"The garage turned out well. There were a few things done that was not perfect. They painted over some light bulbs and covers. The basement turned out great as well. There were several guys that came out and completed the project (including a ridiculous amount of nail pops) in just 3 days. This was the quaility of work I expected for the main 2 floors. The interior was another story. I was told when I received the bid that it would be a project that was squeezed in since they were very booked. Price was lower than the competitors so we hired. The company sent out 1 man to conduct the job. He was all over the place, missed spots and I was getting very stressed out. He fixed some nail pops but didn’t complete all of them. Additionally we would come home and see furniture and new carpet had not been covered up. Brush lines are still visable in spots along with paint runs. The home was empty and without furniture for 1 month. They were unable to complete the job while it was empty. The company had to come out after the pervious sub contractor was complete to try and fix and better the quality of the final product. Additionally, not everything was as it should be when final payment was made. There are stilll definite brush marks and color differences along all the corners and seems. Due to furniture being delivered that was too heavy to move, I will have to ask them to come out when we move again to see if they can finish some spots. The crew that came out to fix the job did well but there was so much space to cover they didn’t get everything. We are still noticing spots along the home that weren’t caught."

"We've used Dave Docherty Painters multiple times and also referred them to friends and family. They did an amazing exterior paint job on our home. We were so happy with their work and professionalism, that we called them again to paint our interior home. The interior project was done 2 week before Christmas which some people thought we were crazy to have done at that time. However, we had full trust and confidence with Dave and his team. They painted away even with our Christmas decorations up. They worked their magic and we enjoyed newly beautifully painted home for the holidays."

"Fabiano and his team were great. They were very understanding about our anxious rescue dog and let us Introduce them to our dog before they began work. They were always on time or early and finished the project sooner than anticipated. There were a couple things we wanted fixed or adjusted when they finished and Fabiano fixed them no problem. The finished molding looks stunning. would definitely hire again!"

"The experience of having a roof installed on a home that is attached to a neighbor has all the pitfalls that could negatively affect your relationship with your neighbor. As well as affecting the other neighbors because parking is at a premium at this city location. Paddys eliminated those pitfalls by performing in such an efficient manner that the work performed was accomplished in a single day minimizing the pain to our neighbors. As for the quality of the workmanship, Joses crew was as professional as they come. They were polite and responsive to my requests. Also Brian the QC inspector was professional in performing his oversite to ensure me that my neighbors home was as good or better than when the roof work was started. Matt the project manager was quick to respond to whatever I asked of them. These individuals demonstrated Paddys customer-focused culture and professionalism in all aspects of their job, be it workmanship, communication, or customer service. The overall experience was performed flawlessly and met or exceeded my expectations."

"A dog sitter we should have never trusted started a small fire in our kitchen while we were away and caused a lot of damage. The insurance company estimated the damages and made a proposal. I’ve reached out to LHI, who I found here on Angie’s and had them come out and do an estimate. I was concerned that the money insurance company offered may not be enough. I let the estimator know the amount the insurance company offered and he said that they will make it work. I figured I will also ask for an estimate to repaint the remainder of our home since we are already redoing the kitchen and the dining room. I felt they were very reasonable in their pricing and I decided to let them do an entire house. They did a very good job and had we had any other painting work, I would not hesitate to hire them. In the meantime, I will recommend them to anyone looking for a fire damage restoration or painting."

"The work was honestly great. Antonio gave a fair estimate. He arrived on time and finished when he said he would. He ended up doing additional drywall work on my older home and was respectful of the architecture. He was careful of my possessions and was very neat. I would have him back for any painting and drywall projects."

FAQs for exterior home or structure paint or stain projects in Marshallton, DE

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.
