"It has been 4 yrs and many house projects since I first met Roberto (7 Oaks Painting and Remodel) . Prior to meeting Roberto other contractors provided me with one bad experience after another. I was to the point I dreaded hiring anyone to do anything. In my first conversation with Roberto he said what he would do, what it would cost, when he would start and that he wouldn’t stop until the project was complete. He told me no payment would be expected until the job was finished and I was satisfied. Prior to meeting Roberto I had two other bids for the exterior painting project of my house. After meeting Roberto he gave me his bid which was by far the lowest cost The quality of his work far exceeded my expectations. The first project was to paint the exterior of the house. They scraped,primed and placed two full individual coats of paint. All shutters and awnings were removed and repainted then reinstalled after all painting was done. Any boards with rot were replaced primed and painted. All protruding nails were reset or replaced. Any extra work that was unexpected but a need found during the project was taken care of without an up charge. No problem was bypassed. Roberto has always responded to all calls from me on the same day as I placed my calls. Any problem was expeditiously taken care of and I never had to ask twice. They always showed up when they said they would. One evening Roberto called me to ask about working the next day. He wanted to know if it would be ok if they would start work a couple hours earlier but would be very quiet not to disturb the neighbors. I told him that would be fine. Before finishing the first project neighbors who had been watching Roberto and his crew working and their attention to detail contracted with Roberto to do projects for them. Since then Roberto has been back to do numerous other projects for me and also for my neighbors. He is a man of his word and his word is his bond. After our first contract and project I never felt the need to mess with a written contract for other projects. I have never been disappointed by Roberto and have never heard of a negative remark about him or his work."

FAQs for exterior home or structure paint or stain projects in Van Meter, IA

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.
