"I highly recommend Ruben and Roman Painting. He called me back the same day I requested and neither of the other 2 painters bothered. He made an appointment for that same day, came early and provided me with a detailed work order. He did a masterful job painting all of our kitchen cabinets. The doors were all taken off hinges, sanded, treated and spray painted. He is an artist with tape and plastic and concocted a labyrinth of plastic so as not to let the sprayer touch floor, ceiling or walls. He also offers a warranty on touch-up and overlooked, minimal adjustments. He returned 2 weeks later and completed some minor touches. All in all, my wife and I are exceptionally pleased with our final product, dark cabinets magically turned into a butter cream, slick finish. Ruben does what he says in the time he estimates and for the price quoted. The clean up was diligent and timely and his helpers were pro and friendly. My nickname for him is Picasso. Dan Novak"

"Omar and his sons were great in meeting all my expectations. The prep and finish work in painting my apartment building was excellent. Because the exterior came out so well I had them paint the interior halls as well. Cost was reasonable and their paint cleanup was great. Omar is very friendly and timely in his work and I would definitely use him again."

"Luis Gonzalez and his crew have done a very thorough and professional job painting wooden trim on our house and, above all, repairing lots of dry rot on the house, the garage, and the roof of the garage. Luis is very nice and so are the men who work with him. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs a good, conscientious painter for outside or interiors. Peggy Kagel Fairfax, CA"

"Ok, first of all "Green Oak Painting" is the Wrong Name....It is should be "Perfect, Spectacular, Professional, Honest, Prompt, Thorough, Affordable and REAL Painters". I found Green Oak painting on Angi's list, and called them among other painters to get a quote. After sending in a request for a quote, I received a call within the hour about them stopping by in 30mins to do a walk through of the house! I had no idea they were so prompt! We really appreciated it because we did want to get the painting done within 2 weeks. After the initial walk through, I received an invoice for the quote and its details in my email by the end of the day. Omar kept very good communication throughout the whole process, whether it be email, cellular, or weekends - so dependable! Omar and his team just painted the exterior of our 2 story home. They were fast, efficient, thorough, friendly and helpful. They did power wash , prime, caulking, 2 coat painting on the whole house. Omar and crew were very accommodating as they went above and beyond for every little detail. The crew was amazingly friendly as they always arrived very punctually, worked hard, and straightened up before leaving. The guys were not satisfied until I was satisfied and they took customer happiness to the extreme. Before completing the job, they did a final walk-through to ensure that they hadn't missed any spots! I would definitely use Green Oak Painting again and would highly recommend them! A couple of neighbors have already asked for their contact info because everything looks so good. Amazing customer service, responsive and very professional! A+++"

"I would give Javier a 10 star rating out of 5 possible. First we hired him to paint the exterior of the house we were selling, this involved some repair of facia etc . Then we hired him to do the interior of the house we bought. Again excellent work. What sets him apart is his professionalism, always on time, work ethic, goes above and beyond, and his pleasant personality . Oh, and he does excellent work."

"Got the job done faster than estimated. Was very careful to make sure high traffic areas were done with least amount of trouble for us (even used a drier to make sure the lower walls would not be wet if my dog walked by).Very polite. Willing to move furniture and paintings. Even fixed the towel rail that my son had pulled part way from the wall."

"TM did an awesome job painting all the interior walls of our home. They painted 8 rooms and 2 bathrooms in two days which exceeded our expectations. Their work quality is excellent and they moved and protected our furniture and floors to prevent any paint damage. Also did a thorough clean up after the painting was completed. We highly recommended them."

FAQs for exterior home or structure paint or stain projects in Mill Valley, CA

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.
