"Carl Cockrum came to our house at the scheduled day & time to give us a quote for the elastomeric coating of the stucco and the exterior painting.  He provided us with a typed & clearly expained quote along with general information about CertaPro Painters.  Carl worked with us to set up a 2nd time to proceed with the work since weather issues & personal travel delayed the work.  The workmen arrived on the appointed day, calling ahead to confirm the day & approximate time.  The work was started on a Friday and completed the following Friday.  The men worked hard, were very professional & polite, and checked with us regularly to make sure that the work was being done to our satisfaction.  They matched the old stucco & paint colors perfectly and checked with us before applying any of the final colored material to the house and walls.  Carl also stopped by the house several times to check on the progress and our satisfaction with the work.  The workmen cleaned up around the house after completing the job.  We are extremely pleased with the completed work. <br />"

"This painter has an artistic approach. He assisted us in picking out colors for each room. The result was a completely different looking townhouse. It looked much newer and up-to-date. His ideas were invaluable in the lovely transformation.  His work was completed in a timely manner, due to the fact that he arrived early and usually stayed late. <br />"

FAQs for exterior home or structure paint or stain projects in San Rafael, NM

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.
