"Eric is the owner of EJ painting. He is honest and hardworking. His prices are the best and his work always out shines the more expensive competitors. Eric works in my house when I am work and he leaves my house as clean as when he started. He has painted and done sheet rock in the majority of my home. He also power washed my garage floor! He’s extremely versatile and aims to please. I have never once been disappointed in his work. I will be hiring him again to do my bathroom next. A+"

"Wilber's Painting did a fantastic job painting the exterior of my home. I own a 1926 Sears & Roebuck Kit house. The house is the Osborn kit model and has exquisite detailed wood exterior moldings. The house is part asbestos, part stucco and part wood. Wilber's painters did a magnificent job paying very close attention to each and every detail. Wilber's replaced rotted wood. Wilber's repaired damaged areas. The painters evenly, thoughtfully and generously applied the paint to the house in painstaking detail. The painters were friendly, kind and professional. Wilber guarantees his work and personally came to the home to review the job. Wilber's painting is really an excellent choice if you're painting your house -- interior or exterior. I highly recommend!"

"I'm very detail oriented (probably anal retentive) and have had painters in the past who haven't done a great job and they paint "outside the lines."  I hired Mark last year to paint the downstairs and was so impressed with him that I hired him again for the upstairs and our screened in porch.  
Mark and his crew are so meticulous that someone like me had a hard time finding any issues!  They patched old phone jacks that weren't needed anymore, painted baseboards, ceilings, walls, doors, and windows.  Before leaving for the day, Mark would say to me, "let me know if you see any issues and I will fix them tomorrow."  He knew that I was anal retentive and had the patience to deal with me but like I said, I had a hard time finding any issues.  However, if I did find anything, he immediately fixed it with no issue.
He was extremely professional and easy to work with.  He definitely aims to please his customers with the quality of work that he does.  I would recommend him to anyone!

"We were very pleased.  They washed it down, sanded it and did an excellent job.  They were marvelous, clean and efficient.  Their job was good.  They were just great.  They responded quickly.  I hope I don't have to paint again for the next seven or eight years but if I needed to I would absolutely use them and I would recommend them too.  They were just marvelous all round and I can't say anything negative about them.  They were just great in all aspects.  They were efficient, kind, neat and did a good job.  If we requested anything, they listened and responded quickly."

"Tito & Son Construction did an outstanding job painting my apartment. I was hesitant at first but after making contact with them I have nothing but great things to say about them. They took their time to prepare the apartment first before painting. They made sure my carpet didn t get any paint stains by covering the floors, etc. I had so many questions regarding the paint quality and type to use on my apartment walls. They were there in every step of the way to make my decisions a lot easier. I highly recommend them, five stars all across the board. Highly professional and best customer service. Thank you Tito & Son Construction!"

FAQs for exterior home or structure paint or stain projects in Short Hills, NJ

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.
