"EXCELLENT! I cannot say enough about the quality of the work and the professional nature of Dan and his team. They did an absolutely amazing job. While I am never thrilled about having to spend money on such things as exterior painting, I am now trying to think of other jobs to hire these guys again. Thank you Jimdandi for an absolutely beautiful looking home!"

"Jesse did an amazing job painting my new home. It looks like a completely different house. Jesse helped me pick the right color to brighten it up as well as the rooms. I could not be more happy with the outcome! Very good pricing as well compared to other companies."

"We are very happy with the job Custom Colors did for us. For us, the most commendable aspect of their service was their attention to detail. The interior of our house had not been painted for over 10 years, and as a result, the walls and ceilings had a lot of issues. None of these were major issues, but there were quite a lot of cracks, nail holes from wall hangings, a few minor water stains, etc. Now that Custom Colors is done, our house looks brand new. There is not a blemish to be seen. The edges are very sharp. There aren't any splotches, etc. <br /> Beyond the attention to detail, the crew was very polite, asking permission for minor things, like using our kitchen table to eat their lunch. (Of course that was fine, it was below freezing outside!) It seems like they have been working together for a long time, as everyone seemed to know what their role was, and were very efficient. <br /> They were willing to do a few little extras, like wiping some grime off the wallpaper up high. (This room we were just having the ceiling done. The wallpaper stayed. But since they were already up there on the ladders...) <br /> Being able to work at home, we gave them an extremely flexible schedule. We said we didn't care on which date they started, or how long they worked. So, I feel we can't comment on things like punctuality. Nevertheless, they arrived promptly at 8:30 each morning and finished the job sooner than estimated (around 3 days). <br /> At the end of each day, they put the house back together as much as possible, even though we said we were willing to live around any mess. They took pictures before starting the job, and used them to arrange the furniture as it was before they started. <br /> Since we can't really find any thing to fault them on, we gave them an A in every category, and would use them again if/when we paint again. <br />"

"After our first contact and assessing the work to be done, C & Z responded quickly with a very reasonable quote. Fidel and his team were wonderful to work with. They arrived on time every day and put in long hours on hot days to finish the job in just 5 days. They power washed, scraped, replaced boards as needed, caulked, primed, and painted the exterior of our home. Every step was done with attention to detail and professionalism. They cleaned up daily and at the end of the job. We would definitely work with them again and would highly recommend them. It was a pleasure doing business with them."

"I highly recommend ONIT Painting. They did an amazing job and were very thorough and detail-oriented. Robert and Patrick of the painting crew were very professional and always friendly. They were well organized and planned out the work of each day. They used a wide variety of equipment and were always prepared for any situation they came across. Drew, the consultant I initially met with and Ruben, the production manager were very communicative and available to answer any questions I had and the painters were also helpful and would ask every day if I had any questions or concerns. I never had any worries and I am very happy with the quality of their painting. My compliments to everyone at ONIT Painting for the positive experience!"

FAQs for exterior home or structure paint or stain projects in Indianapolis, IN

Painting vinyl siding is a budget-friendly way to revive curb appeal without paying for new panels. As long as the boards aren’t warped, cracked, or leaking, a coat of high-quality acrylic paint can buy you another five to 10 years before replacement. 

Stick to lighter shades so the siding doesn’t soak up excess heat, and prep the surface well for the paint to bond. If you’re seeing rot or moisture damage, skip the paint and plan for new siding instead.

High-quality acrylic paint is recommended for vinyl siding. Acrylic paint adheres firmly to vinyl surfaces and resists peeling and fading, providing a sleek and long-lasting finish. Ensure the siding is thoroughly cleaned and prepared for optimal results. Your exterior painting pro has the expertise to properly prepare your siding’s surface to ensure proper adhesion.

Priming is not required if the vinyl siding remains in good condition and is properly cleaned. However, if the original color is severely faded or the panels have become porous, priming becomes essential. Priming provides a smooth, even base that improves paint adhesion and enhances durability, ensuring the acrylic finish adheres properly and lasts longer.

A paint sprayer is the quickest, most consistent way to coat vinyl siding. The fine mist reaches grooves a roller can miss and lays down an even layer in a fraction of the time. You’ll still need a brush for tight corners, but a sprayer slashes labor hours and reduces lap marks. 

If you’re renting equipment, ask the supplier for a tip size made for exterior acrylics so the paint atomizes correctly and sticks to the siding.

Painted vinyl siding lasts between five and 10 years. The durability depends on the quality of the surface preparation and the local climate conditions. When the siding is thoroughly cleaned and prepped, and high-quality acrylic paint is used, the finish endures longer. In hotter regions, the lifespan may be closer to five years, while cooler climates help extend it.
