"We were extremally happy with Grady Jones Paint Contractors. The painters that did our interior painting were very professional and pleasant to deal with. Fred and Chris did a fantastic job. They were neat and cleaned up very nicely when the job was finished. We have more painting that needs to be done and we will definitely hire Grady Jones for that job also."

"We had previously hired Paz Painting to remove popcorn from the ceilings in 2 rooms and hired his crew again to do the same in our dining and living rooms, an entryway and the upstairs stairwell ceiling. They also painted several rooms. They did a great job in both regards and did a nice job of cleaning up when done. Narciso is easy to work with and I would definitely hire his company again."

"Really easy to work with. The painting pro's at Five Star Painting had input that really improved the results of the overall project. No BS with a bunch of adders at the end of the job. I've used them last year to paint the exterior of my house and again this year for the interior. Great communication with Jacob. Trustworthy contractor!!!!!!! "

"Great service. We needed to have our house and barn stained (cedar siding) and painted (trim). We also needed some carpentry repair. Kelvin walked all over our roof to make sure he identified all of the trim repair needed and gave us a detailed list. He also made certain that the stain he used matched what was put on last time. The end result was excellent. The house looks great and the price was quite reasonable. I highly recommend them."

"Ryan was absolutely great to work with. He listened to what I wanted, made smart suggestions, is very experienced and extremely professional. I have nothing negative to say. He did an outstanding job and I couldn’t be happier. I’ve already forwarded his information to my realtor, who has forwarded it today to another client of hers. 5 stars for sure!"

"I recently hired this company to paint exterior of my home , I was very specific with salesman as to what I wanted in regards to proper prep before paint . He assured me I would receive that and to just let crew know upon arrival. The crew immediately started covering and painting without prepping first ,I questioned them about calk ,and peeling paint etc. They said they would take care of it . They were literally painting over rotting and wet wood ,peeling paint . The contract stated they were to scrape loose paint ,calk all open joints and paint trim around windows and sashes . The painter assured me it was all done ,upon repairing my gutters and leaders I found these items were not done ,painters were to also according to contract prime all bare wood prior to paint .they didn't do prep work which resulted in paint peeling away within hours of completion. Owner agreed via photos I sent ,to send someone to rectify issues ,the painter came next morning and said he would be back Monday, the painters own crew said no primer was used which is why paint was peeling ...the painters never returned to correct issue. Owner sent message to me saying they met their obligation....This company did not meet their contract obligation ,they didn't paint what was to be painted ,didn't calk what was to be calked and didn't do proper prep such as scraping ,sanding or priming as stated in contract resulting in peeling paint. Company is not returning calls or texts not responding to photos. They told me they would schedule someone to come out ,but they haven't in nearly a week .I was told to contact certain people in company including owners but when I did I was told not to . The owner is not making good on warranty work which they state on their website they guarantee workmanship...the painters also didn't attempt to open windows to properly paint sills, I had to remove globs of paint to do so. My windows look just as bad repainted then before they painted. $6k later I am finding myself doing much of rework because express yourself paint is not responding or adhering to there contract especially regarding workmanship"

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