Welcome to Indigo Painting! As the owner / operator, I have more than 15 years experience providing high quality interior and exterior painting for residential properties all over the San Francisco Bay Area. Indigo Painting is licensed, bonded and insured company, and we pride ourselves on delivering the highest quality painting services to our customers. Customer satisfaction is very important to us, and we look forward to meeting all of your interior and exterior painting needs!

"There is always a sense of uneasiness and dread when encountering a task such as this. I mean to paint the exterior of a two story home in San Francisco? What about the cost? The time? You can bet there was a high level of anxiety while searching for prospective painting companies. However, Omar and his son Junior completed the project without any setbacks. The quote provided was quite a surprise in comparison to the others we received. Omar and Junior could not have been nicer and the job was done within the stated time frame. In addition, on very short notice, Junior was able to sand and stain our back porch/stairs and did a terrific job. We are very happy with the finished product and would highly recommend Indigo Painting."

FAQs for exterior home or structure paint or stain projects in Mill Valley, CA

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.
