"Eric is the owner of EJ painting. He is honest and hardworking. His prices are the best and his work always out shines the more expensive competitors. Eric works in my house when I am work and he leaves my house as clean as when he started. He has painted and done sheet rock in the majority of my home. He also power washed my garage floor! He’s extremely versatile and aims to please. I have never once been disappointed in his work. I will be hiring him again to do my bathroom next. A+"

"We purchased a home and needed a large amount painting to be done. Bobby was professional through the entire process. He was there when he said he would be, paid attention to detail and left everything clean. He did a great job and was fairly priced. I would highly recommend him and definitely use him for all of our painting needs."

"On the Job Painting exceeded our expectations. They just completed an exterior paint job of our shingles and trim. The crew was prompt, clean, courteous and meticulous with their work. Keith checked in regularly to insure we were being taken care of. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a painting contractor, and I will contact them again if we decide to do any interior painting work in the future. You may get quotes from other companies that come in lower, but do not be fooled. On the Job Painting performs at a higher quality than the average company. For this type of investment we are happy we chose them over other bids."

"Greivin and his team were fantastic!! They redid my basement after mold/water remediation and their work was excellent!! I received 4 bids and his was competitive, what differentiated JNA was the fact they were going to do the whole job, not just the wall or floor, they bid to do everything. They showed up on time, were clean and went above and beyond. HIGHLY recommended!"

"I had been working on finding the right contractor and company to build our back porch for months after working with two contractors that were total disappointment. I found Tito and Sons on home advisor. Tito and his crew were able to establish the permit in three weeks - we waited on this same permit application for almost 9 months with another company without the result we wanted Tito kept me updated, informed, and every step of the project he let me know what was going on in my backyard His crew could not have been nicer or more hard working. I swear they were out there In 100 degree heat. The back porch that they completed surpassed all of our expectations and more. I had so many questions all the time and Tito was patient, explanatory, and courteous We now have the back porch we have been hoping for and can enjoy the rest of summer and all of the seasons to come in this house thanks to them! Call Tito and sons of you want to get the job completed, On time, with the right price, friendly people, and quality work. We will use them again. Above all the genuine disposition and willingness to satisfy the client is unparalleled here. Celeste Shaughnessy Westfield"

"I recently had my roof replaced by A1 Gutters and Roofing, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Danny, from the beginning, was incredibly professional, transparent, and honest about the entire process. He provided a detailed quote for the new shingles and gutters, and I felt confident in his expertise. When the crew began the project, they discovered some underlying issues with the plywood, which would have led to future problems. Danny was upfront about the situation and offered a fair price to address the issue. He made the entire process stress-free and easy to understand. The team completed the work quickly and efficiently, leaving my property clean and tidy. The quality of the workmanship is exceptional, and I'm already noticing a difference in the energy efficiency of my home. I would highly recommend A1 Gutters and Roofing to anyone in need of roofing or gutter services. Danny and his team are truly top-notch!"

FAQs for exterior home or structure paint or stain projects in Highland Park, NJ

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.
