"Junior and his team are simply SPECTACULAR. They are professional, honest, prompt, and thorough, and whether you need interior painting, exterior painting, drywall repair, or staining, the quality of their work is far superior to the competition. Junior is a perfectionist who takes great pride in his work, and his work is flawless. He takes the time to do things right. If you have an older house like ours with cracks and sags in the ceilings and walls, he will leave it looking brand new without a single imperfection and with an absolutely smooth surface of paint. He takes extra special care to ensure that there is never a drop of paint where it should not be, and even if the job has required extensive sanding when he is finished your house will be cleaner than when he started. Junior costs more than the competition, but he is well worth it. We learned this the hard way. We initially went with a cheaper painting company (which, by the way, was highly rated). Boy, was this a BIG MISTAKE! The painters did such a poor job mudding our ceilings that they looked as full of imperfections as before; the paint had that horrible popcorn effect; they got paint all over our stained oak interior trim, and they left the interior of the house coated in a layer of dust from paint and plaster. We called in Junior to fix this mess. All we can say is, "Thank God for Junior!" Do yourself a favor. If you care about your beautiful house, or if you want your house to be beautiful, call Junior and Clean Hands Painting now. ***UPDATE*** I recently (11/27/2019) wrote a stellar review of Junior’s professional, honest, prompt, thorough, and highest quality interior painting, exterior painting, drywall repair, and staining. I would like to add to what I said there by describing the quality of his work on a recent job that involved renovating our oak staircase. The sanding involved the use of both a small electrical sander and hand sanding to ensure that every area of the steps – the tread, riser, newel post, inner and outer string, balusters, and fascia – was completely and evenly sanded. He repaired damage to the wood in various areas of the steps making them look new. We decided to have the treads stained red mahogany and the strings, risers, fascia, and balusters painted black. As usual, Junior used extreme care, including taping all areas that needed to be protected when painting the railing and risers so that the newly stained treads did not get paint on them. The combined effect of the staining and painting was spectacular. The stained treads look rich, even-colored, and like new. The oil-based black paint that was expertly applied to all of the other areas of the stairs highlights the beautiful wood grain. Junior did not leave a single paint drop anywhere, and the lines that divide, for example, the treads and risers, are razor sharp. In sum, if you have oak stairs (or any kind of stairs) that you value and want expertly and beautifully refinished, stained, and/or painted, Junior is your man. I would not trust my stairs to anyone else."

"I had been looking for a furniture restorer to repair a dining room table, a midcentury modern dresser, and also a midcentury modern coffee table. The table had extensive sun damage and the other two pieces were in need of repair and refinishing. After searching numerous home-improvement sites I came across Innovative Design. The majority of the reviews were very good, so I decided to take a chance and call Mr. Schmidt for a free estimate. He arrived promptly and was a very nice older gentleman. I first showed him the dresser and the coffee table and he told my husband and I what he could do to repair them and quoted a price. I then took him into my home to have him look at the dining room table. Upon seeing it, he marveled at how beautiful the table was. It is a unique piece and he was intrigued by the craftsmanship. He looked at every detail of the table and literally crawled underneath to get a good look at the craftsmanship. He gushed at how it was a “beautiful, special piece” and how he would love to take it back to his shop to repair. He stated that he could restore the wood to its original beauty, but was unsure about the inlay on top. He quoted a price which I thought was a bit pricey, but because of what seemed to be a genuine love of furniture and his promise to restore the dining room table, my “pièce de résistance”, I decided it would be worth it to entrust our precious pieces with him. He picked up the pieces on September 4th and we gave him a sizable deposit. Mr. Schmidt stated that the job would take roughly 3 weeks to complete. I didn’t necessarily worry about that because it was early September and I knew my table would be back in time for the holidays. After three days Mr. Schmidt contacted me about the small coffee table. He was having a few issues with the finish, and wanted to know which direction we wanted him to go. We replied back and both parties agreed upon what he would do to repair the coffee table. No problem there. After that I hadn’t heard from him in a while so I emailed him on the 17th to see where he was in the process. He then informed me that the dresser unit had a few issues because it was more scratched than he thought and the stain that he put on was uneven. He told me that he would continue working on it and send me a picture very soon. On September 23 he sent me a picture of the dresser. In all honesty the structure of the dresser was very nice, only problem was he painted all the handles black. The dresser was a wood and wood laminate midcentury brown. I initially told him I wanted it restored to its original appearance, so I was surprised and disappointed by the black handles. When I asked why he painted/stained the handles black, his response was that the wood grain varied so much that the handles stain looked unmatched and the dresser needed some contrast to stand out. I’m all for poetic license, but I’d already told him that I wanted it restored to its original state. This meant NO BLACK HANDLES! He then asked, “Do you want the dresser as is now? I am not able to improve the results.” No, I didn’t want the dresser because that was not what I told him I wanted. At that point, I called to speak to him to let him know that this was not what I wanted. I got his voicemail, so I left a message. The next day he emailed to tell me that he added wood blocks to the two front drawers in an attempt to camouflage the differences. I now had a dresser with black handles and two wooden blocks on each side. To be honest, I truly appreciated him trying to make improvements, but it looked nothing like I expected. I then replied to him and told him to remove the two blocks and to paint the handles brown. He finally did what I requested and sent pictures on the 29th. To his credit, the finished product was beautiful. On October 2nd, Mr. Schmidt emailed me with regard to the coffee table. He informed me that he was “at a loss of what to do with it“. My husband and I gave him some direction, because at that point we just wanted all of our furniture back. He didn’t respond, so we weren’t really sure if he would comply with our requests or what he was thinking. On October 6th, I emailed to find out how things were going with the dining room table and coffee table. I also asked when he could deliver the dresser, as he had stated in an earlier email that he could deliver each piece as he completed them. On October 7th, he responded: “When is a good time and day for you?  I can load up the dresser will need unload help at your end.  The little table is close to finish working on the top everything else is completed.  The dinning room table I will not be able to work on.  The time I have used so far on your projects has far exceeded my time frame.  Did not expect the problems with the dresser unit due to the veneer on the one drawer.  I will return your $600.00 for the partial payment or the table.  Of course all units will be returned to you.  I worked hard and diligently on your units just used enormous time trying to make them nice for you and your husband”. REALLY?!?!? I hired him solely because of all he said he could do to restore my dining room table! We discussed how this was THE main concern and how I wanted it done for the holidays. To have him email me after holding onto the table for a month and then tell me that he is unable to do it is beyond disbelief! If time was a factor he should have made this known early on, so I could remind him of how to prioritize the repairs or perhaps find someone else who could restore it. At this point, I will be hard pressed to get it repaired before Thanksgiving. I truly appreciate the work that was put into our other pieces, and as I stated earlier, the dresser is beautiful. He did a decent enough job on the round coffee table; it is sturdy and looks nice. However, when he dropped it off to our home on October 14th, the paint was still damp and smelled very strong. It is only because the dresser looks nice that, I’m giving him a C. I realize that the entire job took him longer than expected, but I wish that he had communicated this early on. He basically said, “Forget this!” and decided to not complete the job we hired him to do. Meanwhile, my dining room table is still a mess. He could have explained that it would take a little more time, and I even would’ve been OK with him requesting additional funds. Based on how he handled things with my table and the damp paint on the coffee table, I will not be recommending him to anyone. Very disappointing."

"Mike and Crystal were very professional from the first phone contact through the completion of the work. They showed up on time, their work was neat and they worked very efficiently. My windows were in pretty bad shape. They really took their time and prepped them very well which showed in the finished product. When asked to redo or touch up anything it was done without question. In the end we received a very good paint job on a timely basis and at a competitive price. I have already recommended Mike's Painting to others in my neighborhood and would use him again for future painting needs.

"I highly recommend C&D Custom Log Finishing for any repairs you should need for log home repairs-inside or outside. Our home is not your traditional manufactured log home. It was built in 1980 with 250 year old hand hewed logs. I have used C&D Custom Log Finishing for over 10 years now for anything and everything I need. Some logs have had to be replaced in that period of time and Clarence has someone that personally hand hewed the replacement logs and they look just like the original logs. He keeps you informed during the entire process and is always available for whatever comes up. Also, we have developed a great friendship through the years. So if you’re looking for someone for log home repairs do yourself a favor and call Clarence and his crew. You will not be disappointed!!!"

"It went very well. They came and pressure washed the whole house. Took down the rain gutters and masked everything and put two coats to paint on the house and the deck. They did a wonderful job. They were very professional and very nice to work with."

FAQs for exterior home or structure paint or stain projects in Elkin, NC

For aluminum siding, go with a high-quality 100% acrylic exterior paint. Start with an oil-based primer to ensure the finish adheres and shields the metal from oxidation and moisture. The primer seals the surface and provides the acrylic with a surface to grip. Skip latex primers or paints—their reaction with aluminum can trap bubbles and cause early peeling.

How long will painted aluminum siding last?

A well-done paint job on aluminum siding can last around 15 years, making the upfront effort worthwhile. Longevity hinges on solid prep: thoroughly cleaning the surface to remove chalky residue, dirt, and mildew so the new paint can adhere properly. It’s also important to paint when temperatures are between 50°F and 80°F, as extreme heat or cold can affect drying and adhesion. Steer clear of rainy days—moisture under the paint weakens adhesion and speeds up peeling or fading, which can significantly shorten the lifespan of your fresh coat.

Plan on repainting when the finish starts fading or leaves a chalky, white residue on your hand. Check the siding each year; if there’s a powdery residue on your palm, it indicates oxidation is underway on your siding. A fresh coat of paint stops peeling before it starts, boosts curb appeal, and keeps the metal protected.

Spray painting aluminum siding offers significant benefits compared to other application styles. Spray painting delivers even coverage, rapid application, and enhanced adhesion compared to traditional painting methods. This technique ensures every surface is evenly coated, minimizes labor time, and provides a sleek, professional finish that withstands weather and oxidation for lasting results.

The return on investment for aluminum siding is 70%. For example, a $10,000 aluminum siding installation will add $7,000 to your home’s resale value. Regional housing markets, the quality of siding materials, and ongoing upkeep—including repainting and repairs—influence final ROI. Investing in professional installation and regular maintenance ensures you recoup a significant portion of your siding costs when it’s time to sell.

Several materials can replace aluminum siding, each offering unique trade-offs. Vinyl siding requires minimal upkeep and resists fading, lasting up to 30 years. Wood siding provides classic warmth but demands regular painting or sealing. Fiber cement and composite siding offer exceptional durability and design flexibility, requiring minimal maintenance. Brick veneer and stucco create premium, long-lasting exteriors, but they come with higher upfront costs and increased installation complexity.
