"My husband and I reached out to the company to repair some rotten boards we discovered on the exterior of the house. We spoke to David who was extremely responsive and quick to set up our services. The crew came a couple days later right at the time they said, the repairs are great quality, and everyone we interacted with was polite and kind. I wouldnâ t hesitate to hire them for a bigger job in the future!"

"The Corrigan team did an excellent job of painting the house. We have had the house painted twice before, but never saw such extensive prep work as happened this time. In addition, rotten wood was replaced and the shutters, some of which had broken and/or rotted, were refurbished. The house now looks like new. In addition, they repainted the floor of the screened porch and the rear stoop, which we did not expect. Our only caveat is that cleanup was not as anticipated. Joe said they would vacuum up the chips and dust, but the most they did was to blow some of the dust under a bush. Over all, I would certainly recommend them to anyone who wants a thorough and expert job done on their house."

"Kyle and his crews completed the following for our 2,400 sq foot home in September 2020 - Interior paint of all surfaces (walls, trim, ceilings, built ins) Interior wood floor refinishing Garage epoxy and wall paint Exterior paint of all surfaces (siding, trim, etc) Exterior stain of all wood surfaces (deck, treehouse, swing set) We purchased a home in West Hartford when I was 36 weeks pregnant. We had a tight timeline to have a complete cosmetic overhaul of our home prior to moving in. Kyle was extremely attentive and helpful during the quote process. Our closing got moved a few times and Kyle was always accessible to discuss a change in start date and was flexible with us for scheduling. Kyle was extremely helpful with design decisions. He offers lots of expertise regarding colors, etc. he was always available to discuss options and provide samples. Kyleâ s crews completed all of the contracted work in 14 days! It was unbelievable how hard they worked (day and night) to get all of the work completed. It truly transformed our entire home! We would highly recommend the services provided by Kyle and his crews. Some tips for working with this vendor - Make sure to review the scope of the contract with Kyle in detail. There was some miscommunication regarding whether our finished basement space was included in our contract which stipulated all interior surfaces that cropped up on day 9 of the work.. Kyle made this right and his crews painted this room, as well, but it required some discussion. If you are on a tight time table we would recommend checking in on the property regularly and touching base with Kyle on the timeline and being clear on when you need the work to be done. He often reminded us that the work being done would take other contractors 2 months to complete when it seemed we were getting close to our â drop deadâ move in date and the work may not be 100% wrapped. While this reminder was well intentioned we selected this contractor because he indicated the work could be done in 9 to 15 days as contracted. At the end of the day we got in on time and all of the work was completed to our standards."

"When I contacted FreshCoat, I said "I usually just paint myself, but I bought this crazy metallic paint at Target, and it looks like it's complicated to apply. Do you have experience with this type of paint?"  Reassurances all around. The painter, Doug, called me with a litany of "faux finish" jobs he had done that looked great. <br /> <br /> He painted the room with my paint, and after two coats, he packed up, reassuring me that it was going to look great when it dried. Well, after a day or two, it was clearly a disaster. I called Barbara, who came out to look and of course said that the job needed to be fixed. Score 1 star for FreshCoat. <br /> <br /> Barbara (administrator) and Douglas (painter) met and decided that I needed to use paint that he was familiar with. This <br /> seemed totally reasonable, and I figured I should have known better than to buy house paint at Target. So I went to Lowes and purchased the primer, base coat, and metallic that they recommended. <br /> <br /> Douglas came back, forgot to use the primer (he read the paint cans wrong), and finished the job with his recommended paint. Again, he packed up and left with reassurances. The picture that I'm attaching isn't of wet paint, or of one coat when another was planned. This was the finished job, several days later. <br /> <br /> I called poor Barbara to complain again, and again she came out to look at it. I told her that I was not going to pay for the full rate of painting, and we settled on a price for their effort plus several days of work, etc. 800 dollars. <br /> <br /> I am giving a C rather than an F because I appreciated that the owners were apologetic, rather than trying to make it seem like I was crazy or too demanding. Barbara's parting words were "Doug usually does a really good job..."  They didn't offer to send another painter to fix it, and I didn't insist, because at that point it had gone on for over a week and I was tired of having people in the house. <br /> <br /> I ended up getting boring, non-metallic paint and re-painting it myself. It was a total waste of a thousand dollars (when I add the cost of many cans of paint)"

FAQs for exterior home or structure paint or stain projects in Durham, CT

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.
