"He was very kind and professional! Highly recommended! He was busy with other jobs in the suburbs but knew I needed this done immediately as I am putting my home on the market and he took time away from other job to get to me."

"I can’t express how pleased we are with the results of our experience with Certa Pro Fox Valley. We hired them to paint our kitchen cabinets. The team was always on time, extremely professional, experienced, and very good at their craft. Their head painter Jim takes great care in ensuring everything is done right. Quality, quality work. Working with Susan on color was also an excellent experience. She is very knowledgeable and experienced. The end product is beyond our satisfaction and we would highly recommend them for any project. Thank you to the entire team!"

"JJ was professional, punctual, talented, well informed and he goes the extra mile. He totally took the stress off our shoulders with hurrying to paint rooms in a time crunch before we moved in. He rearranged his schedule (more than once) and even showed us how to do a lot of fix ups around the house. I’m hoping to book him later this week to do more!"

"I did the typical homeowner thing where I anticipate being able to handle a project and quickly found I was in a bit over my head. I was hoping to do some finish work on my basement and thought everything would be simple. It proved to be a bit beyond my understanding and I went to Angie's list and a few other places for help. I ended up finding Redwood Builders (Jared) on Angie's list. He was semi local to me which was nice and made it easy for him to stop by one morning before I left for work. I had two other people out to look at the possible work as well. I ended up going with Redwood Builders for the job because I felt most comfortable with Jared compared to the others I had talked with. Overall it worked out very well. He was very open in communicating what was going to be done when and on what day. Overall everything has stayed relatively on time to what we discussed. The overall cost was higher than I had wanted to spend, but that is more to do with what I believe was my poor estimating on what real work costs. Compared to the other people I talked to he was right in line with them as far as costs go. On the costs, what I have appreciated is his openness to adjustments as we go. Initially we discussed a baseline cost for the project. He has stuck with that, but because of my request for an additional thing here or an additional item there the cost did increase. He never really said no to anything and just explained that might be an additional cost, gave me a rough idea of the cost, and we ended up going forward. In my work, I work with a lot of different contractor types in different industries and frankly I wish all were as personable and easy going as Jared. He did a good portion of the work himself. He did sub out some portions of the work, but the items he subbed out were done well by people that were professional and worked well and quickly. I know he had some personal issues pop up during the tail end of our job. Short of letting me know he really did not miss a beat. I fully would have understood any delays but he was very professional and very set on finishing what he had agreed to. I would gladly use Jared again on any possible future job and would recommend him to anyone looking."

"Charles took me shopping to help me make design choices and make sure we stayed on track for budget.  We had a productive day and a lot of fun buying new materials for my home.  I was included in the project every step of the way.  Really?  Who goes shopping with their customers anymore?  Wonderful experience from the begging!  Charles and his team were polite and professional and what I loved the most is they have made me feel so comfortable while performing this work in my home.  Team was on time and ready to work everyday.  No corners were cut and details were always finished perfectly. Charles and his apprentice went above and beyond whatever I originally had expected before I even knew I was going to choose him or Dream Line Remodeling LLC.   Charles knew exactly what I wanted before I even did and he was able to bring it to life with Good planning, professionalism and the spark of creativity that he has for home design!  My bathrooms are beautiful, My new fire place mantel is to die for and everything is just awesome!  Charles and his team are remodeling my kitchen now and I could not be more excited to have them here.  Kitchen Cabinets are in his shop in Rockford right now being finished!!  Stopped by just today to look at them and WOW!!    Thank you Charles and to the rest of the Dream Line Remodeling team!!  Your loyal customer for Life!!!   <br /> Karla Dobnick Roush <br />"

"As Mr. Newton had previously done exterior painting for us I called him to come back again and paint a trim piece that surrounds the house. He arranged for a date and did the work within one day. He actually found additional areas that could use repainting due to water leaking out of the cutters and did that also. <br /> <br /> He is always very professional, appropriately dressed for work and has all the necessary equipment. It went very well and I was again very satisfied."

FAQs for exterior home or structure paint or stain projects in Lee, IL

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.
