"Ryan and team excellent to partner with. He came out next day, gave free estimate. Gave competitive bid with exterior damage option as well as paint options. Terms fair, 30 percent down when started. His team started inside a week. The quality of their work was fantastic. The prep and caulking work was done without any shortcuts. Painting quality excellent. I chose them due to 5 star rating and they were local. His business lived up to their 5 star rating. Would highly recommend."

"Here's the latest on Foothills Painting. My wife and I have scheduled this company for the exterior painting of our home in early 2019. No actual services have been performed as yet, except for the most excellent customer service provided by Christy Anna and Sydney. These two women were most professional and attentive for arranging both an assessment of our painting needs and an estimate for the work to be done. In an nutshell, Foothills Painting has started off on the right foot without stroking a brush! ~JD & DK Louisville, CO"

"Lee is amazing! Communication is on top, and keeps his word. Pricing is affordable and quality of work is fantastic. Lee works quick and efficient! He supplied the paint, equipment, everything for this project. Made it super easy on my behalf! I would absolutely use him again! A before and after picture. The garage wall was blue when I bought the house and I asked for black. Knowing black can be seen on anything, the line work is perfect! I’m a perfectionist and am very happy with this work. He also paint matched the front door to the garage wall! When he was done, he cleaned up after himself, would have never known he was here, no messes at all!"
After taping off areas for over spray protection, the siding was stained with a spray rig for efficiency and good seal coverage. The deck will match at a later date.
This is the finished 2 coat stain sealer. Day 2 after 24hr dry . Beautiful warm colors for even late fall after the leaves will have dropped.
Siding first coat of stain and some trim vent repair.

"Our home with southern sun exposure was in need of quality exterior paint. Suggestions were made for our harsh climate, and a color consult helped us feel confident with a more modern color palette. Detailed photos documenting the needed exterior repairs ensured nothing was missed. The work was completed with efficiency and thoroughness. The final walk-through was done by the owner, though there was very little fine tuning that needed to be done. The crews were tidy, pleasant, and highly skilled. We couldn't have asked for a better experience."

"We hired Tony to paint the interior of our newly purchased house before we moved in. The job included the living / dining area, kitchen, bathroom, hallway, and three bedrooms including closets. We were staying over an hour away, so most days Tony let himself in and worked independently. Tony was fantastic to work with. Great at communication, trustworthy, Covid-safe, and upfront about costs including a detailed estimate that he stuck to. And the house looks beautiful!!! We were thrilled with the flawless results, and it was worth every penny to be able to move right into the freshly painted house and get settled. I look forward to having Tony back to paint the exterior of our house, and I would recommend him to anyone in need of painting services."

FAQs for exterior home or structure paint or stain projects in Fort Collins, CO

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.
