"Recommend them without reservations!! Flawless Painting took on a very large interior painting job, on a short timeline. The results are absolutely beautiful! Paul and his crew are highly skilled, pay attention to detail, arrive on time, and do a thorough clean up job. We have used other Angie List painters, and Flawless Painting is among the very best. Have contracted with them to paint exterior of our house in the spring."

"Gary is always very professional in his work. He is prompt, courteous, and efficient. Gary is able to go above and beyond most other painters because he has the skills to perform minor repairs in the walls or woodwork himself, so is able to offer a more finished product. I've found his rates very reasonable and often favorable to others. His rates are why I and my colleagues and friends initially hire him, but the quality of his work and his easy personality keep us going back to use him routinely."

"Hired them to cover ALL exterior wood with siding. It wasn’t completed. There is still exposed wood on 3 sides of house. Some of the siding is buckling (after one week) Was told they’ll put more nails in. They use white nails on black siding (polka dots?) The front of the house looks good but the rest is incomplete and shoddy. We were not satisfied with the job and will not use them again as he didn’t do what we hired him to do."

FAQs for exterior home or structure paint or stain projects in Ithaca, NY

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.
