"HPO Painting is an exceptional company. Owner and Crew are very knowledgeable, complete Quality work. Having double peaks and two story entrance, Eric and team were able to repair damaged and cracked drywall up so high. Then, painting all these difficult places on the ceiling and walls. What I appreciated the most was that they repaired and painted the Kitchen first, making it useable within the first day. They protected all my hardwood and carpets, cleaned up each day making the home so useable each evening. HPO Painting did a lot of great work, painting and carpentry on the exterior of our home in the Summer, that we couldn’t wait for their work ethic and talent be utilized again on the interior of our home in December. We are so happy with HPO, that we would recommend them to everyone!"

"Had MQ Painting paint the exterior of my house and garage and could not be happier. Did everything the right way! First came and power washed everything a few days before, then on first day of painting removed all old caulk and re-caulked, plus filled any holes. Gave everything 2 coats and on one part that was stain actually gave 3 coats. Original quote did not include foundation, soffit, gutters, front and rear stairs but Jose added those in at a reasonable price, so had those done too. Also painted chimney at no extra charge, On top of all this they completed the job in 2 days. Could tell from first time I had Jose come out to give me a quote he was very knowledgeable and passionate about his business and painting, which I really liked. I would not hesitate to recommend MQ Painting to anybody. I guarantee you will be happy with the quality of work and price you'll receive from MQ Painting."

"Anthony was very responsive. He came over for an estimate within a day or two after my original call. His quote was competitive. He explained pros and cons of various options and accommodated my request to use a specific brand of paint/stain that I had a lot of success with in the past. When I agreed to hire him, he only required a modest deposit. The job was scheduled within a few weeks and I was very pleased with the results. The crew completed the work on time and cleaned up afterwards. Throughout the job, there was good communication with Anthony on the crew's progress."

Customers say: True professional

"I wanted to get my house painted, wood stained and a couple leaks in the ceiling fixed. I reached out on Angi where they recommended MNM. I'm really happy that I decided to go with them. They have really good reviews and I saw some of their pictures on their website. Guillermo was super responsive and they started the project within days. I've lived in this house for 10 years and have done nothing with these walls so they had a lot of work to do. I'm so extremely happy with the outcome. They transformed this house. Guillermo and Sammy were both so kind and professional. If I had anything that I noticed that needed a touch-up Guillermo came back in about a week and fixed everything. Very trustworthy, Great price and extremely professional. They will be my go-to for any painting projects moving forward. Thank you both so much for all your hard work!"

"The salesman arrived on time to give me an estimate on the job. I signed the contract in June and provided them with my color choices. Then it began to rain almost every day. Kathy from CertaPro kept in touch with me as the date was pushed back due to the constant rain. On October 6th the job supervisor Justin called me and asked if they could do the job the next day on October 7th.  On October 7th the crew arrived at 8am as promised.
Justin told me that my color choices were not given to him. However Justin had a color matching device that he used on an unexposed painted area. We did not want to change the color so the color matching was the best way to go. It did a much better job of matching our paint than I could do. In fact, if they had used the colors I had originally chosen the house would have looked terrible. The color matching device really saved me from making a poor color choice.
The crew worked without a break from 8am until completion at 3pm. They were all very courteous and friendly. They cleaned up everything. I never expected such a thorough clean up. The paint job was great! It was a very precise and carefully done paint job.
I am very happy with CertaPro and would call them again.

"Overall, I am happy with the work performed by A&R, and I would hire them again. They were on time, their quote was reasonable, and they were good at communication. The drywall work they did on my bathroom ceiling was excellent. After the first coat of paint, I asked them to clean up a few mud spots, and they corrected the work before the second coat with no problems at all. The worker Alex was very polite and I felt comfortable with him in my home. Their final price was about $50 more than the quote, because they had to do some extra patching, but I thought it was reasonable."

FAQs for exterior home or structure paint or stain projects in Des Plaines, IL

For aluminum siding, go with a high-quality 100% acrylic exterior paint. Start with an oil-based primer to ensure the finish adheres and shields the metal from oxidation and moisture. The primer seals the surface and provides the acrylic with a surface to grip. Skip latex primers or paints—their reaction with aluminum can trap bubbles and cause early peeling.

How long will painted aluminum siding last?

A well-done paint job on aluminum siding can last around 15 years, making the upfront effort worthwhile. Longevity hinges on solid prep: thoroughly cleaning the surface to remove chalky residue, dirt, and mildew so the new paint can adhere properly. It’s also important to paint when temperatures are between 50°F and 80°F, as extreme heat or cold can affect drying and adhesion. Steer clear of rainy days—moisture under the paint weakens adhesion and speeds up peeling or fading, which can significantly shorten the lifespan of your fresh coat.

Plan on repainting when the finish starts fading or leaves a chalky, white residue on your hand. Check the siding each year; if there’s a powdery residue on your palm, it indicates oxidation is underway on your siding. A fresh coat of paint stops peeling before it starts, boosts curb appeal, and keeps the metal protected.

Spray painting aluminum siding offers significant benefits compared to other application styles. Spray painting delivers even coverage, rapid application, and enhanced adhesion compared to traditional painting methods. This technique ensures every surface is evenly coated, minimizes labor time, and provides a sleek, professional finish that withstands weather and oxidation for lasting results.

The return on investment for aluminum siding is 70%. For example, a $10,000 aluminum siding installation will add $7,000 to your home’s resale value. Regional housing markets, the quality of siding materials, and ongoing upkeep—including repainting and repairs—influence final ROI. Investing in professional installation and regular maintenance ensures you recoup a significant portion of your siding costs when it’s time to sell.

Several materials can replace aluminum siding, each offering unique trade-offs. Vinyl siding requires minimal upkeep and resists fading, lasting up to 30 years. Wood siding provides classic warmth but demands regular painting or sealing. Fiber cement and composite siding offer exceptional durability and design flexibility, requiring minimal maintenance. Brick veneer and stucco create premium, long-lasting exteriors, but they come with higher upfront costs and increased installation complexity.
