"I'm always a little nervous hiring a new contractor but I had a good feeling about Bryan and I could not be happier with how things turned out. We had some bedrooms painted and new baseboards installed, and also some drywall repair and everything looks great. They covered furniture and flooring well while they were working and were very professional."

"They were quick and efficient, very professional and great at communication. The project was enormous, the entire interior of our home ceiling to baseboards, and they got it done in a week. There were some shortcuts taken, painting over some outlet covers and not sanding the doors first, but they came back and corrected most of the issues in a timely manner. "

"I first hired SD painting on the recommendation of my trusted plumber to fix and paint a crumbling ceiling after a water leak. They repaired and repainted the entire room, and I was very impressed with their prep work, attention to detail, cleaning after each day work, and beautiful results. I later hired them to paint over 20 wood windows and doors - again great prep and results. I was so pleased I hired them to paint my son's older house in Mira Mesa - not only did they have 6 colors to deal with, but they noticed and fixed a sagging ceiling and went into the attic and fixed it without charging extra! Since then they have also painted my daughter's café in Carlsbad, including a 1980's acoustic tile ceiling dark blue, installed wainscotting and painted all the interior walls. Samuel is a pleasure to deal with, extremely detail-oriented and a real pro. Yet his rates are very reasonable especially given the quality of his work. The best I have found in 40 years of owning homes!"

"Project: paint 2 bedrooms. Painted one the wrong color. They repainted it the correct color, but at the expense of the second bedroom; paint for that one was mostly used in wrong room. One bedroom left â  finished,â  except for various trim that was primed but not painted and streaky trim. Second bedroom left with sheer veil of color that shows streaks and does not cover pencil marks and scuffs. Closet doors painted wrong color and I was toldâ  everyoneâ  has closet doors painted as I did not want them., I am now repainting that toom. Mark Johnson does not oversee his workers, instead he followed me around my house telling me what is wrong and how he could fix it. Very disappointing. Leftover lunch on my bed. Spilled mineral spirits in my yard. Overall terrible experience."

FAQs for exterior home or structure paint or stain projects in Vista, CA

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.
