"Jim recently painted a custom built-in entertainment center in our home. The project was in our finished basement and Jim went above and beyond to protect our home when setting up his paint area. He was responsive, punctual, and completed on schedule. He is an excellent painter, detail oriented, and holds himself to an incredibly high standard. Highly recommend!"

"It went fine.  They worked long days ( 12 hours) and every day, weekends included, until the job was done.  They returned in three days to do touch ups, and are scheduled to return in 10 days for another check.  The job is guaranteed for three years, with any touching up done in that time at no charge."

"<p>He was initially busy so the first week we had planned for the work did not work for his schedule. I ended up agreeing to a 3 week delay. But when he did come, he got everything done in one day and it was a great job. The only reason I gave him a B was because he is so busy that I did not get the first date I had scheduled. We also asked for a quote for another project, but his schedule has kept him from providing the quote.</p> <br />"

"Brian , the owner, was very knowledgeable and professional. His bid was reasonable and below another bid. His crew was here early every day. They were easy to work with and excellent at their craft. My home was built in 1930. They are certified lead paint contractors. They answered all of my questions and had a great attitude. Brian was here everyday to check with me and check on the progress. They had to glaze a lot of windows and take down and put up heavy storm windows. I am very pleased! My house looks terrific! Old windows look so much better! You can't go wrong with this company. They will work to make sure you are satisfied with the job. I would definitely hire them again if I need any painting done! A+ rating! <br />"

"Our experience with Peterson was extremely positive.  The crew prepped and painted the house exterior.  We are very pleased with the quality of work.  Communication from both Cary and the crew was excellent.  The original quote up to the actual invoice was spot on.  The attentive and detailed communication from the office was much appreciated.  We definitely plan to use this company for future painting projects inside our home.   <br>"

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

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.
