"We contracted King of the Painters to paint the exterior of our home in Clairemont after reading customer reviews about their services. We met with the companies owners who were very helpful in helping us select a new house paint color scheme. The workers were on time and cleaned up the work site each afternoon. We had a few issues with the job and called them to report the issues and they were very quick to come out to correct the discrepancies. We would recommend using them to anyone."

"PBH did several house projects for me, including installing gutters and fancy fascia under my roof eaves. The work was perfect and all the workmen were polite, neat and clearly dedicated to making a perfect finished product. When they left, they cleaned up my entire yard. I would definitely rehire this company!"

"Well, what does one say when a diamond is found. As far as painting professional, Joe Asaro is that diamond. Several years ago, Joe painted by our stucco and wood trim on the entire home. The paint has held up incredibly on the stucco walls and wood fascia and I have not even considered touch up painting if it was not for the replacement tile roof installed a short time ago. With the tile installation, the new trim rake tiles where installed exposing more wood than before and therefore, Joe's services were necessary again. As always, Joe met me at my home, walked the site with me and promptly sent to my email his proposal and as prior, the price was very reasonable, especially for the workmanship that Joe provides. Joe is hard working and honest and the quality of work provided is proven by the lasting of time. Thanks again Joe for your professionalism and thoroughness and for consistently offering the a great product and service. Nick"

"I have worked with these guys for quite some time and they had done several jobs from drywall replacement and painting to plastering. They are very all inclusive painting experts, they do inside and outside. They are great with stains, they have painted my garage doors and fences. I use them for everything. Luis is the owner and that is who I always work with, I have worked with him on 2-3 homes since 2002. From 100 year old homes to modern homes. He is easy to work with, gets the job done right, knows to ask the right questions. His people are very prompt and respectful, they always clean up after themselves."

"He did a very good job, very clean. They were perfect, could not be any better. Dave and his brother were great. They do quality work, they keep the work area clean, they dispose of their own paint. They don't clean any of the brushes or equipment at your house, they take it away with them. That is very important because they are not destroying your grass by washing out their equipment at your house."

"Everything was fine until they re-installed the lights on the outside of our garage.  The painter said , after examining the situation that there was a problem with the wiring.  I hired an electrician (for $75 and hour) and he found that the light bulbs were no good)  Now, i contacted them on the 8th of June and it took them 2 weeks to respond.  They said it would take awhile to schedule and didn't offer how long it would take, then I noticed a small defect in the finish and contacted them about that, they said it might be a few weeks before they could schedule a man to come out to repair that as they were in the middle of  couple of jobs and would contact me as soon as there was an opening.   After 5 weeks  I finally called them a insisted they do the repair ASAP and after another week they finally had  a man come and do the repair.  The man was very  polite and took genuine interested in my concern and completed the repair that day.  I was satisfied very with the work.  Mr Montoya, the owner contacted me personally, apologized and informed me that the person responsible for the scheduling was fairly new, unfamiliar with their responsibilities and would receive additional training so that this occurrence should not happen again.  He also reimbursed for the electricians fee.  As a result I have re-evaluated my assessment of his services and yes, I would hire him again.   "

"They entire team was professional and worked quickly and quietly.  They cleaned up after each painting session and Jesus himself inspected everything. He has a great eye for detail and makes sure that everything looks perfect.  I was really pleased with his work and the professionalism of the team.  I have already hired him to texture coat some walls and paint them in a small apartment as well.  
 The thing that people should know besides the fact that this company is professional and efficient is that they also do a lot more than just paint.  They can do exterior stucco, cabinetry, texturing of walls and painting and MUCH more!  I have a tight budget so I am doing things gradually, but I couldn't be happier with the results!!

FAQs for exterior home or structure paint or stain projects in Julian, CA

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.
