"I've used DH Painting and More to remodel our laundry room and they did a great job then, so it was a no brainier to hire them again. I setup a meeting with Dave, the owner of DH Painting and More, for a quote. We went over the work to be done and he was able to provide a quote quickly and was very responsive when I had follow up questions. I agreed to the scope of work, but like my prior project with them, we needed to make changes and they were very accommodating. We would discuss what needed to be done outside of scope and Dave would be clear on what it would cost me to do. On some occasions I would ask about doing something a certain way but Dave would insist to do things a specific way. When I'd ask why he'd explain things very clearly and on some occasions he'd tell me flat out that if he did what I asked it would look poorly on the quality of work he did. This showed that he cared about his craft and took pride in his work. Which to me was a big deal. The workers that Dave brought onsite were great too. Easy to talk to and good workers. One of his workers was super handy and was able to make some custom cabinet doors to match everything else we had in place in our kitchen. Couldn't be happier with the work they've done and will be using them on my future projects."

"Did excellent work. Had to wait quite some time before they were able to do the work. Had the estimate done around Memorial Day and they were not able to do to the work until late November.  Parts were on back order and weather. Would have no problem asking Artemans to do more work on our house. Very professional and courteous. <br />"

"They were in the top two. I did go with the other company, because they were less expensive, however, I was very impressed with their responsiveness and the higher quality that they were suggesting."

"The service went well. A crew of five came out and completed the job in about 1 week for my in laws house and a little over a week to paint our home. The painters were very thorough and meticulous. They did a great job with their prep work and with the clean up afterwards. They did a great job and even washed our windows afterwards. I had no problem scheduling with the company."

"The room came out very nicely. The contractor was very helpful in suggesting the right materials and did the carpet for price of epoxy since he had already committed to it. They also put the trim for free. There were some delays in work however we are very happy with how everything came out after the job was done."

"While we are happy with the finished product, the process was a little bit problematic. Aubrey is one of the nicest, kindest people you will ever meet, and he does good work, but he doesn't write anything down, and as a result, forgets what you want done. He also left a mess in our kitchen, which, while he came and cleaned up it immediately when I called him about it, caused me a lot of stress. As his prices and work are good, and he is trustworthy and honest, I would tentatively recommend him, but would advise you to specifically write down what you want done (and where/which rooms, and maybe even put Post-Its in each room with details) and have him map out a specific timeline for completion and put it in your contract with him. <br />"

FAQs for exterior home or structure paint or stain projects in Lincoln, 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.
