"Larry and his crew restored the exterior of our half-log sided home by stripping/sanding and then applying 3 coats of exterior stain. Our home is a 6,000 sq ft home and was in need of complete restoration. This was a multiple week project. The quality of CLS' work and attention to detail was outstanding, Larry and his crew treated our home like it was there home and the finished product is a "work of art". Larry and his crew were very conscientious, dedicated and professional. We enjoyed having them with us and are thrilled with the outcome of the project."

"Don and his team did an excellent job painting our home's exterior. They were prompt, polite, and professional. They were thorough and took pride in knowing they had a done a superior job in every facet of our project. In fact, they found some issues we were not aware of and took care of them at no cost to us. They adhered to the estimate they had given us prior to beginning the job and finished on time and on schedule. We are very satisfied with the job they did for us and believe we got great value for the price! Don and his team take pride in a job well done and don't leave until everything is taken care of, including cleaning up after a day's work. I highly recommend them for those seeking a professional, personable, and quality job. Five stars, guys!"

"I was very pleased with all aspects of this job. It was completed in a timely manner, the property was left neat and cleaned up after each day, the paint job was done several years ago, and it has held up perfectly. I would use them again."

"Sam Nichols and his team painted our home as one of their first jobs of the summer. It was a bit of a training excercise, but they corrected anything we asked them to correct and several things we didn't see. It was obvious that doing a good job was a priority. We received positive reviews from multiple realtors on their finished job. Sam was polite, communicative, and was able to meet us where we needed to be on the price. It was a great experience overall."

"I looked them up on the internet and they had high ratings. I'm really glad I hired them. They came out as agreed upon to do an estimate and were very thorough. Some painters I called never did come out to see the job, just gave an estimate over the phone or e-mail based on square footage. In my college days I worked as a house painter for more than one company, and have always done my own interior painting. With building a new home, I knew I wanted it done professionally. I was really impressed with the level of detail and man hours devoted to prep work. All new, primed, solid core doors and trim moldings were thoroughly sanded prior to priming again and then 2 coats of sprayed finish paint. They were very careful about accidents, we didn't have any, and made sure they left the job picked up and tidy every day. Payment draws were requested in a professional manner and the final cost did not exceed the proposal estimate by a penny. In new construction, drywall "nail pops" can show up weeks later after painting and did in a couple of ceilings. We painted our great room in a color that, once we saw it, we hated! All repairs, re-rolled ceilings and even our "boo-boo" color mistake was taken care of with only an extra charge for paint. We are extremely pleased with the final result, and I am picky about paint. I couldn't recommend them more highly. <br />"

FAQs for exterior home or structure paint or stain projects in Elk Rapids, MI

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.
