"This crew was great! All of them were very friendly, and easy to communicate with. The work was done within the timeframe, and looks fantastic. People are always complimenting our new house color, after they did a full exterior paint job. Very affordable compared to other quotes received."

Customers say: Quick response

"We hired Davids Painting to clean and restain our 2 level deck. Each level is 10' X 20" with cedar shake wall along the lower level. They were professional, thorough and kept us informed on the progress of the project. They kept the area clean and neat all the while they were here and were very pleasant to work with. I would give Davids Painting a 5 Star Review and would reccomend them to anyone."

"The people at Classic Finishes were professional and flexible. I had a short time frame to get my new home painted after the closing, but before moving in, and the were able to accommodate that. They were friendly and helpful, and their work was not only quick, but more importantly, it was very well done! I couldnâ t be happier!"

"John was extremely professional throughout the job.  He is very knowledgeable about what he does and it shows.  We have a room with a vaulted ceiling with a lot of angles and he was able to get it all repaired and painted within a short amount of time.  Our walls look better than I ever thought they would considering all the nails and bumps from removing a chair rail and old security system boxes.  He also (very kindly) gave us some advice on how to do some other paint jobs that we want to tackle ourselves.  I can't recommend him highly enough; we will definitely hire him again if we have future work and will also recommend him to friends and family.  Thanks John! <br />"

"I would say it went ok. Todd came out quickly to review the job to see what would could be done in the 40 hour block. Todd looked at all the areas I wanted painted and then said he was at like 37 hours so I added a small bedroom to get to the 40. However, the 40 hours was not enough and the MBR bath did not get painted as planned under the 40 hours. The explanation was the dark color on the walls required more time to cover and a bit more time on minor wall repairs... this is true but I would have expected this to have been taken into account during the estimate. Overall Todd was good to work with and the work quality was good. Going forward I would not purchase a service were you are buying a block of time but rather go a firm bid for an entire job."

FAQs for exterior home or structure paint or stain projects in Forest Lake, MN

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.
