"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 />"

"Color Creations Painting did an excellent job staining our log home. They cared about the logs being properly cleaned and caulked. The staining and top coating with the Perma Chick product was very professional done. They did not have prior experience with this water base stain but adapted quickly to this fast drying stain leaving no marks."

"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."

"The Nonhof team was great to work with. Grant was professional and transparent throughout this process and showed a lot of integrity and delivered on everything he said he would. There was a delay because of his dry wall guy who was doing the ceilings and Grant brought in another guy for a quote, but we ultimately decided to wait for the original man because that is who Grant usually uses and he said he does great work and was also cheaper. Grant and his team went above and beyond and did extra patching to make the walls look really nice. He told us what the extra patching would cost, which we agreed to, but he decided not to charge us as a "thank you" for us being patient with the delay which we appreciated. They even put all the switch plate and outlet covers back on for us which we weren't expecting but was also appreciated. The ceilings and paint look great, and I would definitely hire him again."

"Joel did an excellent job on a very difficult task. The paint was peeling off in large strips from the back hall for unknown reasons. The backdoor paint had bubbles in it (60 year old door). The garage needed quite a bit of scraping. Joel worked quickly and for a very reasonable price to scrape and sand and prepare all these difficult surfaces with primer and to paint them. After a few weeks of very humid weather there were some bubbles reforming on the back door. Joel came back immediately when I called about it and fixed them, no charge. We have employed him before and he always does a good job."

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