"I hired Mj to paint my entire house that I was getting ready to place on the market and I have to say they did a fantastic job, the price was also affordable which is why I decided to go with them. I look forward to working with them in the near future for future projects if need be."

"Allen gave me an in person quote for painting in my hallway and a guest room. When he was here he helped me go through all the paint left by the owners to determine if we could use it to save $. He arrived early and completed the work extremely well and very neatly. He went through everything to make sure I was happy. I have already hired him for another job."

"John painted many rooms in our home last year. Excellent job. Still looks great. Thoughtful, courteous young man in dealing with us. Not only was his painting ability top tier but each evening he cleaned up behind himself which made this two week job easier for us to live with each day. I could go on and on but just call him for any painting you need done. You will be happy with the result."

"We couldn't be happier with Phillips Painting Plus. We needed a contractor on short notice for work to be completed before our movers were scheduled. We also needed to keep within budget and Steve came through on all aspects. He responded the same day with a fair bid and was available to start that week. He was friendly, easy to communicate with & very clear on what to expect throughout the project. It was a stressful time after selling our home & moving twice. Steve's great sense of humor helped to lighten our moods & get through the chaos. Steve painted our vaulted walls with ease and his work was proof of many years of experience. He was an organized & clean worker, each day making sure to remove or set aside his tools & equipment. We are very pleased with Steve's work & would highly recommend Phillips Painting Plus for any paint or wallpaper removal projects."

"Bishop painting team was highly skilled at matching and replacing rotten/damaged trimwork on my 120-year old home. Their painting is also meticulous. They color-matched and used the highest quality paint. They cleaned up their worksite (my deck and yard) every evening before going home. I'm highly satisfied and would recommend Mr. Bishop and his team."

"Jon impressed me from the get-go with his quick response to my initial request for a quote on a small painting job. The quote beat the competition - two of them - and he fit us into their schedule within just a couple of days to complete the job. It turned out great. They even did some extra touch-ups that hadn't been included in the initial quote (with their own paint!) at no extra charge. This prompted me to contact him a couple of months later to paint ALL the interior walls of a two story home. Half of them are stucco walls and required multiple coats of paint. Again, I received a reasonable and competitive quote. His energetic and thorough crew dug in within just a couple of days and the whole job was done within a week. Love these guys. Love the beautiful job they do. I'm calling Jon today to get another quote on some exterior painting we need done this spring. He beats the competition on pricing and the job they do is incomparable - absolutely fantastic. Thank you, Jon and the Get Fresh Paint crew! You are incredibly appreciated!"

"Scott came over very soon after I called and gave me a bid the same day by email. I got several estimates and Bodine Painting was similar in cost to the other quality companies I contacted.  Scott tries very hard to be helpful and solve whatever problems you are having, whether it is with painting or other things.  If you have an old home, he has good ideas about how to fix whatever is wrong and usually can do it for you.  He is detailed in his bids.  His crew is easy to have in the house. They are really nice and respectful, keep things as clean as possible, and try to do what you want.  They helped me with window and door hinges, shaving down doors that didn't fit, and cleaning up paint in areas that previous painters had left.  When they cracked a window by accident, they immediately told me and paid to have it fixed.  Several of my Lake Harriet neighbors recommended Bodine Painting to me and I can now recommend them as well. <br />"

"Craftsman helped us with our modern farmhouse remodel (built in '78) by installing 10+ Marvin fiberglass windows & doors (2021) and installing James Hardie board/batten siding, black gutters, soffits, and fascia (2023). As you can see, the result is fantastic. Tom and Jim were the foremen for the window/door, Ray and Luis were the foremen for the siding, Matt for gutters, Erik and Jim for sales. All three crews were respectful, hardworking, communicative, and meticulous with clean-up afterwards. Craftsman Home Improvement stands out from other competitors with their lifetime warranty (any others do this?), loyal in-house crew (not just subs...), communication (Joni, Carolyn), fair pricing (beat competitors), clean-up, and "everything-included" approach (hassle-free). Financing through their Synchrony promo was also a breeze. We still have a few windows that will need to be replaced in the future, so we'll be back. My only wish is that Craftsman Home Improvements would do other exterior services like decks and garage remodels ;) Thank you!"

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