"They removed the old surface of kitchen cabinets and painted them. They were careful to make sure no paint or spray got into any other part of the house. Their quoted price did not change. I highly recommend them!"

"I've hired Ruben for 3 different projects, two at my business and one at my home, and have been so pleased every time. He is incredibly kind, patient and talented - and he brings the utmost care to every step of the process. After he did the interior and exterior of my business, he came back multiple times to do touch ups, including reinstalling my baseboards and caulking them into place. He never rushes through things, if he sees an issue that might be a problem, he will pause and make sure to check if it's right. For instance, we had him touch up some work over what another painter did, and he made sure that the sheen was correct instead of just applying the paint - which was a huge help in not having mismatch sheens. He cares deeply about the small details. I also really liked all the other men on his crew, they are warm, professional, on time and really good at what they do. I recommend Ruben to anyone who wants a paint project done well, right, on time and on budget. Thank you Ruben for all your care and attention!"

"Very easy to work with. I'd used them before but this time I got estimates from other contractors and was amazed how much more reasonable Cal Preserving was. The difference may be that the others pointed to additional steps that could be taken. Did Cal Preserving "miss" these things or recognize they weren't necessary--I'm inclined to believe the latter."

"I hired them to do pest repair and paint the outside of my house as I was prepping for a sale. The quality of the work was excellent. I was informed at every step if something additional needed repair and given options. The paint job was superior. They let me know when the were coming, always showed up on time and didnâ t leave until the work was done. I highly recommend their company."

"I would give Javier a 10 star rating out of 5 possible. First we hired him to paint the exterior of the house we were selling, this involved some repair of facia etc . Then we hired him to do the interior of the house we bought. Again excellent work. What sets him apart is his professionalism, always on time, work ethic, goes above and beyond, and his pleasant personality . Oh, and he does excellent work."

FAQs for exterior home or structure paint or stain projects in Lagunitas-Forest Knolls, 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.
