"Claimed a deal on Angie's List. Needed the work done in 1-2 weeks. Steve called to let me know his crews are booked into July and he would honor the deal if I could wait until then. I couldn't. He also let me know that my project would take far longer than the deal would cover and gave me an idea of what to expect to pay if I found someone able to meet my schedule. I appreciated getting that information."

"Prompt response within 24 hr to discuss possible job(s) -- either painting garage exterior or painting entire exterior of house and garage. Discussed potential problem areas and areas of concern to homeowner (us). Provided two bids overnight. We decided to do exterior of entire house based upon bid. Contractor showed up next day and proceeded to power wash entire exterior as well as some unwanted tree limbs/branches/debris from roof. This preparation was greatly appreciated, absolutely needed, and well beyond the minimum required. The following day a painting crew arrived with the appropriate tools, began early, and finished late. They covered the entire exterior, some with needed two coats of paint, in a single day. The neatness and complete lack of droppings/etc., spillage, and overlap on adjacent surfaces was remarkable. Extremely neat and precise. Extremely well done. Extremely outstanding. I would strongly recommend to anyone needing this service. This group is exceptionally skilled, customer-oriented, reliable, and professional. We were very, very happy with their work."

"I was having a difficult time locating a handyman in my area.  I finally researched Angie’s List and contacted Andrew Strugar (dba Handyman Pete) in Squaw Lake.  We are selling our house and we needed some general contracting assistance.  We needed to have a living room window exterior molding replaced and leak fixed; we needed our exterior railings reinstalled on our concrete stoop; we needed an exterior pre-hung steel door installed in the garage. <br /> He came up one day to survey the jobs and discuss terms.  He is honest, up-front, and very personable.  He discussed what he was going to do and how he would do it.  He provided the estimate and agreed on work dates. <br /> He arrived ready to work and in one day finished the window molding and stair rail re-installation.  The work was EXCELLENT. He was very detailed, professional, and diligent.  He cleaned up each work site as each job was completed. <br /> The next work day he installed the pre-hung steel door.  Every once in a while I would check out how he was doing and he was doing a great job on the installation.  He did everything I expected an expert to do on a door installation.  He did it first-rate and UNDER budget. <br /> I would recommend this man to anyone and everyone.  If you need work done YOU NEED TO CALL THIS MAN!  His work product is first-rate, prices good, and professional.  He will ALWAYS be the first one I call! <br /> <br /> <br />"

FAQs for exterior home or structure paint or stain projects in Nelson, MN

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.
