"The Paint Company did a great job on the exterior paint job on our home. They worked with us on color coordination and were very patient. They worked within the timeline provided. Painting the exterior of a house is messy and it was definitely a process but the finished product is exactly what we envisioned. We do had them paint our kitchen island, a bathroom vanity and all interior doors and trim. This project came out perfectly and exceeded expectations. Again it was a mess for a few days but the result is fantastic. Wayne was great as was Joel the project manager. I would definitely hire them again for painting."

"When you're updating your home with a top to bottom paint job, not only is choosing the right color important, but choosing the best painting company is vital. Whether I was communicating with Wayne, who came to bid the job, Lola in the office or Cesar who was in charge of the painting, everyone showed exceptional listening skills to make sure we were all on the same page. Courtesy, timeliness, cleaning up after a job, following through and up on your word, and other behaviors are rare these days, but they are the norm with this team! Hire The Painting Company for your next job if you want to be a happy, more than satisfied customer like me!"

"While house-sitting at a friends house that was just re-painted, I couldn’t help but look at the painting work that had just been done. The level of detail was incredible. The edges were sharp, crisp and straight. I was very impressed. She ended up giving me the number of Bob (The King of the Painters) Lyon. Bob came out and looked over my house. There was a lot of termite damage, the side garage door needed to be replaced and dry rot was prevalent throughout. Fascia, eaves and large beams were in bad shape. All had peeling paint. Bob has an amazing eye for colors. We settled on the color scheme and Bob even picked out the fabric we chose for the awning we had installed out front. After settling on a price (which was VERY reasonable) we set up the date for work to begin. On the day the crew arrived, the project manager (Mike) introduced me to his crew. Dennis Iloff, Jr. Lopez, Alvin Hernandez and last (but certainly not least) Ricardo “Rickey” Duenas. While Mike was tending to other jobs, Ricardo was my point man. He asked all the right questions, always informed me of what the tasks of the day were going to be and answered all my questions with a smile. This crew was thorough and they all seemed to be having fun while working very hard. I couldn’t be happier with the finished product. Bob Lyon is probably the nicest guy you’ll ever meet and his employees show it too. Give them a try. You will NOT be disappointed."

"On a home built in 1957 Approved Contractor Inc (ACI) installed new construction windows and sliding glass doors, stripped the house of old siding, removed old plywood sheathing and old insulation, and then insulated and stuccoed the house. What was important was not only finding a reputable construction company, but also one that would coordinate the total project. The added benefits were quality work and high-end material, at a competitive price. Of note, was the stucco method (4 layers-coats - scratch, brown, finish and texture). The texture coat is an elastomeric paint (color of my choosing) that is water repellent, reflective and provides an even color on the walls - with a lifetime warranty. Other stucco contractors stop on the finish coat, with the color in stucco. In addition ACI uses its own subcontractors. ACI was professional, flexible, and did really great work. ACI was a superb choice."

"I had a terrific experience working with John and Santiago’s team on my exterior painting project. They were extremely polite, pleasant to work with, reliable, flexible, professional, and always on time. I am very satisfied with the quality of their work. The estimate they provided was fair and in line with others that I received. John, the project manager, was friendly, easy to reach and responded very promptly (usually immediately or within a few hours) to any questions or concerns. I especially appreciated their attention to detail, willingness to use the special environmentally-safe materials we required, and ability to listen to and address our particular needs. I highly recommend John, Santiago and their Precision Painting Plus team."

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

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.
