"Thank you Wow 1-Day Painting employees and management for the excellent job on the interior of my home. The family room, kitchen, hallway, foyer, stairs, and upper landing look beautiful. Working with you was a great experience--and so satisfying that I want to acknowledge it in writing. From start to finish virtually everything went smoothly. When soliciting an estimate, the Wow estimator arrived on time—as did Wow painters every single day of work. Wow’s estimate was reasonable—falling in the middle of four estimates that we solicited from other highly-rated companies. The Wow estimator also made excellent suggestions on the choice of paint color and type. When work started, I watched how the company’s painters prepped walls and baseboards. I saw how carefully they removed wallpaper to avoid damage to walls before priming. Throughout the five days of painting, they paid attention to detail—while being polite and courteous. When my wife and I made suggestions during work, the painters listened to us and positively responded. On completion of the job, they cleaned the work site to our satisfaction. We value consistency in the high quality of this company's work. This is not the first, but the third time, that we have had excellent work performed by Wow Painting. Previous high-quality work done here was a major reason that we again chose Wow. Wow painters worked hard, neatly, and were responsive to my wife and I as we inspected work as it progressed. We want to express our appreciation to the entire crew of painters for their good work. And, we want to cite two wonderful individuals who spent the most time here and who most impressed us with their effort, attentiveness, and quality of work: Manuel and Neptali. We especially want to bring their performance to the company's attention. Certainly, all of the Wow paint crew deserves praise. Likewise, we want to thank too Craig, Laura, and Louis who managed, coordinated, and oversaw day-to-day work. Throughout the entire week, they were prompt to respond to our questions, and satisfied all concerns we had. So now, when my wife and I now look over the work that was performed, we really do say Wow!"

"Mr Mendez has done countless projects in my house including interior painting and limewashing, chandelier and pendant light installation, wood panel building and installation, closet remodeling, exterior painting and deck staining, and more. He and Jose are always professional and timely. They are persistent in getting the job done right and every project they have completed in my house has been done at a high quality level. There is a reason I have gone back to them for numerous projects and recommend them to anyone in need of their own home projects. Highly recommend!"

It looks so nice. Marvin was punctual, professional and a pleasure to do business. I would definitely use him for any project I needed done."

"Highly recommend this vendor. I hired them to paint the exterior of my home, which included a fair amount of rotten wood replacement. Their price was very reasonable and their responsiveness and work was top notch. I will definitely be calling on them again for help. William was easy to work with and his team did a great job on all facets of the job -- power washing, prepping and painting."

FAQs for exterior home or structure paint or stain projects in Fort Washington, MD

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.
