"Joe was one of five painters I interviewed for my exterior paint job on my personal residence, a Spanish revival of a home originally built in Rancho Palos Verdes in 1927. Joe was the most knowledgeable about the right paint systems to apply to the exterior of my home and was a a real craftsman that had passion for the project as well. He helped me select the right color scheme and the right paints and finishes for the home. This included a lot of detailed work around the eves, windows and even included a faux finish on the front door to match the existing garage. It dramatically transformed the look and feel of the home. It looks amazing. Joe completed the job on time, on budget and was extremely good to work with. His team included 2-3 guys every day and he was on site to make sure I was happy. His team was great to work with and took care of every detail I could imagine. VERY IMPRESSED and would absolutely recommend and will use again."

"Immediately I knew Jose’s Painting would be the company to not only bring my home back to life, but would protect it to SUSTAIN the impact of future elements, due to the proposal that was written with extensive care as to HOW they were going to get the house back into shape and WHAT they were going to use. My home has not been painted or stuccoed since the early 80's it needed TLC. This FAMILY OWNED company makes you feel like you are part of the family. Jose aka “Pops” had extensive details of how to make the project come together, while his son Jose had the modern perspective of how to keep the project in current times. The foremen, Elvis explained every detail whenever we had questions or requests. Allen, Gochi, and Ozzy showed up everyday with professionalism and care. The whole team is trustworthy and relatable. I will NOT use any other painting/stucco/interior/exterior specialist for any future project. The care and detail the team provided went above and beyond. WORTH every penny! This one is for the WIN!"

"Rick Jamison Painting is a great job painting the exterior of my 2-story, 2,200-square foot home. I requested estimates from a total of 3 painters that were all highly rated on Angi's. Rick Jamison Painting was by far the most responsive to my scope of work. Rick Jamison himself came out twice personally to discuss the details of my project during the bidding process. Jordan was the project manager and estimator and kept me informed throughout the process. Mario was the lead painter and showed great attention to detail and was clearly experienced at his craft. They even fixed my wooden gate as part of the project. They were not the least expensive bidder but I chose them because I felt they knew their stuff, paid attention to the details, and would do a high quality job (which they did)."

"Perez Painting was contracted to resurface and paint our patio structure and wooden features on the front of the house. All interactions went very smooth - from defining and quoting the project, down to timely execution of the 2 day project. As well, they went over and above the contact to paint other small areas that were not included in the original quote. They wanted everything to match. Their team worked very efficiency to get the project done on time. We have more painting projects in the schedule. Perez Painting will be the only call I will make. My wife and I were very happy with the results."

"I needed exterior painting done at my house. I received a quote from 5 different companies. The others told me what they wouldn't do and then their high price. Berger's was the most reasonable. Steve was very patient and informative. He walked me through what the paint project entailed. There was stucco work that needed to be done prior to painting which they took care of fabulously. On a daily basis his guys came out every morning on time, cleaned up before leaving, and were very helpful in answering my questions as well as they were progressing through the project. They even did a few extra things that I had not asked them for in regards to painting. The project took one week to complete. Two days later I noticed there were a few spots that needed touch-up. The guys came back out right away to retouch. I am very pleased with the work they did. I would definitely hire them again and would definitely recommend them to others."

In short, hire this company : ). Robert and Chris came out to quote the job and arrived on time. They provided a detailed quote by email. The email also included all of their license and insurance information which was great.

They focused on the interior portion of our job first. They arrived on time every day at 7:50am at our request. I could tell that they were going to do a good job since they spent a couple of days prepping the interior for painting. The prep work is critical for painting and these guys do not take short cuts on the prep work. The 50 year old bathroom cabinet paint was in bad shape. We decided to keep them since the wood structure was in good shape. The guys did a great job sanding and scraping the old paint off the cabinets and old door jambs. When I came home I was expecting to find a lot of dust due to the prep work but to my surprise there was none! Great job cleaning up. Every day they cleaned up and organized their area before they left which we really appreciated. They also painted an interior hallway that runs most of the length of the house. Since we did not paint the entire interior, it was important to match the old paint that is throughout the rest of the house. We were not expecting a perfect match. They took a small piece of the plaster wall for color matching and the color matched perfectly.

We chose a bright white for the interior trim which required three to four coats of paint. They took the time to do it right by applying thin coats instead of applying thick coats of paint which would have saved them time but it would have looked terrible. Needless to say the interior paint looks great.

When they moved out to the exterior, they arrived at 7:15 to get an early start. Robert helped us match the exterior paint of a house in a nearby neighborhood that we liked. We would have chosen a color that was too dark without his help. They power washed the house, trenched around the foundation of the house, caulking the seams in the siding, patched peeling stucco, patched old wood that could be saved, and spent several days scraping the old exterior paint. I was really glad to see them spend so much time just in the preparation to paint.  The siding on our house required careful masking where it meets the eves and again they took the time to do it right. They of course masked all of the windows, removed door and window screens. They also took down old gutters, light fixtures, unused television cable, and pulled all the old nails that had been added over the years to hang stuff so that they can properly paint underneath all of that stuff.

Once the prep work was done, the painting actually goes on very fast since they can spray the main color on. They did some of the best work on our garage doors. I was thinking we would just have to replace them but they honestly made them look like new which is nice because I don't think we could get doors like these originals that they saved and the design matches the rest of the house. Again we have zero complaints with the exterior paint work. The house looks like new thanks to the diligent preparation.

One thing we would do different is to get Robert involved with the color selection earlier. We stressed over the color of the house and he has a great eye and made us feel confident that we were not doing anything silly. He really is a color expert so take advantage of his advice. He led us to the perfect color for our front door. He showed us three entirely different colors to choose from that would work with our main house color, some we would have never thought of ourselves. We picked one and he was right on the money, it looks great.

Chris ran the job smoothly and Abraham was the lead painter on site. The entire paint crew works hard and we couldn't be more satisfied with all of the work.

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