"I don't often write reviews but feel compelled to do so now to recommend the great work of Adam's Quality Painting...I live in a 36 unit condo complex and Adam is completing this month long project on time and exceeding expectations...Adam's team has gone beyond expectations in terms of the quality of their work, doing so in a considerate and friendly manner...while the job is primarily exterior, there are a number of enclosed decks which had to be accessed indoors, and the team worked hard to fit varying schedules...if you are considering a painting project, large or small, I would encourage you to consider Adam and get an estimate from him...you'll be very glad you did!"

"Start to finish, excellent service and value delivered. Crew & team were extremely professional, great communicators, always went the extra step to ensure the project was done exactly as it was requested. We moved into a new office space and originally just wanted some touch-ups, they transformed the space into something we didn't think was possible, all while meeting our tight deadlines. Wouldn't look anywhere else for any future commercial or residential work to be done."

"In April / May, 2026, we worked with Missi painting on my Mom's 215 year old Colonial house in Alstead, NH. They gave us a very reasonable estimate to scrape, paint and replace some rotted boards. The crew showed up when they said they would and did a great job, my Mom was super happy with their workmanship, and actually immediately hired them to do some more work on our barn. I live out of state and personally dealt with Fernando, he was super responsive, he sent me texts and emails with the schedule, estimates, work updates, pictures etc. and was on site while the work was being done. The next time we need some painting work done Missi will be the first company I call."

"Excellent company to have any painting and all household repairs done by. They have been doing any and all work in my home for six years. Indoor and outdoor painting and repairs etc. They pay attention to all detail at all times and have excellent suggestions as to the best way to make the repairs. Honest and most reasonable pricing on every job. Efficient and honorable and very time conscious. You will not find another company, that will give you excellent man power and customer service. I have had work done by other companies and there is simply no competition out there to even compare them with. Efficiency and great work ethics has always been part of their priority. C&S paint is by far the best."

"Lighthouse Painting just finished painting our home. The crew did a wonderful job, making sure each phase was done completely before moving on. We changed colors and after the two coats of stain, there are none of the old colors to be seen. Highly recommend them to others. The crew was easy to work with and put in full days on the job."

"The Fresh coat team was great. First step was to view the property and get an estimate and during the estimate I added more items/ requests than I originally planned and the Fresh coat team didn’t flinch. I was able to customize my estimate as I needed too which is nice. They were also super accommodating, I like Benjamin Moore paint and that’s what they used. I added additional requests during the project as they were painting and they did it no questions asked. If I made a special request to have something redone or do it a specific way, they did it. I can not say enough about the team and how they went above and beyond. Every room in my house was painted and it looks like a brand new house (they even did my kitchen cabinets). I will use them in the future and the business owner/manager is excellent to work with."

"After 2 bad experiences with painting jobs over the years, we had given up hope of having a beautiful home exterior. I am so glad we found ECE. They were fantastic. They knew what our house needed -- mainly, a thorough and professional prepping, which we had not gotten before. They took their time to make sure it was done properly, including carpentry to replace old boards. They even worked with the paint store to make sure we got the exact color we wanted. I would recommend them without hesitation."

"Torin Soares, was extremely professional, courteous, knowledgeable and prompt when we went over what needed to be done to achieve the bathroom remodel that we need. Torin explained everything in detail and answered all my questions and concerns. The quality of his work is impressive and spot on to what we asked for. I will definitely hire Torin to do other home repairs or updating and improvement of our home. If I could I would give him a 5 Star++ rating for excellence! Pam Riendeau"

"I have used Northern Ridge to paint the exterior of my house, stain my deck and different parts of the interior on 2 separate occasions. The key difference for Northern Ridge is the attention to the prep work which makes all the difference for a job that will last and look good longer. The team was polite, friendly and always respectful of our needs. They always ended the day with a good clean up so our lives are least affected while the job was in progress."

FAQs for exterior home or structure paint or stain projects in Exeter, NH

For aluminum siding, go with a high-quality 100% acrylic exterior paint. Start with an oil-based primer to ensure the finish adheres and shields the metal from oxidation and moisture. The primer seals the surface and provides the acrylic with a surface to grip. Skip latex primers or paints—their reaction with aluminum can trap bubbles and cause early peeling.

How long will painted aluminum siding last?

A well-done paint job on aluminum siding can last around 15 years, making the upfront effort worthwhile. Longevity hinges on solid prep: thoroughly cleaning the surface to remove chalky residue, dirt, and mildew so the new paint can adhere properly. It’s also important to paint when temperatures are between 50°F and 80°F, as extreme heat or cold can affect drying and adhesion. Steer clear of rainy days—moisture under the paint weakens adhesion and speeds up peeling or fading, which can significantly shorten the lifespan of your fresh coat.

Plan on repainting when the finish starts fading or leaves a chalky, white residue on your hand. Check the siding each year; if there’s a powdery residue on your palm, it indicates oxidation is underway on your siding. A fresh coat of paint stops peeling before it starts, boosts curb appeal, and keeps the metal protected.

Spray painting aluminum siding offers significant benefits compared to other application styles. Spray painting delivers even coverage, rapid application, and enhanced adhesion compared to traditional painting methods. This technique ensures every surface is evenly coated, minimizes labor time, and provides a sleek, professional finish that withstands weather and oxidation for lasting results.

The return on investment for aluminum siding is 70%. For example, a $10,000 aluminum siding installation will add $7,000 to your home’s resale value. Regional housing markets, the quality of siding materials, and ongoing upkeep—including repainting and repairs—influence final ROI. Investing in professional installation and regular maintenance ensures you recoup a significant portion of your siding costs when it’s time to sell.

Several materials can replace aluminum siding, each offering unique trade-offs. Vinyl siding requires minimal upkeep and resists fading, lasting up to 30 years. Wood siding provides classic warmth but demands regular painting or sealing. Fiber cement and composite siding offer exceptional durability and design flexibility, requiring minimal maintenance. Brick veneer and stucco create premium, long-lasting exteriors, but they come with higher upfront costs and increased installation complexity.
