"After Kirk and his team painted our exterior home and fence, we had him paint our 3 car garage floor with an anti slip paint with speckles on another home we own and they are doing an excellent job. They are coming back on Monday to apply the sealer (had to wait for paint to dry). They even did a trash run on items we needed to get rid of. Wouldn’t hesitate to hire Vandermark and Son Painting. They are the best."

"There was minimum preliminary discussion (e.g. color, prep, etc). They power washed the exterior, allowed it to dry, scraped off old flaky paint, sanded, and painted. I didn't like the color first coat, and without objection they adjusted it to my liking and applied that new color on the second coat. What a difference it made. My house looks so much better now. They were fast and efficient, neat and clean; at an affordable price. Thank you Jesse."

"I am overall unhappy with the final job. Lots of touch up left for me. I just am Not a fan of Spray jobs. I have lots of leaves painted that when touched reveal unpainted surface. My T-1-11 groves all need to be hit with a brush... I have to repaint lots of nail holes inside and out. Lots of scrubing the wood floors and cabinets to remove overspray. I asked and showed the primer and paint to them for the bid but the primer step was skipped and that made the paint not go as far or cover as well. Too late after. The customer should be listened to. Not told the paint has primer."

"I cannot say enough about Jesse and his team. They were amazing and did excellent work. I had Jesse paint the interior of my home and the attention to detail was outstanding. The home looks amazing. His professionalism, prompt communication, expertise, and work ethic is amazing. He absolutely cares that you are 100% satisfied before he finishes and takes pride in his work, I truly like that every day he discussed where they were at and the plan for the next day and they followed through and showed up as scheduled. There was never any guess work of the project status and kept me informed all day. The whole experience was top notch and I highly recommend Jesse and his team. We will be having his team come back to paint the exterior of our home soon."

"Brian was very personable and quick to respond to our request for a bid. They even moved the job date up by a few weeks. Unfortunately, we were out of the country when the job was performed. I think, had we been in the country and able to supervise the work being performed we may have had a better outcome. Looking at the home from the street, everything looked good. However, when you were right up on the house looking at the worked performed there were several areas that were missed during the spraying process. The estimate stated that all new/raw siding and trim would receive 2 "healthy" coats of primer and 2 "additional" coats of paint. Unfortunately this was not done and we had to put a second coat of paint on all new/raw siding and trim. The estimate also stated that they would sand and scrape all areas needed. One area in particular on the existing structure desperately needed "wood filler" and we pointed this out during the walk-thru but when we returned home they had simply painted over the area in question so we had to do that work ourselves. Lastly, we do not believe that the railing on our front porch was properly prepared because the paint started bubbling and peeling so we had to sand and repaint that area ourselves as well. If you are wondering if we called and complained about the work performed on our home the answer is NO we did not. Why would we call them back out to fix all these problems if they couldn't perform the work correctly the first time."

FAQs for exterior home or structure paint or stain projects in South Lake Tahoe, CA

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.
