"Paul and his team were extremely professional, meticulous, easy to work with, and kind. They arrived early each day, put in long hours, and paid attention to details that even I had not noticed! They went above and beyond to make our house look like a brand new home— from carefully caulking cracks, painting window shutters and the garage and front door columns too. Paul checked in with questions along the way that showed how conscientious he is— from painting an exterior AC unit (an eyesore previously) to the exterior foundational wall color selection and even removing gunk around a basement window— he took his time and the work was thorough and beautiful. We requested that he strip paint from one of the columns holding up our deck to match the other columns and the result is amazing— looks exactly like the others. On top of all this, the team got the job done in great time! Not at all rushed but impressively efficient. I can't recommend Olde English Painting enough. All our neighbors keep saying our house looks so beautiful!"

"Steve and his crew do exceptional work - professional, reliable, conscientious and top quality. It is obvious that they care about the quality of their work and they understand that the key to a good paint job is preparation and attention to detail. Steve's crew worked extremely hard to prepare my home to accept its latest coat of paint, and the results speak for themselves as they produced a nearly flawless job. I have had my house painted 3 or 4 times over the years and Steve's work was by far the best - not even close. You cannot go wrong with these guys."

"US Pro Paint and Renovation led by JR did quality, impressive work in our new bathroom and renovated kitchen. The crew of workers were very skilled in their work and were wonderful to have in our home during the renovation. They worked hard each day from their early arrival time until the end of the day. Each day they left my home vacuumed and cleaned up. The workers were reliable and listened carefully to our ideas and requests. JR was an incredible leader and always available to answer our questions and to help us to make the correct decisions on what would work best for us. JR worked very hard to keep the project moving, he kept us well informed, and he was a good advocate for us when dealing with other contractors. We have had previous projects done by US Pro Paint and Renovation including the painting of the exterior of our home and the renovation of our screened-in porch. Those projects were equally done with quality workmanship and we have had many compliments from neighbors on how well our home looks. US Pro Paint and Renovation is a company I would not hesitate for one minute to recommend for quality work, reliability, a fantastic crew of workers, and peace of mind."

"They were very professional. They showed up when they said they would. The front and back stairs look fantastic. They even painted the sides of the back exterior stairs which wasn’t included in estimate. Would definitely use them again!"

"We were really happy with Arch Painting. They painted the exterior of our house in early November, 2016. They came and gave us a very fair price and once they started the work they were quick and efficient. The crew was a great group of guys who worked very hard and they were finished in a week. We had some areas of rot and as promised, they did some light carpentry to repair those areas and we were very happy with that work. The crew was really great....polite guys who picked up after themselves. We have had others who did work who left the place a mess. Not these guys. We recommend Arch Painting! Our house looks great."

"I have used 4 painting companies over the years including a national well known chain, NONE were ever as good as Costa Painting!! Details, details, details thatâ s what Costa excels at. Their crew were professional, polite and just HARD WORKERS! Nothing was beyond their capabilities. They brought test paints and stains, they left everything spotless and accommodated last minute changes without reservation. Iâ ll give just one example of them going above and beyond, while power washing the house for paint one brick chimney had heavy deposits of tree sap extensively covering it. They power washed the brick, leaned he sap and never mentioned one word and never charged me one Penney and I have many more examples. The job was completed in short time. Highly recommend."

FAQs for exterior home or structure paint or stain projects in Dover, MA

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.
