"I needed drywall repair for 3 cellar walls, part of cellar ceiling, and part of walls in garage. I had been in touch with Sandro multiple times to talk through the project and to coordinate the work. He was very professional and very responsive. The workers came in two phases: drywall first, then painting second. They were very punctual and ready to work. The drywall was done in one day (which seemed great) until I realized as they were leaving that the drywall to be installed in the garage was not done. So... the drywall folks had to actually come back for a second day. The painting came next and that was fine but with a few hiccups: a color chip was sampled to determine the paint color to be used. This paint color was used for trim and the walls. Since only part of the room was being painted there ended up being a slight color difference between old wall to newly painted wall. The other minor hiccup was when the painters left for the day without letting us know they were done. We were home the whole time, so not sure why they did not call or contact us we could review their work. The other minor thing was a week or so later I noticed a small pile of drywall fragments at the edge of my property in the woods. Looks like the remnants of the drywall project ended up there."

"Paul and his team (Joe and Bruno) painted the exterior of my home, fixed some plastering issues inside the house, rebuilt a significant portion of my porch and also painted inside the home. I can’t recommend them highly enough. I did a ton of research and Paul was fairly priced as not the most expensive but not cheapest. You certainly pay for what you get in this type of work. Paul was professional and earnestly followed up even through the process to win my business. He was on site for the entire job that lasted over a week. Without us asking, they even added crown molding to my porch and fixed issues without asking for extra (I tipped these guys after the work as it was the right thing to do for the quality of work and extra work they performed). The woodwork by Bruno was exceptional as he had to rebuild many areas of wood rot on the porch. Joe is great at plastering and fixed some issues in my home at a reasonable cost before repairing them. They were here early and stayed late, the house came out amazing, and cleaned the site each day. All of them are also great people that have worked together for many years. We miss having these guys around after the project ended. Thanks so much."

"It was a real pleasure to work with everyone at Target. The painters and carpenters were kind, skillful, and meticulous in their work. It was actually a joy to have them working on the house each day. The office staff were consistently helpful and prompt in addressing all questions that came up. And all appointments for estimates, paint choices, or walk-throughs happened exactly at the times planned. I appreciated so much the clear communication throughout each step of the process, as well as the reliability and punctuality of everyone I worked with. Both the garage interior and the work on the home's exterior were completed on time, and with real care and attention to detail. I am extremely happy with the results. I am glad and grateful I chose Target for this project and can highly recommend them. I'll miss having them working here!"

"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 Painting just finished painting our home. The crew did a wonderful job, making sure each phase was done completely before moving on. We changed colors and after the two coats of stain, there are none of the old colors to be seen. Highly recommend them to others. The crew was easy to work with and put in full days on the job."

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.
