"Drew was absolutely terrific! He removed wallpaper and painted a bedroom, two staircases, and hallways upstairs and down in my historic home. Older homes have their quirks, and mine is no exception. Drew met these challenges with good cheer and quickly found effective solutions. He is an independent worker, completely trustworthy, and very easygoing. I recommend him unconditionally. I can't imagine a better painter to have in my home."

"Jillian was absolutely fantastic to work with!  She is an amazing talent and one of the hardest workers I have ever met.  First, she was very responsive to my inquiry and subsequent calls.  Very nice change from other contractors that I contacted for my renovation project (they were not hired).  She went well above and beyond what I expected.  She helped me pick out all the colors and even met me at Lowe's to help pick out matching tile!  She also took the time to meet with my daughter to determine exactly what she wanted on her walls.  Additionally, she made an extra trip a month after she was complete to paint my baseboards (installed later due to flooring replacement), even though I said I didn't expect her to do that. <br /> One quick anecdote.  I had a huge pile of flooring that was in the way of her setting up to paint the living room ceiling.  I told her to let me know when she needed it moved and I would get it out of her way.  She is petite.  She works alone.  I checked in a day later and the wood was moved and the ceiling painted!  <br /> I can unequivocally recommend Jillian.  Her professionalism, artistic talent, and work ethic are all excellent. <br /> <br /> <br />"

"Jeff did an outstanding job!!! I hired Jeff without even meeting him since I was still out of town and wanted my home painted prior to move in. We discussed everything over the phone. He was very professional and very trustworthy. His attention to detail is immaculate! I have never seen such an amazing job in painting as his work. He even accepted my delivery packages and mail as they came. I would definitely hire Jeff again for future jobs. Thank you Jeff!"

"Called them for an estimate, showed up next day. Scheduled work for two weeks off. Due to weather they called and asked if OK to do our job a week early. Said AOK. They showed up at 0800 and started work. Worked for two days to complete job. Results are outstanding. Will have them back for more painting. <br />"

"The Holderby Brothers run a good business and they seek long-term relationships with homeowners.  This is a good approach and results in a better understanding of the needs of the client.  In my case, I have had them do "handy" work like handing new lights, installing custom chair rails and wainscoting, as well as larger projects like my Stacked Stone custom wall.  They come out a walk the space, which is a process for homeowner to present vision and needs, budget, etc.  Then they provide a written quote with materials, labor and price.  Be sure to ask for separate quotes if you have them look at multiple projects in same visit.  I liked this approach because I was able to prioritize and budget for each project and then decide which ones to start and when. <br /> They are very low-pressure, and will offer flexibility to allow you to bring your own products or have them procure the materials. One example of this was in doing the concrete backer drywall for my wall.  They recommended that, and the result is a sturdier installation!  The owners are very involved, if they use full-time workers or if the special need is to bring in a sub-contractor.   <br /> They are very comfortable with current technology...you can sign things electronically, get receipts to your email, send photos of your desired look (i used a lot of pinterest photos,,,haha), and have an office staff that is available and responsive. <br /> Overall, great company. <br />"

"He had a pretty good Angie's List rating which is why I decided to talk with them. The owner seemed pretty knowledgeable and suggested a kind of paint which would replace vinyl siding with a 30 year guarantee on the paint. I did not really look into it and decided not to do it but if I could have got something for the price I could spend I may have used it. He seemed up front and pretty professional. I will have him bid again in the future."

FAQs for exterior home or structure paint or stain projects in Emerald Isle, 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.
