"It went very well. They did exactly what they said they were going to do for a very fair price.  If I had to complain about anything it was that they didn't clean up very well after they left... I had pieces of wood left in my lawn after the job was complete.  If it were my business, I would want my crews to leave the work area in as good or better condition than when they arrived.  Overall, a good job and I would use them again. <br />"

"Vern Newman painted my daughter's brand new house, and he did a great job there. He also had a reasonable rate and he was fantastic. Then we got him out here to do an estimate. But I am not sure if we will have him do the actual painting, because my husband wanted to do it himself. It was a very good estimate. It would have cost us $1000. He was also going to charge us $250 a day for removing wallpaper. But I didn't think that was too bad either, because it is the type of wallpaper that sticks and it's terrible stuff to work with. When he came out to do the quote, he was here within 2-3 days to do it. He said that he would have done the work right away too for us. We couldn't do it, because it was Christmas time and we had company coming. We have some deck and fence painting to be done, and I think we will hire him for that."

"Excellent! I was the president of our association at the time that our board approved re roofing association homes. Our re roofing project was completed summer of 2018 . Mr. Anderson was on sight daily making sure dumpsters were delivered and removed timely. That the workers showed up on time and deliveries of roof materials arrived daily and installed as delivered. The roofs were inspected after completion and only 1 or 2 small items were corrected on just 2 roofs. He always took care of any issues immediately and assisted the board in finding a quality shingle along with a sales representative he works with. We were very pleased with his companies’ performance throughout the project. He had someone on sight cleaning up daily after workers. He worked well with the all board members throughout the project. He was paid as we moved forward on this project rather than taking all the money up front. Overall we were very very pleased how quickly and efficiently the project moved along. Mr. Thor Anderson is a man of the highest integrity and I would not hesitate to hire him for any type of work he can perform."

"Ben and his team did an excellent job of painting my near-100yr old house with original wood siding. Ben is very professional and knowledgeable. It was a difficult job (siding wasn't in the best condition, and peeling paint was substantial) but after discussing the project with him, I was confident. The house looks wonderful and we have received several compliments! Very happy! <br />"

"I had sought bids from several contractors, and each of them told me what <strong><em>they </em></strong>do and how much it would cost. All of them proposed to install metal soffits on my colonial home, which would not have looked good. Van Vleet listened to what <em> <strong>I</strong></em> <strong> </strong>wanted, and told me that a composite-wood product was available, and he would install it for what turned out to be the same average cost as the other contractors. They also did a small roof repair job on another occasion, with the same satisfying results. We have moved out of the area, but if we were still in the Twin Cities, they would be my first go-to contractor for pretty much anything. <br />"

"They were OK. It was their first time to the house and skipped several things. They were supposed to clean the laundry room, clean the cabinets and they didn't go into the laundry room. I had to give them my credit card number before they came out. I called them about not cleaning the appliances, and the laundry room and she gave me a 20 percent discount. The next month they charged me for a full service and I didn't even hire them. I didn't call them back and I got charged twice. They did a so, so job. I wouldn't hire them again. They could have been more diligent in the way they cleaned and thorough."

"I first googled handyman in Marcell a few years ago and Handyman Pete appeared. I called and he answered personally and came over that day to introduce himself. From that day forward he has become a friend who we completely trust entering our cabin to do any project I throw at him. We work together as a team communicating by phone or text even sending photos along the way of ideas and projects in process and completion. He has such great ideas to share and he’s open minded to all mine. We are a great team!!! He’s so easy going and fun to work with and his pricing can’t be beat. We plan on having him replace our existing roof to metal next. I consider Pete as part of our family :) I can text or call him to stop by and check on our property if needed in case of a storm or even pest controlling. They don’t call him handyman Pete for nothing!!!"

"<p> He power washed the house for a clean surface and did an excellent job on repairs, scraping and priming of areas in need. He was very meticulous in his painting and clean up. My house is quite old but it looks like new again.</p> <p> I would have no  problem recommending him to anyone and would hire him again in the future.</p> . <br />"

FAQs for exterior home or structure paint or stain projects in Fargo, ND

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.
