ExteriorLap, fiber cement, and wood siding repaired, primed, and recoated.
Siding is the first thing weather attacks. We wash, scrape, replace rotted boards, prime bare wood, and caulk every joint before the first finish coat goes on, then match the coating to the siding: vinyl-safe colors for vinyl, 100% acrylic for wood and fiber cement.
Lap boards, fiber cement planks, wood shingles, and vinyl panels each fail in their own way, and each needs its own prep and product.
The difference is in the prep. Our crews protect your landscaping, repair and prime the boards, and apply premium coatings with crisp lines at every corner board, so your siding looks sharp and lasts for years.
Can you paint vinyl siding?
Yes, you can paint vinyl siding when the panels are sound and the only problem is a faded or chalky surface. The color has to come from the paint maker’s vinyl-safe range, usually the same shade as the original or lighter, because a darker coat absorbs more heat than the panel was made for and can warp it. If the panels themselves are failing, paint will not save them.
Paint it
- Panels lie flat and stay locked together at every seam.
- The color has faded or chalks off on your hand, but the vinyl is not cracked.
- You want to refresh the same color or go a shade lighter.
- Only a few pieces are damaged and can be replaced before paint.
Replace it
- Panels are cracked, split, or brittle enough to snap when pressed.
- Panels are warped, buckled, or wavy.
- Pieces are loose or pulling away from the wall.
- You want a color much darker than the vinyl-safe range allows.
On a sound house, the prep matters more than the paint. Vinyl gets a thorough wash to strip chalk, pollen, and mildew, then dries fully before any coat goes on, because paint will not bond to a film of dirt or a damp panel. That wash is our power washing service, folded into the same estimate. From there the job runs like any exterior repaint, and damaged pieces are swapped out before the painters start.

What a siding repaint includes
Every siding quote covers the repair and prep below, board by board, before any finish coat.
Washing the siding
Pollen, dirt, mildew, and chalk come off first, so the new coat bonds to sound paint.
Rotted board replacement
Soft lap boards, trim, and fascia cut out and replaced before the painters start.
Scraping, caulking, and priming
Loose paint scraped to a sound edge, every seam and joint caulked, bare wood primed.
Acrylic topcoats on wood and fiber cement
100% acrylic exterior paint, two coats, back-brushed into lap edges where needed.
Vinyl-safe color selection
Colors chosen from vinyl-safe ranges, usually the same shade as the original or lighter, so panels don’t soak up heat and warp.
Townhome and HOA siding
Rows of attached homes painted in approved colors, with HOA color compliance assistance.
Need more than paint?
Siding jobs often turn up work for carpentry repair or a full power washing, and many grow into a complete exterior repaint. Tell us the scope and we will fold it into one estimate.
Siding colors that suit the material
Siding carries the most color on the house, so the body color sets the tone. These are popular choices for Atlanta siding.
The material narrows the choice before taste does. Vinyl panels expand in heat, so we stay in vinyl-safe colors, which usually means lighter and mid tones. Wood and fiber cement take almost any color, but darker bodies run hotter and show every wavy board. Our guide to painting vinyl siding without warping it covers which panels to paint and which to replace.
Lap siding throws a shadow line under every board, so the body color reads a step darker on the wall than on the chip. We brush large samples on the sunny side and the shaded side before you commit. Keep the deep color for the shutters, where it frames the windows without heating the walls.

Signs your siding needs paint
Siding paint is the weather barrier for the wall behind it. Walk each side of the house in spring and look for these.
Chalk on your hand
Rub the siding with a dark cloth. A powdery residue means sun has broken down the binder and the coating is spent.
Peeling, cracking, or blistering
Any lifting film means water is getting behind the paint. Catch it before it reaches the boards.
One side faded more than another
If the south or west wall looks lighter than the rest, UV has broken down the pigment.
Open seams and caulk joints
Gaps at butt joints, corner boards, and windows let water straight in, and peeling follows fast.
Soft or spongy boards
Press a screwdriver into the bottom courses and trim corners. Any give is rot that needs new boards before paint.
A professional siding repaint lasts 10 to 15 years on fiber cement, 8 to 10 years on vinyl and aluminum, and 5 to 8 years on wood, less on the sunny sides. Washing once a year and re-caulking every two to three years stretches that. Waiting too long turns a paint job into a carpentry job. Call (678) 737-6776 if you are seeing any of the above.

Stephen was very prompt and professional. From first visit to execution. I had prices come in lower from other companies, but felt like it was one of those you get what you pay for situations. Dunwoody painters weren’t the cheapest, but the work was well worth the price. The repaired bad siding and painted our entire exterior in 3 days. Very painless. Would highly recommend and will call them again for our interior projects as they arise.

10/10 recommend. Stephen and his team were great to work with. They were able to paint my whole house and replace some siding in just three days. Total transformation.

Stephen’s crew did a fantastic job on my whole home painting - windows, shutters, trim, siding, fascia, etc. Communication was great throughout the process, and pricing was the best I found. They identified a number of issues we didn’t know about (rotted wood around windows, damaged siding) and fixed them as part of the work. They were always on time and finished the work quickly. Could not be happier with the work and will use them for any future painting needs
Questions we hear most
Straight answers on timing, paint, payment, and the warranty. Anything else, ask us on the estimate visit or call (678) 737-6776.
Yes, as long as the panels are sound and only faded or chalky. Cracked, warped, or loose panels should be replaced rather than painted. The color comes from the paint maker’s vinyl-safe range, usually the same shade as the original or lighter, so the panels don’t absorb enough heat to warp.
8 to 10 years on vinyl, a little less on the sunny south and west walls. Washing the siding once a year keeps chalk, pollen, and mildew from breaking the coating down early and stretches it toward the long end of that range.
We price it after a free on-site walkthrough, not by a flat rate. The number moves with the size of the house and how many stories it has, the condition of the panels and how many need replacing, the wash and prep, whether the color changes, and how much trim, shutters, and doors get painted with it. Our whole-house painting cost guide explains how those factors add up.
We do. Our carpentry crew swaps out damaged boards before the painters start, so no rot gets painted over.
We use only premium products from Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore, selected for durability, color retention, and a smooth finish. We’ll recommend the right product and sheen for each surface.
Every project is backed by a written 2-year workmanship warranty. If anything isn’t right, we come back and make it right.
You pay nothing until the job is finished and you’re 100% satisfied. Our no-payment-until-complete promise keeps the entire process risk-free.
