"<p>I have never hired a professional painter before, so I wasn't sure what to expect. I was surprised (and delighted) by his process. He patches any holes in the walls or cracks that have appeared over time. He also caulks the baseboards so they look newly installed. He will happily remove/move anything in his way, including towel racks and furniture, and put it back once he's done. He uses a local supplier and had all the tools needed to paint the (very tall) stairwell.</p> <p>His original estimate was for about 8 days, and it ultimately took him 11. However, that was due to us asking him to paint more trim and doors than originally estimated plus two additional gallons of paint needed to finish the job. He had many photos of past jobs to help us visualize color choice. He kept a very clean work area and always picked up at the end of the day. We were easily able to function in our house during the two weeks he was working, which was surprising since we were having practically every room painted. We were very pleased with the work, and we would certainly recommend him again.</p>"

"I spoke with David Jardine on my first call. He has someone out to give me an estimate in a week. He was out the next week to do the work. My porch was power washed and stained and looks great. David and his crew were friendly, prompt and neat."

"They’re very good and very thorough.  They’re conscientious and they want to make sure the job is done right.  We’ve never been dissatisfied with their work.  I recommend them to anyone who is looking for a handyman. The price really isn't bad; I don't consider it unreasonable. They seem to get satisfaction from doing the job right.  They're perfectionists and they want to make sure you're happy with the job before they leave.  There were a couple times when they didn't show up exactly on time but they called to tell me they were running late. "

"Raymer & Son Exteriors has done many jobs for me through the years and has always done an outstanding job. This job was handled in the same professional way all the others were. My old deck steps were not only rotten but each step was a different height and the top step was 11" high. Tom ripped out the old steps and repaired framing that was unsafe. He installed new steps (adding one step) and now all my steps are exactly 7 1/2" high and he made them 16" deep which is exactly what I wanted. He even picture framed each step with the decking treads. He also replaced my step railing which was old and to high from the steps. Tom also cut fence pickets to match my current fence exactly. He replace two full sections that were damaged and various pickets in other sections. He had to replace two of the fence posts. The treated wood will have to dry over the winter and then in the Spring I will have Tom?stain the whole fence and deck."

FAQs for exterior home or structure paint or stain projects in State College, PA

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.
