"I had my home?s exterior painted by this company, and I couldn?t be happier with the results. The team was professional, punctual, and paid great attention to detail from start to finish. They took the time to properly prepare the surfaces, kept the work area clean, and completed the project on schedule. The quality of the paint job exceeded my expectations, and my house looks brand new. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality exterior painting services. Great experience overall!"

"Brian and his team were excellent. Their work was of very high quality. They took the time to take down all wall hangings, move the furniture, remove the shutters to paint the siding underneath them and anything else that needed done. Brian was very patient with us while we took the time to select the color of the exterior paint and was helpful with bringing samples of different colors and showing us how they would look by painting small patches. He and his crew even came back to paint a small area that was accidentally missed. Brian and his crew were very professional - I would recommend them highly."

"Dede is extremely pleasant to work with - punctual, patient, and communicative. He got right back to me whenever I texted or called. He was also very flexible, because once I realized how competent he is, I added several smaller jobs onto the main one, which he did cheerfully and efficiently. He was able to match paint colors perfectly to what I already had for the various patch jobs. He actually got everything done even more quickly than he'd said he would. All of that said, the real reason I'd hire him again is that he paints with surgical precision - every corner, every edge, every tiny detail is almost comically perfect. One of the walls had a hole that was probably five inches wide and five inches deep, but Dede repaired it so meticulously that I can't even see where it was. His prices are very reasonable. I've been a homeowner for almost thirty years, and have tried many, many painters, none of whom have been nearly as skilled, organized and friendly as Dede is."

"Anni and his partner did a great job and were totally professional painting my two-story garage. They clearly communicated when they were coming and what they were doing. They did small wood repairs beautifully before painting and the garage looks great. Definitely recommend."

"I hired Color Concepts to repaint the exterior of my cedar sided home. I have mixed feelings about Color Concepts LLC. When I called to schedule an estimate, Joe was polite and responsive. The day of the estimate, Joe did not show up. I called, he apologized and had forgotten, and then came over. At the start of the project Joe worked for a day and then was not seen for three. He did not answer calls, texts, or messages through that period. Joe then showed up to complete the job and apologized stating he had been caught up on another project. It took Joe about 5-6 additional days to complete the job as he had estimated. He cleaned up well and overall the job looked ok. Joe did not paint part of my chimney as he was uncomfortable getting on the second story roof (brand-new roof replaced one month prior and this was not mentioned during estimate). He took 100 dollars off the price although this will not cover having someone else come finish the job. I was also informed of this at the time of his departure. There was no formal walk around prior to Joe leaving. Many areas of the house needed touch up work, which I spent several days completing. Undersides to siding were missed, the door frames had only received one coat, and a few small areas towards wall bottoms were missed. I am not confident my house received two full coats as well, more that the second coat was touch ups and *hitting light areas*. Joe was the cheapest estimate and able to complete the job rapidly, but in my opinion this was not a reasonable trade off. Though Joe was a nice individual, I can not say that I would use him again or recommend him to my friends and family."

"We hired Matt to paint our home and apartments, and he did an outstanding job! From the start, he provided a great quote and showed up every day ready to work with professionalism and attention to detail. One thing I really appreciated was Matt’s recommendation to fix the ceiling in our home from a previous painter’s mistakes, which made a huge difference in the final look. He took his time to smooth everything out and ensure a clean, even finish—especially in the front playroom, one of the bedrooms, and our room, where you can really see the transformation. If you’re looking for a reliable and skilled painter, I highly recommend Matt. Thanks again, Matt, for the excellent work!"

FAQs for exterior home or structure paint or stain projects in Schenectady, NY

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.
