"Five Star Painting was highly efficient and helpful throughout the process. Their explanations of the process, information on the procedure and paint/ stain choice, flexible scheduling, commitment to follow agreed-upon schedules, were welcome. They delivered a fantastic product, this with minimal interference with our own life routine, and at a highly competitive cost. I would recommand them to anyone interested in outdoor or indoor painting services."

"Culvers Painting should change their name to Professional Perfect Painters.  Owners, Josh and Alex, were quick to respond to the initial inquiry, quick to come and give a quote and once booked they always came to follow up to see how the job was going. They were very accommodating in working their schedule to complete my job especially around some of the demands our design-firm was giving them. Their "yes and can-do" attitude was consistent from our first meeting to the final clean-up. The team that was here arrived when they said they would, took great care and pride in their work and always went over and above. The guys were not satisfied until I was satisfied and they took customer happiness to the extreme.  The excellent team of Dan, Pedro, Felipe, Kyrc, and Jeff transformed our first floor into something that exceeded my expectations.  Everyone was a pleasure to work with, especially as I was dealing with the stressors of a home renovation.  I appreciated the fact these were full time employees and not sub-contractors. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again or recommend them to anyone.  "

"NJN was absolutely wonderful to work with. I live 1000 miles from Milwaukee and purchased a condo that was in desperate need of fresh paint! Nick was able to meet with my sister and view the property and give a fair quote. His quote was significantly less than what the realtor had given me (more than 1/2 price) and competitive with others I received in the area. He completed the entire space (1200 sq. ft + ceilings) in just about 5 days. I did not move here until March 3rd and I was very pleased with his work. If you are looking for honest, fair, quality painting please contact Nick Niemczyk at NJN Printing - you will not be disappointed!"

FAQs for exterior home or structure paint or stain projects in Waukesha, WI

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.
