"Very satisfied with Wow. Had a major project of painting our old house, including carpentry for a great deal of wood rot, and full replacement of our shutters. We worked with Craig Merrils on securing a quote and scheduling the work. He was wonderful to work with, came in fairly priced, and was super responsive to all our needs. Josue supervised the work onsite. The staff was highly skilled and hard working. They are committed to quality and definitely the best out there in terms of detailed, lasting work. They also use high-grade, low-toxin paint, which was important to us. After the job was complete, Craig and Josue went carefully over the work with us, and addressed any and all touch ups that were needed. They address any questions or issues you have until you are 100% satisfied. Highly recommend."

"Mr Mendez has done countless projects in my house including interior painting and limewashing, chandelier and pendant light installation, wood panel building and installation, closet remodeling, exterior painting and deck staining, and more. He and Jose are always professional and timely. They are persistent in getting the job done right and every project they have completed in my house has been done at a high quality level. There is a reason I have gone back to them for numerous projects and recommend them to anyone in need of their own home projects. Highly recommend!"

"Last spring C&Painting did a great job on the entryway, kitchen, main living/dining area and hall in my condo. I contracted Jose again this year to paint our master bedroom suite, guest bedroom and bathroom, and we were again very pleased. We did not need ceilings or trim done. Jose and crew are reliable, professional, careful with your furniture, carpeting etc., and aim to please. They also clean up when done. I can happily recommend them."

"Benjamin and his colleagues go above and beyond to provide high-quality home improvement services. Benjamin recently helped me freshen up my rental property. He and his team repainted the inside of my two-story townhouse, which had long been occupied by tenants. His team was able to transform the look and feel of my rental property from drab to fab! Benjamin recommended a great paint color that honestly transformed my place from one that looked yellow and aged -- to a place that looks clean and modern. The painting and trim work he and his team conducted was excellent! Benjamin was very detail-oriented. He took the steps necessary to properly transform navy blue accent walls to a light and airy color. His team even stripped many layers of old paint from doors to ensure that new paint went on smoother. After painting, he checked behind doors to make sure door stops were in place and made corrections as needed. Benjamin even corrected mistakes that were made by previous contractors to help give my property a fresher look. He fixed cauking that was badly put into the shower by a previous contractor. He also created a toe-kick for kitchen cabinets (that were installed by a previous contractor who oddly didn't take this step). And, Benjamin created a side panel to separate my dishwasher from the refrigerator so that the "guts" of the dishwasher no longer "fell out." His great efforts made my old kitchen look great! Benjamin and his team are excellent workers and nice people to boot! They were on-time, allowing for me to have carpet installed by another vendor. They completed everything well before my incoming tenant's move-in date. And, they cleaned up after themselves. I highly recommend Benjamin and his staff for your home improvement needs. Benjamin goes above and beyond and takes pride in his work. His great efforts did not go unnoticed. We can't wait to rehire him for our next project! -Michelle S."

"I was very happy with the work performed by Leal Remodeling, Painting and Handyman Services. Ferney Leal and his crew did extensive prep work: power washing, sanding, caulking, priming, and replaced damaged wood. Finally, they painted all of the wood trim on the exterior of our home and painted the porch. Our house was looking a little worn down, now it looks first rate."

"This company is awesome! They painted my house inside and out flawlessly! They also installed gorgeous vinyl plank flooring and carpet. I can’t say enough about the quality of the work! Workers were great and very efficient. The only glitz was in communication and that was partially because I’m difficult to reach. Would definitely give them a high recommendation!"

FAQs for exterior home or structure paint or stain projects in Kensington, MD

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.
