"BEST EXPERIENCE EVER!!! John Alden, his son and his workers are A M A Z I N G!! We purchased our home six years ago. A really cool Stickley Bungalow, that was built in 1910 - a one story, somewhat 'rambling' (several additions, lots of angles), large home. With a lot of inside work to do, we concentrated our efforts - and our money, on this... leaving the exterior for 'another day'. Well, that day finally arrived and I went hunting on Angies List for a good painter. Instead, I found a GREAT PAINTER!! The exterior of our house was stained brown, actually, many differing shades of brown, as the various areas were no doubt done piecemeal over the years, by the original family who built and owned the home. Along with the solid brown stain, came lots and lots and lots of yellow trim. When I originally contacted John and he came by to check out the job and give me an estimate, I asked him to paint areas that needed it only... so, kind of like 3/4 of the house... sides and trim. As almost half faces away from the street and our side yard, I figured that I'd save some $$ by doing it this way. John gave me a very fair price for this original job, back in August, informing me that I'd be his final exterior customer of the season. He checked back often after this, making sure we were still set for the job and letting me know he planned to begin in late September. Unfortunately, Mother Nature had other plans - sending lots and lots of rain - tough painting weather. John persevered, beginning the job as soon as he could and worked like crazy to get it done! As he was nearing that time, and the portions he had completed looked SO GOOD, he offered to do the whole (John will smile if he reads this), 'kit and kaboodle'... for a very reasonable fee. All I can say is WOW! Our one hundred-eight year old house looks gorgeous... absolutely beautiful! So, to recap: John Alden is a great painter. He goes above and beyond... arriving early, staying late... keeping things tidy... no mess, no drips, just perfect. We are 200% satisfied with John's work, his work ethic and his attention to detail. We wish we'd done this sooner ... but are so happy that I found the BEST PAINTER in Southern Vermont, to do the job up right. To anyone looking for a painter, to do exterior - or interior painting - do yourself a favor and have John take a look. Trust me, you'll be glad that you did! Last - he power-washed the house prior to painting, and included a marble patio and stone steps that are located in the back of our house. Both areas now sparkle! I didn't even know it was possible to get both to look SO GOOD! John did this without being asked to do so, he's just that kind of guy! And, at my request, his son hoisted/set up a pair of storm windows for me, with a smile. Nice people. Really, nice people!"

"Pete helped us completely redesign and renovate our outdated hall bath and rebuild master bath shower. During demolition he kept his work area super tidy at all times (no dust and junk through the rest of the house), was always on time and sensitive to working around our home schedule. We did not experience the major inconvenience we were dreading. He upgraded and fixed prior owner's shoddy renovation in master bath (major issues) as well building a super solid foundation for the new walk in shower. He did such a great job that we asked him back in May to renovate our hall bath. He had to fix a LOT of the previous owners "cheap fixes". We threw him a few curveballs during design, (with add ons and material changes) and he handled them easily. This new bathroom is so well built now, it will outlive us all! We have had lots of work done and major renovations over the years, and Pete at Hammer Time is the only one I have taken the time to write a review about. Because my grandma always said if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all."

"I left my name and phone number at Laurie's Certified Construction booth at a home show.   A few weeks later, Laurie phoned and set up an appointment for her daughter, Angel, to come to our home and assess our roof.   She phoned twice, within a few minutes - once to set up the tentative appointment and once to confirm when she had spoken with Angel.    Angel phoned the next day and asked to change the appointment because she had a previous commitment at the time that had been set.   She called well before the appointment time and the new time was not inconvenient so I agreed.   When Angel arrived and had introduced herself, she proceeded to assess our roof.   She was very professional and explained everything clearly.   She gave me a verbal estimate and explained what that covered and told me that Laurie would confirm the next day in writing.   She also told me what the estimate would not cover.   We have an area on the roof that may need new plywood, but she couldn't know for sure until they took the shingles off the roof.  She said that they would not proceed with any unestimated work until it had been discussed with me and I agreed to the work.   Laurie sent a written estimate via email along with information about the shingles and her insurance certificate.   The total amount was the same as Angel had given us, but the amount of the down payment was different.   I asked a few questions via email and received almost immediate replies. <br /> We chose another contractor for two reasons:  1) the estimate from Laurie's Certified Construction was almost $ 2000 more than the highest of three other estimates we received; and 2) I was a bit concerned about the few discrepancies in communication between Laurie and Angel.   If I was going to spend an extra $ 2000, I had to have a lot more confidence that there would be consistency in information provided at the site and that provided from the office."

"The heater they supplied was a good one.  However, they sent an inexperienced repairman to replace the heater.  He slipped and fell through our newly remodeled bathroom.  The company repaired the hole in the wall with the wrong texture and then wrong the  type of grout.  We are going to have ceiling repaired by a company recommended by the my daughter who works for one of the largest builders in the country.  I have cancelled my service with the warrantee company.  I now have to pay an additional $150.00 to have the ceiling refloated and all the wrong grout taken off and replaced with the correct type. <br /> <br /> *In response to service provider response: We hired 1 contractor that they recommended. He came out and said that he did a lot of work for High Tech. He fell through the ceiling that same day. We called High Tech the same day. They wanted my husband to go up in to the ceiling to get a model number. He is 79 years old and could not do that. We then had to contact a different service provider and pay an extra $150.00."

FAQs for exterior home or structure paint or stain projects in Dorset, VT

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.
