"We've used Dave Docherty Painters multiple times and also referred them to friends and family. They did an amazing exterior paint job on our home. We were so happy with their work and professionalism, that we called them again to paint our interior home. The interior project was done 2 week before Christmas which some people thought we were crazy to have done at that time. However, we had full trust and confidence with Dave and his team. They painted away even with our Christmas decorations up. They worked their magic and we enjoyed newly beautifully painted home for the holidays."

"Francisco was amazing! He was always on time and very professional. At first I was a little skeptical about paying for painting when I’ve done the painting in my home myself for the most part. But when the job was done I was in awe at how amazing it looked. If your looking for the best look no further because I can honestly say this is the best my home has ever looked. Definitely going to be calling him again soon!"

FAQs for exterior home or structure paint or stain projects in New Castle, DE

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.
