"Al was very kind and straightforward. He did initially tried to charge me a little more than the average for the area but after I explained that I had done research for the labor costs and already have materials he got the cost significantly also mention that you found him on Angie's List. I am very pleased with how the floor looks they did a very quick job some very weird layouts because my house is strange though I love its eccentricity. Though it takes a long time to book him because he is usually busy he works very fast, but not sloppily, and the work was completed in approximately 4 days with a small crew of three one of whom was his son. we are almost done with most of our work but I'm a call him back for some minor repairs thing that needs to be completed the only complaint I have is that at least one of the workers is a smoker and I found a few cigarette butts in my yard or in the bushes next to where they were sawing which was not very pleasant. That is a minor complaint though because as contractors go they show up on time and they get the work done and they get the work done well; which, I don't know if you use very many contractors, is unusual and a good thing. Overall I would use them again in a heartbeat and I would suggest them to other people. <br />"

"Dave Sanford was recommended to me by a neighbor who was just ecstatic about the work he did for <br /> her. The major thing I needed was painting the trim and soffits on my house. I also had any number of minor things that could grow into major things if I did not take care of them. <br /> I called him that afternoon and was back to me by the next day telling me he was on vacation and would call me next week. I guess he returned early because he called that Friday and came over on Saturday. I showed him what I needed done and received an email with his proposal on Monday. I asked when could he start and he said they could start tomorrow, Tuesday. It is Friday evening and everything on the list if not only fixed, it is fixed perfectly, with the highest quality material. <br /> His crew of carpenters, painters etc. were the most professional tradesmen you could ask for. Nothing was done hastily. Everything was done right. They worked on one door for hours because they were not happy with a very minor adjustment. You do not find this kind of help today. They worked on my house as if it were their own. <br /> When I let him know I wanted him to do the work he let me know that unlike other contractors he does not require any money up front and will not expect to be paid until I was completely satisfied. I knew I was in good hands. <br /> The following is a copy of his proposal listing everything they were contracted to do. I could not be happier with them. They all are true professionals and skilled in their trade. <br /> His last man left here around 7 pm. He stuck around to hang the new solar security lights that arrived yesterday. If you are looking for skilled tradesmen who take pride in their work and go out of their way to make sure you are satisfied AND at a very reasonable price, you cannot go wrong with Sanford and Associates. <br /> I am so pleased with David and his people I actually joined Angie's List tonight so I could tell people about these guys. <br /> Page 2 is the list of what they fixed, repaired or replaced. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Sanford and Associates August 17, 2014 <br /> 351 Grove Park Drive <br /> Montgomery, Al 36109 <br /> <br /> (334) 221-3557 <br /> <br /> <br /> Proposal <br /> for Mr. Jerry Belcher <br /> 263 Lake Shore Drive <br /> Pike Road, Alabama <br /> <br /> Sanford and Associates to provide all materials, tools and labor to perform job in a timely manner. <br /> <br /> and middot; <br /> Adjust front door as needed to obtain a tight seal to eliminate air infiltration. <br /> Remove and replace brick mould and part of jamb on rear door to carport and replace brick mould with non-rot material <br /> Remove and replace all rotten soffit and fascia and replace with new and prime and seal all new wood <br /> <br /> Clean all soffit and fascia in preparation for painting. <br /> and middot; <br /> Caulk and seal all fascia, soffit and molding against brick <br /> and middot; <br /> Remove straight lap wall siding below window at the rear elevation of the home and replace with non-rot cement fiber board, <br /> prime, seal and paint all adjoining siding. <br /> and middot; <br /> Investigate and eliminate water infiltration in window to the left of the front door, patch, sand and prime interior water <br /> damage resulting from leak. <br /> and middot; <br /> Cut limbs off the roof as a preventive measure for the roof. <br /> and middot; <br /> Check plumbing boots on the roof and replace as needed. This will be assessed at time of inspection and costs will be <br /> determined then. Should run $ 50 for one boot and $ 30 for each additional boot. (It was determined that the boots were in good shape. I have had contractors who would tell me they needed work and jack up their price while doing no work on the boots.) <br /> and middot; <br /> Paint all exterior non-brick areas which are now painted, (with the exception of the shutters, front door and garage door) the <br /> same color or close to the same color as is presently on the home. <br /> and middot; <br /> Remove and replace light on the Florida room with new light which is to be provided. <br /> and middot; <br /> Remove all spot lights on the soffits of the home and cap electrical boxes keep water out until new lights are installed. <br /> and middot; <br /> Provide concrete, form and pour ramp from drive into back yard.

"<p>    Mr. Carmichael and his crew are great to work with. Their quote to complete the bathroom was really reasonable and quickly responded to the job. I appreciated their professionalism and the ease of communicating our ideas for the bathroom. When any changes needed to happen they saw to it that it was taken care of unto completion.  </p> <p> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /></p> <p><br /></p> <br />"

"Excellent job on first day with pressure washing and looks great. Arrived about 30 minutes late for first day of painting and were only able to work for 3 hours before the lift started giving them problems. Tried to work second day and lift totally failed. Rented another lift and were able to return to work after about 2 hours. On final day had 4 men instead of 2 and completed the job late in the day. Would blame delays on bad equipment from rental company and not provider. <br />"

"I thought they did a good job but when I had some follow up work done I was told that they did not do the flat roof correctly. However, I have had no problems with it and that was over a year ago and we have had torrential rains.They cleaned the area thoroughly and you could not find an old tile or a nail in the yard. <br />"

FAQs for exterior home or structure paint or stain projects in Shorter, AL

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.
