"Jose is simply THE best painter out there. I have rated him excellent in each category because that’s exactly what he is( if not more) Let me start by saying, I’m a tough client. My husband and I are both Attorneys and we are exceptionally particular about detail and do our due deligence research before taking on any project. I contacted Jose for a consultation in November. He came out, showed up on time and I was immediately struck by how pleasant he was. He took time to do a complete and thorough walk through with me all over the house. I had a lot of questions. He listened! After the first consult, I changed my mind about a few things and reached out to Jose again to come out for a second walk through and a revise quote. Without hesitation he was there. We knew from the outset painting would be our biggest investment in the home, so we had to get it right. Jose met with me a couple of times at Sherwin Williams to help me pick out paint. Jose is patient and he truly cares about his clients. We closed on our home On February 1st ( but planned to move in on February 28th) and Jose was at our house on February 2nd at 6am to start work as he had promised. He spent the next 3 weeks at our house EVERY day from 6am- 6pm! I had to drive past the house every morning on my way to the gym , and every day, without fail, his truck was parked in the driveway Early in the morning. He took one day off during that entire time. His work ethic is second to none. I was floored! When he started painting the main walls, one of the colors that I had chosen, didn’t turn out the way I had expected. Jose had already purchased all the paint and painted a good amount. I walked in, utterly disappointed at the color and Jose , without hesitation said “ don’t worry kiki! I’ll go back and buy the color you want . It’s your house and you have to love it “ no additional labor charge, no additional charge for paint - nothing! He simply repainted all the walls to the new color. Jose is meticulous. He pays attention to detail. He is diligent, he is consistent. He cares about his work and his client’s satisfaction. Jose speaks perfect English, though we communicated in both Spanish and English.Jose finished 1 week ahead of schedule . After he was done, we did a complete walk through and any area I thought needed more coverage, he repainted for me. This has been THE BEST contractor experience I have ever had . I’ll never hire another painter ever! I e found my forever painter! Thank you so much Jose. You completely transformed our home into our dream home. Muchas gracias ?"

"Jose Oiler, owner, kept me informed of the start date, predicated end date of my exterior painting project along with details about the employees scheduled to be onsite. Everyone associated with CertaPro was so nice! Employees finished each day by picking up equipment and cleaning up the yard. My home has a new life with a brighter paint color. I definitely endorse Jose Oiler’s CertaPro business. "

"So happy with the project. Mike and crew did a wonderful job working with me to create a retaining wall to support a driveway as well as designed in ground basketball hoop into the wall. We get a many compliments from the regular walkers in the neighborhood. Mike was responsive and easy to work with. The paving contractor changed the grade of the driveway, and we then had to unexpectedly make changes to the wall. Mike and Great Goats were great in extending the project, continuing to work with me to change and complete the project in a timely and cost effective manner. Would hire again."

"Would NOT recommend these people. I spent $2,400 i got stuck painting the rest of the house myself. Told them to order paint from Menards they got paint from Home Depot. so my house got painted the wrong color. Now stuck with this color. He was taking the wallpaper down in the kitchen. He didn't tell me. Got wallpaper and dust All over clean dishes and food. He didn't even take all the wallpaper off the walls. He painted over it. I can still see wallpaper through the paint. He didn't want to paint the bedroom closet only painted half of it. Skippy on paint should have had 2 layers of paint on walls. He missed a lot of spots in the house. He came back to repaint it. I had to repaint it again. He doesn't return phone calls or text messages."

"For a number of of years we deferred replacing the vinyl siding on our house that was poorly installed and had deteriorated horribly, but after our son and daughter-in-law had their home beautifully redone with Hardiboard siding installed by Craftsmen Home Improvements we knew it was our time. Based on my son’s experience and recommendation, we opted for CHI to install James Hardie siding and soffits and couldn’t be more satisfied with that decision. The work crew (Ray and Luis Nava) were fantastic in all ways; communication, skill and workmanship. They worked tirelessly and efficiently(even in some harsh winter temperatures) and always informed me of issues they encountered with our somewhat “wonky” house 😏 that they addressed with proper solutions. The end result is a stunning transformation of our house that only disappoints us that we didn’t do this sooner! Thank you CHI and especially Ray and his team!"

FAQs for exterior home or structure paint or stain projects in Elk River, MN

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.
