"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+"

"I had the pleasure of hiring this Bobby on two separate occasions to paint trim, doors, and ceilings in my home. The quantity of his work was excellent. He used top tear paint that left the surfaces looking fresh and vibrant. Not only he was meticulous in his craftsmanship, but he was also punctual and completed both jobs efficiently. What truly stood out was his attention to detail and ensuring everything was cleaned up once the job was finished. I highly recommend him for anyone seeking reliable, high quality paint services."

"Mauricio’s Construction did an excellent job on our garage project. Mauricio is very personable, easy to work with, and truly goes the extra mile to complete the job and make sure the customer is fully satisfied. The team removed debris, swept out the garage, cleaned and prepped the walls and ceiling, patched small holes, sanded surfaces, and properly primed everything before painting. They also took care of the doors and made sure the entire space looked clean, fresh, and professionally finished. Mauricio also helped us correct a town inspection issue by running the bathroom fan vent duct through the attic to the exterior, bringing the work into compliance. He handled it professionally and made sure the job was completed properly. We are very happy with the results and would highly recommend Mauricio’s Construction for garage prep, painting, repairs, venting and code-compliance work, and general home improvement projects."

"I had purchased a house about two years ago. The house is located in Bogota, Northern New Jersey and it was in good condition. However, gutters were a disaster. Leaks, broken angles, the whole lot. I had contacted at least 3 contractors about replacing the gutters, downspouts and putting gutter guards. Out of all of them, A1 Gutters LLC was the most professional, the most responsive and the most competitive in price. Once I contacted them through Home Advisor, they were able to squeeze me the next day. Danny, the owner was very eager to walk me through any questions or concerns that I had. At 7:30 am, they rang the bell, as per our agreement and were on their way to do their magic. Van, generator, tools, sealant, and everything needed for the job was provided by them. Hassle free and worry free. There were two employees at my site. They were so fast that within 2 hours they were able to take out the old gutters, install the new ones and put the gutter guards. I inspected the work afterwards and everything was just flawless. I really never write reviews, this is my first one. But, I was so happy with the price and the professional work this company did that I had to write it, in hopes that it might help first time home buyers, like myself choose a great company."

FAQs for exterior home or structure paint or stain projects in Hillsborough, 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.
