"Five Star Painting was highly efficient and helpful throughout the process. Their explanations of the process, information on the procedure and paint/ stain choice, flexible scheduling, commitment to follow agreed-upon schedules, were welcome. They delivered a fantastic product, this with minimal interference with our own life routine, and at a highly competitive cost. I would recommand them to anyone interested in outdoor or indoor painting services."

"Employees were very personable and did excellent work. It's the second time that they have either painted or stained for me and I wouldn't hesitate to use them again. I never even bothered to look for another company because I was so pleased the first time around."

"Kenzie and his crew did an excellent job. We had a board to replace on our deck, and then they cleaned and stained our deck. They were also fantastic about clean-up everyday. We are definitely going to be hiring them for more work on our house."

"I consider myself a little more than a novice on general construction when it comes to studding and drywall. I am also a bit of a perfectionist. I needed support to help me studd my unfinished 1700 square foot basement in a new construction home. After calling over a dozen contractors who would either charge me ridiculous prices or tell me that they only do projects like this from start to finish, I met Jordan from JWC and he agreed to take on my project for a reasonable price. I was a little apprehensive at first because his was a young business. Folks, let me tell you. Jordan and his crew came in and absolutely KILLED IT! After three days of back breaking work I was left with a perfectly square and plum studded basement. Throughout the job, Jordan and his team were friendly and courteous to my family and I. More importantly they tackled the work with the focus and know how of a 20 year business. I was floored by their efficiency and ability to navigate the challenging areas like the knee wall I requested along the back wall. I could not be happier with the professionalism and work that Jordan with JWC provided. All of which was provided at a reasonable and honest price. Thanks again JWC Recommend 100 out of 100!!"

"A little higher priced, but best quality. Be sure to not mess up the schedule, if there is another contractor on site, the painters will leave the job if the other contractor is in their space, and you may not know it til late in the day."

FAQs for exterior home or structure paint or stain projects in Middleton, WI

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.
