Charleston’s balmy weather allows gorgeous Magnolia trees to thrive, but it also takes a major toll on the wood elements of local homes. From moisture damage to pest infestations, houses here require vigilant maintenance to remain intact. That’s where That 1 Painter comes in – our carpentry services reinforce vulnerable areas to keep your home looking its best for decades.
As painters, we know attention to detail ensures a quality paint job that enhances the beauty of your Charleston home. But simply slapping a fresh coat of paint over damaged or decaying wood is like putting lipstick on a pig – it may look alright for a hot second, but flaws eventually bleed through. Instead, we address underlying issues through masterful carpentry before painting. Why choose that 1 painter for your carpentry needs?
Some painters cut corners by temporarily masking damage to get the job done quickly. But such band-aid solutions never last in Charleston’s climate. At That 1 Painter, our comprehensive approach transforms the look and longevity of your unique property.
From historic French Quarter row houses to sprawling James Island plantation-style homes, we have experience with the intricate woodwork and unique profiles that define Lowcountry architecture. Trust us to preserve the authentic charm that drew you to the Holy City in the first place.
Quality craftsmanship is all about perfecting the detail work, and we train our painters to pay extra attention to the areas other painters miss. We take pride in finishing every job to perfection.

Before pulling out our tools, we’ll walk the property to identify potential problem areas vulnerable to Charleston’s humidity, storms, and pests.
Once we determine the necessary repairs, it’s time to prep the site for surgery. We’ll first set up safety measures like dust barriers and warning signs. Then, we’ll remove irreparable wood, taking care to salvage vintage details for replication when possible. We’ll also seal off access points to prevent further critter destruction – no more unexpected guests!
Here is where the magic happens! Using premium woods or historically accurate materials, we’ll replace damaged sections to match existing profiles or create custom new elements. Our carpenters have mastered everything from intricately carved porch décor to a basic picket fence. While paying homage to traditional styles, we also incorporate modern reinforcements like copper flashing to promote longevity.
After the sawdust settles, we’ll polish the fresh woodwork with rock-solid sealants. Based on your home’s unique climate exposure, we’ll apply marine varnish, penetrating oil, or other protection from cupping, checking, and decay. Then we’ll buff any surfaces getting painted later for an ultra-smooth finish.
Before calling it a day, we scrutinize every detail to ensure perfection. We’ll also tidy up any work mess, leaving only pristine new carpentry behind.
We always deliver transformative work from professionals that generate a whole lot of joy. No job is too big or too small to provide excellence in quality.
Paint is messy, but your experience shouldn’t be. We believe in cleaning up after ourselves, just like any good house guest should. We start with proper prep and end with thorough cleanup.
We do everything from start to finish on time while communicating with you throughout the entire project. If the details or scope of work change, we always communicate how and when things will get done.
We offer upfront and honest pricing without any hidden fees. Rest assured, you will get what you pay for. Above all else, we prioritize giving you the best experience and highest-quality service.
Certainly! We work closely with specialty suppliers to source consistent wood types and profiles for seamless repairs. We can recreate ornate Victorian gingerbread trim, handsome heart pine flooring, or stately cypress ceiling planks. Take comfort knowing we won’t deface your home’s irreplaceable heritage.
We support shifting pier foundations using helical steel piers secured deep into bedrock. We also sister deteriorating floor joists and subflooring to provide rigid stability. These fortifications are subtly integrated so as not to detract from historic architecture.
We begin by comprehensively eliminating active termite colonies and establishing barrier treatments. Then, we incorporate smart design features like copper flashing, expanded lattice, and cedar trim to discourage future invasions. We also apply borate solutions to repel ants, wood-boring beetles, and other crawling critters looking to move in.
Absolutely. We install closed-cell foam insulation within cavities for homes in low-lying areas to deter moisture accumulation during storms or high tides. We also craft rain diversion channels along the perimeter to prevent flooding against the foundation. Most importantly, we use only water-resistant building materials resistant to Charleston’s salty, humid environment.
Each home presents unique demands based on age, previous patching, accessibility, and client desires. But our crews work swiftly and efficiently – usually wrapping up medium-size projects within two weeks without compromising quality craftsmanship. We stick to the schedule provided during our consultation to minimize disruption time.
All our work comes with a three-year warranty, providing extra protection should peeling, bubbling, cracking, or splitting occur due to improper prep or application on our part.
Even better? Our warranty is transferable between homeowners.
