He expertly replaced my kitchen sink and shower head, and efficiently fixed a leak in my downstairs bathroom sink. Problems that would have taken me days to resolve, he handled with speed and professionalism. • Security Upgrades: He changed all the door locks, providing me with peace of mind and enhanced security. What truly sets Brad apart is his personality. He's not only amazing at what he does but also incredibly funny and easy to talk to. He made the entire renovation process enjoyable and stress-free. He kept me informed every step of the way, and his communication was excellent. Brad's work is a testament to his dedication and skill. He treats your home as if it were his own, and his commitment to customer satisfaction is evident in everything he does. If you're looking for a reliable, skilled, and personable contractor, look no further than Brad and Dependable Drywall and Paint. You won't be disappointed. He has earned my highest recommendation. Thank you, Brad, for making my house a home!"

"Friendly.  On-time.  No razzle-dazzle: these guys are straight shooters.  The came back and re-did the texture touch-up on the living room ceiling and a few other little missed spots- and they were happy to make sure I was satisfied.  This is the first time I have ever hired someone to paint and do repair work like this- and it was great!  I highly recommend these guys and will hire them in the future. <br />"

"Scott originally gave a bid on exterior painting of siding, trim, and windows of a 1-1/2 story house and garage. Last year I had 4 painters submit bids and Scott's was the lowest. I got his name from 2 work colleages who were both very pleased with his work. So, I gave him the bid last fall. As these things go, once the job began this spring it expanded to include replacing more cedar siding boards than expected, rebuilding the rotted out pillars supporting a porch roof, and re-doing the color after one side of the house was nearly finished! The entire process-with delays for 21 days of rain--took more than a month. Throughout this process, Scott and Luke and the rest of the Colorstyle team were good natured, open to suggestions / concerns, and provided high-quality workmanship and timeliness. They were always willing to do and quot;one more thingand quot; to improve the appearance of my home. Today I received the final bill and was truly surprised to see how low given the care they have taken with the job. <br /> They even cleaned up some bird-poop on my fence which I thought was paint. OK ... there was a little razzing about my not being able to tell bird poop from paint, but they did it!! They're terrific. <br /> I've already hired them to do some interior painting this summer."

"Ryan did an excellent job cleaning our gutters. On the initial date we had scheduled, he had a sick child at home and he immediately connected with us to find a new date to reschedule the appointment.  Ryan showed up on time and was great to work with. <br>"

"Their price was very reasonable, they handled the entire process in a very professional manner and were quick to answer any questions or concerns I had. I am very fussy about who I hire for projects and don't give excellent reviews unless the company really deserves an excellent review. I highly recommend Craftsmen and will definitely be calling them for other home projects."

"We had our main floor, finished basement and bathrooms painted with the ceilings done as well. They initially estimated the work to take 2 days, but it was clear after the first day it would take longer. The first day, they were rather slow and sloppy: obvious missed spots, some paint on the trim, some on the floor, and they painted over a drywall anchor instead of removing and patching it, etc. When these were pointed out they were fixed, except the trim. The second day, they painted much more carefully, but slowly. The third day they brought in a third guy and the work was completed and the quality was more what I was expecting. There were still some spots to be touched up, but overall it was satisfactory. My biggest annoyance (other than being out of the house for an extra day with two small kids), was the sloppiness. They didn't drape properly when painting the ceilings so there are tiny white speckled on the railing, our stove, some of our furniture, some of my son's toys...its not permanent damage, but I expected better. I feel they did a slightly better job than we could have done and we are not a professional painters. Maybe he had a new assistant the first two days who needed a bit more training...but if we had it to do over, we'd very likely go with someone else."

"We hired JJ Hanson Painting to remove wallpaper from a 2 story wall, as well as patch and paint an entryway, hallway, bathroom and family room. Jeff helped with paint selections, was extremely easy to work with and helpful. Randy and Astara did most of the painting and they were fun, professional and efficient. I have already given their name to friends and will definitely call them for future projects."

"This is the second time we have used Nonhof Painting solutions. The first time Grant Nonhof painted our entire main level and second floor hallway. This time Grant painted our kitchen and hall way ceilings. Grant is very professional and competitively priced. Grant does great work! He gets the job done promptly, leaves no mess when he is done. I would highly recommend Nonhof Painting solutions for your next painting job! <br>"

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

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.
