"We had both the exterior and the interior kitchen cabinets painted. I have only good things to say about the experience. The prep work on both projects was thorough. Jorge did the painting on the outside and was very personable, attentive, and quick. There or no spots when he finished. Jonathan and Angel painted the cabinets. It was a 4 1/2 day project. Both were very experienced knowledgeable through and responsive this project like the other one came out beautifully. We definitely recommend the painting company. They were professional thorough, attentive trustworthy trust worthy and affordable. "

"I needed to repaint the entire exterior of my home and asked for proposals from multiple sources through online. I actually connected with the workers at The Painting Company. They put in the time to find out as well as look everything over face to face. They developed a precise quote, which I feel was the best worth for what they were going to supply versus other companies. The men that came out to repaint were fantastic! They bore in mind their work and also took the time to do it right. The results are impressive! Everybody in your area comes over to compliment how wonderful of a work these individuals did."

"I shopped around with other window and stucco/paint contractors before I chose Approved Contractor. Justin gave me a very detailed quote and worked with me to help me decide and define exactly what I wanted. He convinced me to go with the elastomeric coating over doing a re-stucco job because of its benefits of heat reflection, waterproofing, and it was basically the same price when you include the painting of all the eaves and trim on the house. I received a very fair price for each of the items and services, so decided to go with him for my entire home improvement project. Everything went quite smoothly despite delays of materials from suppliers due to COVID. Justin kept me informed as to progress of the manufacture and delivery of the windows, and was very responsive to my questions. The subcontractors he used to perform the work were all very skilled and professional. There were quite a few different people involved because of all the different things I was having done, so it got confusing at times when someone came to the door to do the day's work. In all, it took about 1 week to install 25 windows on my 2 story house (including sliding glass door), and 1 week to do the prep and paint/coating work. A few thousand $ in extra, unexpected expenses popped up, like replacing some dry-rot wood, extra stucco work around my new front door, and extra tiles for the new roof area, but Justin offered most of those additions to the contract at cost. I also know that there are often unexpected things that happen with new construction or reconstruction that cannot be seen and bid on beforehand, so I didn't feel like I was being taken to the cleaners with the extra costs. My house looks beautiful now, and I feel I made a very good investment, and a very good decision to go with Approved Contractor, Inc."

"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.
