"We purchased a home and needed a large amount painting to be done. Bobby was professional through the entire process. He was there when he said he would be, paid attention to detail and left everything clean. He did a great job and was fairly priced. I would highly recommend him and definitely use him for all of our painting needs."

"Five Star Painting provided terrific customer service and was extremely great to work with. Due to many unfortunate circumstances, we needed this job to be started and completed in a time-sensitive fashion (started within 7 days). Multiple companies scoffed at our time frame, saying that they could not start and finish a project so quickly. Finally, I found Five Star Painting. Bob at Five Star Painting informed me that he would be able to make an exception due to our situation, despite the current typical start time of 14 days. He made the necessary accommodations and completed the work quickly and at the time that we agreed. The only downside was that the initial paint job was not as clean as I had hoped, with some paint splatters (spots) on the door and window frames and moldings. I called Bob to express my dismay, and he quickly rectified the situation in a timely fashion. He drove to our home and made sure that all the blemishes were corrected and the paint job was truly pristine! It's easy to see that Bob runs a business where customer satisfaction is the top priority. I contacted him whenever I needed; never did I spend hours or days waiting for a reply. Communication was rapid and painless. He followed through on every agreement and commitment he made. Although the work was not perfect initially, he was quick to make amends and see that we were 100% satisfied. I recommend Five Star Painting to all my friends and family looking for professional painters who care about providing high-quality service and truly care about their customers."

"I had purchased a house about two years ago. The house is located in Bogota, Northern New Jersey and it was in good condition. However, gutters were a disaster. Leaks, broken angles, the whole lot. I had contacted at least 3 contractors about replacing the gutters, downspouts and putting gutter guards. Out of all of them, A1 Gutters LLC was the most professional, the most responsive and the most competitive in price. Once I contacted them through Home Advisor, they were able to squeeze me the next day. Danny, the owner was very eager to walk me through any questions or concerns that I had. At 7:30 am, they rang the bell, as per our agreement and were on their way to do their magic. Van, generator, tools, sealant, and everything needed for the job was provided by them. Hassle free and worry free. There were two employees at my site. They were so fast that within 2 hours they were able to take out the old gutters, install the new ones and put the gutter guards. I inspected the work afterwards and everything was just flawless. I really never write reviews, this is my first one. But, I was so happy with the price and the professional work this company did that I had to write it, in hopes that it might help first time home buyers, like myself choose a great company."

"Magic painting has gone above and beyond every time. Moises has painted the entirety of my house at this point, including a recent complete gut renovation. He has done everything from basic painting to complex historic wood restoration and specialty Fine Paints of Europe finishing. Heâ s courteous, attentive and more thorough than any other contractor on the job. I sincerely wish I had other jobs to hire him for because he is truly a pleasure to work with. His work is second to none and I would recommend to anyone who is truly looking for the best"

FAQs for exterior home or structure paint or stain projects in Middlesex, NJ

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.
