"Color Matters has done two large jobs for us over the years, both exterior and interior home painting, and they have been outstanding both times. With Color Matters, you get a fair price with a respectful and courteous crew who use high-quality materials. Their work is meticulous and efficient. We are very happy with the work they’ve done, and will continue to use them in the future. I highly recommend them for your next project."

"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."

"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!"

"Alex and his crew did a wonderful job painting the exterior of the house and performing some much needed carpentry work. Each member of the crew was friendly and very responsive. The work was completed in a timely fashion. I've already recommended Alex and his crew to one of my neighbors."

"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."

"Lighthouse did a great job on our house. They did a full exterior painting job on our single family home in July 2020, and they completed the job within budget and on time. They went above and beyond in several areas, and they were always fast and responsive to questions. Wesley was a great painting crew leader and was friendly and fast. Thanks, guys!"

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

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.
