When I started to practice this job. I didn’t realize the help I was giving to our boss and to the home or apartment that we were working on. To know that one day someone was going to go live there. Know every time I help a costumer I do realize that with my hard work I can achieve making somebody happy. That’s my goal in life.

"Susan and I were very pleased with the quality and professionalism shown to us by Arvis Plots and his crew from Rhino Shield of Chicagoland. The preparation and completion of their work was so evident. Arvis has been so helpful in following through on his performance. We are very happy to not have to paint our home for 25 years.

"We called Jesse who came out right away and walked us through the whole process. He was so nice and professional! We are first time home owners and this was our first time hiring painters and he really took his time explaining everything. He made an appointment to start very soon and it only took a couple days to do the whole house! His crew was so nice and professional! Their work is amazing! I would recommend Jesse and his crew everyone hiring painters!!"

"He was in and out. He came in on Friday and was done on Saturday. He completely covered the furniture and counter tops and floors. And left absolutely no mess when he left. I have 16 foot vaulted ceilings and he completely fixed all the cracks and his paint came out beautifully even working at that height. The same amount to detail and care went into the rest of the house and it's absolutely beautiful. It turned out better than I had imagined. I would highly recommend mike Wilmsen to anyone. Very professional. <br />"

"Dixon Superior Painting did such an amazing job. We had 6 rooms in the house painted, along with epoxy flooring in the garage and basement. I really could not have thought up a better experience. Everything turned out so beautiful! Bryan (the owner) and his team were professional, meticulous and still got everything done in a timely manner. Overall experience was great! I’m definitely looking forward to having the outside of our home painted by them as well."

"The handyman Les was personable and friendly  but he erred in following a couple of the directions.  Also he was an exceedingly slow worker.  I trusted him to do the job right in a timely manner.  It  certainly didn't 'go down' that way.  We both failed to watch the installation DVD.  Instead he studied the instruction manual and did what it said (I hope), in such a slow manner that he ran the clock out to four hours.  After his departure, over the following two days,  I read the instruction manual (to have a better idea of the unit's operation)  and also viewed the DVD.  There is <strong>no way</strong> this project should have taken four hours!  More like two hours, maybe three, max,  if unfamiliar with the brand and product.  I <strong>sorely regret</strong> that I did not 'ride herd' on him and help him and push him along.  I should have watched him and the clock like a hawk.  Furthermore,  I should have told him at the beginning that I am with Angie's list and that I wanted the project done in less than three hours.  (Oh, hindsight is 20/20.)   <br />  I  have felt mental and emotional anguish over this experience  for 48 hours afterwards.  I 'm writing this report for the sake of some kind of closure. <br /> This is the first and last time I will use this particular company.  I will not  recommend him to anyone. <br /> <br /> <strong><em>UPDATE:</em></strong>  He addressed my concerns and issues and reached an amicable resolution.  Involved with that was making restiution with regard to what I considered an overcharge by giving me a refund.  I have changed the letter grades as a result of our resolution. <br /> <br />  "

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

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.
