"MQ Painting was very professional in every aspect of the work they completed for us. They power washed every surface prior to painting. All surfaces were sanded or scraped as needed. Two coats of stain we applied to all surfaces. The garage doors were stripped, stained and varnished. The deck railings were completely replaced and painted on a very large deck. Originally, Jose thought only a portion of the railing spindles needed to be replaced. As the job proceeded it was apparent that all spindles and railing wood needed to be replaced. The only additional charge was for the materials, not for labor even though every spindle needed to be individually cut from larger pieces of lumber. MQ was the only painting contractor who bid on our paint job who was willing to do all the woodwork repairs needed on the deck. Other contractors said we'd need to have someone repair the deck and then they would paint it. We appreciated working with just one contractor. Their painting and carpentry work was top notch. All workers were neat, punctual and conscientious. All materials and tools were picked up and stored at the end of every work day. I discovered MQ Painting through Angie's List. I highly recommend MQ Painting and would absolutely hire them again."

"I highly recommend Juan and his crew. They painted my garage and 2 story home. Juan and his crew were prompt, polite, very professional. They answered all my questions and as they worked, they addressed all the details of the project, as we had discussed. They kept their work area clean as they painted and cleaned up the work area completely when they were finished each day. They appropriately protected areas and items near the painting that they were not painting. Juan and his crew kept me up to date with the project as it progressed. Juan and his crew were a pleasure to work with."

"Outstanding job by Anthony and his team. Our home actually has aluminum siding and when it came time for a fresh look, we were debating replacing the siding (very expensive) or having it freshly re-painted. We couldn't be happier going with Anthony's team for having it re-painted and helping with any exterior repairs needed. We are in the process of hiring Anthony's team again for some other projects. We HIGHLY recommend hiring Preemo Painting & Repairs. Thanks!"

"Jay Finnegan and the CertaPro team have been extremely professional and efficient since we first contacted them in August of 2014. After several months of house projects, we were finally able to have CertaPro finish the final touches in our 2 bathrooms. Not only was the team punctual; they took extra measures to make sure our floors were properly covered to avoid any damage prior to beginning the work. They were able to finish some major blemishes on the walls and ceilings of the bathrooms, and still complete the painting job near perfect in less than 7 hours. Needless to say, we highly recommend CertaPro - and will continue to use their services for future painting projects.

"Anthony was very responsive. He came over for an estimate within a day or two after my original call. His quote was competitive. He explained pros and cons of various options and accommodated my request to use a specific brand of paint/stain that I had a lot of success with in the past. When I agreed to hire him, he only required a modest deposit. The job was scheduled within a few weeks and I was very pleased with the results. The crew completed the work on time and cleaned up afterwards. Throughout the job, there was good communication with Anthony on the crew's progress."

"Absolutely cannot say enough about the fantastic job that Ken and his crew did! From the prompt and very reasonable estimate, to the on-time start and completion dates, Ken was professional and detail minded. He kept us informed and kept his word with everything he said he would do. His crew took care to cover all of our exterior fixtures, clean up behind themselves daily, and there were no random paint droppings left all over our newly laid brickwork. The neighbors are daily paying compliments on the great job that they did and the complete transformation, and we LOVE driving up to our home now! Would not hesitate to recommend Performance Painters to our friends,family and anyone else looking to get any painting work done. They re outstanding!"

"I was able to work with Jorge and team initially via phone and text with sharing pictures of spaces that needed to be repainted or touched up. He was able to offer an estimated price without the need to come to the house to see in person. We scheduled and confirmed time and date for work to be completed. The team arrived on time and was able to complete painting one and a half rooms with trim within a few hours. I will be calling for additional work in the future"

FAQs for exterior home or structure paint or stain projects in Oak Lawn, IL

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.
