"Mr. Jones and his crew did a great job on painting our home. They showed up on time, were professional and did an excellent job both inside and out. I would highly recommend them to anyone and will definitely be using them again in the future for any other paint jobs we may have."

"Narciso was wonderful and stress free to work with from the initial estimate until the final payment. We found him and his employees prompt, professional, and did excellent work. His price was fair and reasonable. They even game on the 4th of July to touch up, and to our surprise, cleaned the front window by the doors. We also hired them to power wash our walk/driveway and clean the gutters.We have had more than a few compliments on our home. Without a doubt, from now on, Paz Painting will be our go-to for any painting, pressure washing, or gutters cleaning needs."

"The process was seamless. The people were thoughtful, knowledgeable, flexible and held our hands every step of the way. The pricing was right on time and the outcome was a breath of fresh air. The outside of our home looks new and delivers a sense of pride that we had been missing. We have worked with so many contractors in the building industry over the years and have never had this type of quality service. Most contractors are hard to reach, over-promise and under deliver, lack business/accounting acumen and more. Express Your Paint is the exact opposite. They over deliver. We highly recommend them."

"I previously hired Juan to do exterior home repairs and painting based on a recommendation from a neighbor having their home painted. He did such an amazing job I didn’t hesitate to book with him right away to have my oak kitchen cabinets painted white. As before Juan was very professional and did a wonderful job! He is always on time for scheduled work, easy to communicate with and quick to respond to any questions. He did the work quickly and efficiently with the highest quality. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone and would use his services again without hesitation."

"Deon and the entire That 1 Painter team are meticulous and dedicated to an excellent service. I reached out for a quote to paint a large portion of my home, including my living room, dining room and home office. I was shortly contacted by Deon and his manager, Sebian came by and provided a free quote. The prices were extremely competitive, and they were willing to fit me in with my tight schedule of summer travel . The team came about a week later and provided immaculate service. Great care was taken of my belongings. Plastic covers were placed over my furniture to protect them. The trim was properly taped. My father was a home painter, so I know what prep work is correct. Deon and his team continued to stay in contact with me every step of the way, even after the experience to ensure I was satisfied. My dad, like me, was impressed with the job. I highly recommend That 1 Painter. You will not find a better company or people in this area to do painting for your home or business."

FAQs for exterior home or structure paint or stain projects in Wake Forest, NC

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.
