"The entire process was pleasant - from working with John on the specs/prices, to scheduling/logistics with Allison, to having Darwin and Luis here to complete the work. Every step exceeded my expectations. In particular, I would like to recognize Darwin and Luis for their respectfulness, courteousness, cleanliness, and of course, great work. I work from home, so I was here the majority of the time they were working. I could tell they went out of their way to plan and complete pieces of the project to minimize the impact each day with my kids coming home from school. Any steps requiring stronger chemicals or oil-based primers were always done early-in-the-day to give the house time to air out. A somewhat small gesture, but very much appreciated! They also did a great job keeping dust, over spray etc. to a minimum. I very much intend to work with you again, and I will be requesting Darwin!"

"Cruz Home Painting did an outstanding job painting the entire interior of our home. Jesus came out the same day I contacted him to give me a quote. The price was very fair and the job was completed earlier than our original time line. The house was prepped throughout as not to get any paint on my wood floors, tile, or carpet. The cleanup was even better as I couldn't tell that work was done in the house. This company is very fair with their pricing and the end results are fabulous. Can't go wrong with this company!!!"

"Clee and the crew were fantastic to work with. From the beginning when he came out to do a thorough walk-around of the home explaining what services were available, estimated time frames, and taking notes of the things I wanted to make sure were addressed, to his final visit after the crew was done to make sure we were completely satisfied, it was a great experience. The entire exterior of the home was washed beforehand. Shutters were taken down, cleaned and painted. The wrought iron was wire brushed by hand to remove some light surface rust before being repainted. The exterior door weather stripping was removed before they were painted. Every detail was attended to and the crew was on time, on point every day. It rained a few times in the three weeks it took to get the job done. While I was a bit concerned at first, I realized that they've been doing this a long time and I wouldn't be the first home they were painting and dealing with rain. Needless to say, it all worked out fine. I can't say enough good things about the team and the work they did. We've had a number of people in the neighborhood make very positive remarks about how it turned out. Thanks Clee!"

"Paz painting was excellent. They did a great job with some repairs to rotten fascia boards and then painted our entire two story house. Quality of the job was very good and Paz painting was very professional and easy to work with. Price was also very competitive as compared with two other quotes we got."

"KK Custom Painting had been doing work for us for years. Theyâ  ve handled interior paint and drywall, exterior trim painting and repair and deck painting and stain. The work is always perfect. When the work is done the house is as neat as when they started. I trust them without any hesitation to work on my home."

"I will recommend this company to anyone. They priced the job, spent half a day going over colors with 2 trips to the paint store for samples and were extremely helpful and professional. Started the job and were finished in 4 days. Painted the entire interior of a 2400 sq ft home. The detail was exceptional. We have found NO issues and have referred them to several friends already. Starting a job for our son next week. Give them an opportunity. You will not be disappointed."

"Patched the ceiling and painted my sunroom. Did a very good job and Iâ  d use them again. Cleaned up afterwards and very polite and professional. The girl even took the paint Iâ  d purchased myself to the paint store to be shaken up again which I appreciated."

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

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.
