"Cruz Home Painting LLC did an excellent job painting the exterior of our home. Jesús and his team’s attention to detail on the project resulted in a high quality paint job. Jesús communicated with us on all stages of the job and ensured that all parties were on the same page. The quality of work was definitely worth the price."

"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."

"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."

"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."

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

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.
