"ok. There was no confirmation call or respond to email until after the worker showed up. He arrived without any basic materials ( tape, rollers...) and left to find a Sherwin WIlliams although Lowe's is a mile a way. He returned 45 minutes later and took a brief lunch break. We paid for 8 hours of work. He left early - at 4:30 and we thought he was done. He never finished the job and left the bedroom doors and window trim unfinished. I assumed the company would follow up but never heard from them. The paint looks good and the color change was successful, but there are flecks of something gritty all over so I suspect the wall wasn't cleaned first."

"Mr. Jones and his crew did a great job on painting our home. They showed up on time, were professional and did an excellent job both inside and out. I would highly recommend them to anyone and will definitely be using them again in the future for any other paint jobs we may have."

"Jesus Cruz and his team have done several painting projects for us in the past year including both interior living spaces (including a 2 story vaulted family room) and exterior doors & porches. They did a great job in all areas, spent time and effort preparing surfaces before painting by sanding and priming, then painting and cleaning up. There was good communication throughout and status updates were provided regularly. We would hire him again whenever we need to have another painting project completed. Jesus and his team were a pleasure to work with!"

"Narciso was wonderful and stress free to work with from the initial estimate until the final payment. We found him and his employees prompt, professional, and did excellent work. His price was fair and reasonable. They even game on the 4th of July to touch up, and to our surprise, cleaned the front window by the doors. We also hired them to power wash our walk/driveway and clean the gutters.We have had more than a few compliments on our home. Without a doubt, from now on, Paz Painting will be our go-to for any painting, pressure washing, or gutters cleaning needs."

"Javier did a great job repairing and replacing over 200’ of deck boards and lattice and then brush painting/staining our large deck. Since we are home due to COVID-19 we were able to observe him throughout the project. Good communication, fair pricing, friendly and conscientious. We are very happy with the quality of his work and look forward to hiring him again to paint the exterior of our home."

Small jobs welcome

"Many painters are not eager to take on a small job. Ryan took a look at a dining room ceiling that had water stains from a plumbing leak. The ceiling needed repair and the molding required sanding and painting , due to water damage. Ryan was wonderful. He arrived on time, ready to work. He was polite and pleasant. He ran into an unusual situation, called and called me to point it out,, then went about fixing the issue, that must have been there since the house was built, 20 years ago. I cannot say enough good things about Ryan and his work! My next painting project, I will hire Ryan as my painter! ! I paid for a quality job and I certainly got a high quality result! He is the neatest painter I have worked with in 40 years! Thank you, Ryan!!"

FAQs for exterior home or structure paint or stain projects in Raleigh, NC

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.
