Our years of experience make Alpha & Omega Contractors the premiere contractors in the Baltimore City / Baltimore / Carroll / Harford Counties and surrounding areas. We specialize in Interior and Exterior Painting, Handyman services, Remodeling projects. Call us today to get your project started. 410-977-6421

"Alpha & Omega Cotractors.has done several jobs for us, one after another when we discovered what great quality of work this company does. We have a 135 yo historical house with lot of irregular, crooked angles on walls, ceilings and floors. The plastering of the ceilings in several rooms needed repair. Fabian installed thin layer of drywall on the ceilings so that we do not need to worry about cracks in near future. This was not an easy job as we had bookcases from floor to ceiling and the drywall plates needed to be modified in several little nooks. After the ceilings and walls in the first two rooms were completed, we decided to continue with further rooms since we had found a reliable team. The price was also very competitive!! The results were great. The color of the walls was perfectly matched. Everything was kept neat and clean. The team even mopped the stairwells so that one could not even guess there had been major work with sanding and painting. At the end one young team member created a little problem. Fabian and his son came over on Sunday and personally corrected the problem. This was superb service excellence! I hope the readers read my review of another, which previously did the same jobs in other two rooms of our house with disastrous results to our historical house. After that the supervisor of that company behaved extremely arrogantly. It was a very different experience with Alpha and Omega. It is clear that accidents may happen, but it makes a huge difference what the response is. Fabian has been extremely professional and helpful. I cannot recommend him highly enough. My other, previous review was about another company, a big one with good ratings. The problems with that company were due to the fact that that a big company subcontracts all kinds of teams - even disastrous ones as in our case (I have photos in my review of paint splashes and terrible scratches on our antique floor and furniture). That is the difference to Alpha & Omega: Fabian is the owner of his company and yet he is present and hands- on when the work is being done. He takes great responsibility of getting perfect results. He is always upbeat and communicates extremely well We have now lined up more work for Fabian. His team actually already installed new flooring in one room on short notice, so that we did not need to move furniture back and forth between painting and floor work. They also painted the ceiling of our very big wraparound porch. Now we have requested his expertise with more outside painting job. You won't go wrong when selecting Alpha and Omega! You get the responsible owner to take charge and do not need to be let down with horrible subcontractors."

Our company is family owned and operated. We offer free estimates. Our prices are rarely beat and our work is of the best quality. We usually have between 4 and 10 employees depending on how busy we are at the time. We have no problem acquiring extra employees if needed for a larger job. We will also take sub-contract work from another company. We do not sub jobs out to other companies, but we will complete jobs for other companies that are looking to sub work out. We ask for one-third of the total price up front so that we know the customer is serious about getting the work done. With this money we will use it to buy necessary materials and supplies to complete the job. If the customer mentions that they found our company on Angie's List there will be a 10% discount applied to the asking price to complete the job.

"Spiro's Painting did a lovely job, and the porch now looks pristine and clean. Moreover, we no longer have to worry about the exposed wood on the posts and soffits as a result of peeling paint. There were a few hiccups with scheduling, but the team was efficient, tidy, and true to their word about the length of the job. I would definitely add our voice to so many others in recommending Spiro's Painting, and we'll certainly reach out to them in the future if we have other painting projects."

Exterior home or structure paint or stains FAQs

Start with a deep clean—most pros use a pressure washer to blast away dust and chalk. Patch cracks with masonry caulk, let them cure, then roll on an acrylic primer. Finish with two coats of high-quality exterior paint using a roller or, better yet, an airless sprayer for even coverage. Skip brushes on broad stucco walls; they’re slow and leave streaks.

Fresh paint seals hairline cracks, boosts UV resistance, and gives curb appeal an instant lift—often a plus when it’s time to sell. The trade-offs? Stucco requires a full cure before painting; the job is labor-intensive, and the wrong coating can trap moisture. Budget accordingly and use paint specifically designed for masonry to avoid peeling later.

When estimating the amount of paint you’ll need for a stucco house, plan on double the paint you’d use for smooth siding. A gallon that covers 400 square feet of flat wall often coats only about 200 square feet of textured stucco, so a 2,000-square-foot exterior may need 10 to 15 gallons.

Painting your stucco wall is a proven alternative to the expense and disruption of re-stuccoing the entire exterior. It refreshes the appearance and protects the surface without the investment of new material. Using high-quality, weather-resistant paint and following correct preparation procedures prevents moisture retention and ensures long-lasting performance. This method offers an efficient means to update your home while maintaining durability.

Rollers work, but an airless sprayer is the gold standard for full exteriors—it gets paint deep into the texture and speeds up the job. Reserve brushes for tight trim only. Whichever tool your exterior painting pro chooses, they’ll keep a wet edge and apply two thin coats for the longest-lasting finish.
