"Alberto’s team was great. They pressure washed the house. Stained the house and painted the deck. Also, they pressure washed the driveway, repaired the chimney, and replaced some of the railroad ties. They cleaned up very well. Very professional. They did much more than the “exterior painting” option category below."

"Wilson, Angel and their teams were amazing. Fair priced always on time and did an amazing job. They painted two cabin interiors and exteriors, trim and several patios. They always got the job done quicker than what was quoted and I will be using them again. Great group of guys. I am happy to supply them a reference whenever needed."

"I had a great experience with this company. They followed through on everything with no delays, did pressure washing, carpentry repairs, removed a lot of vines from home exterior, and debris from roof and gutters. They painted two coats on home, carport, and fence. Cleaned up well. Were polite and hard working."

"After consulting several contractors, we chose Dario and his crew at Custom Painting of Asheville to power wash, paint and clean-up of our 2-story home located on a steep slope. We are very pleased with their 5-star outstanding job. They are professionals who are hardworking, friendly and courteous. They are also fearless as they scaled some of the tallest ladders I’ve ever seen. Dario is very easy to work with. He will listen to your requests and comes through on his promises. The quality of their work is something you can be proud of at a very reasonable price."

"Ms Mitchell is a real jewel. We had some antique lacquered pieces and wanted wall color to compliment them. That is when we discovered that Jillian has a degree in fine arts. She is also a highly sought after set painter and has travelled from New Hampshire to Savannah on theatre and TV jobs. Because she is not pushy she didn't volunteer her opinion until in frustration we asked her. The rooms are perfection. She is always on time,m works tirelessly and leaves no mess. We learned that she paints murals on walls and ceilings and is a master of faux finishes."

You won’t be disappointed. Update as of 4.26.2021 This is continued from earlier review attached are the before and after photos."

FAQs for exterior home or structure paint or stain projects in Highlands, 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.
