Why Charleston Homes Need Exterior Painting 

Curb appeal and structural integrity are top priorities for Lowcountry homeowners. And with Charleston’s humid climate, exteriors take a beating from the elements. Maintaining a fresh coat of exterior paint works wonders, though – enhancing aesthetics while safeguarding your home’s unique exterior against moisture damage, pests, and decay.

As Charleston’s trusted exterior painting contractor for over a decade, we know how rough the weather is on home facades here. We’ve painted countless porch-fronted charmers in notable neighborhoods like Ansonborough, Harleston Village, French Quarter, Elliotborough/Cannonborough, and East Side. 

We also service James Island, West Ashley, Mount Pleasant, and beyond. The historic, coastal charm remains consistent, but the regional architecture varies from Victorian, Colonial Revival, and Georgian styles to traditional Charleston single houses, cottages, and even contemporary builds.

No matter your home’s age or design, the climate here takes a toll. Intense sun, heavy rainfalls, coastal humidity, and even occasional bouts of cold winter weather leave exteriors vulnerable. We specify exterior paints to stand up to it all – enhancing aesthetics while protecting every surface. From thorough prep work to flawless finish coats, we go the extra mile to ensure perfection. Consider us the best house guests your home has ever hosted!

WE NEVER MISS A SPOT

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.

OUR PROCESS

STEP 1

Efficient Arrival & Workspace Setup

We arrive on time, fully equipped to transform your home’s exterior surroundings. After thoroughly scoping out the project, we establish our painting workspace for maximum productivity. This includes laying protective tarps and masking off any adjacent surfaces not being painted.

STEP 2

Pressure Washing & Surface Cleaning

Next, we break out the pressure washers for deep cleaning. We blast away built-up dirt, chalkiness, grime, mildew, and loose paint flakes on siding, brick, trim, fencing – you name it. For stubborn spots, we hand scrub with care. This preps outside surfaces to readily accept fresh paint.

STEP 3

Sealing, Scraping & Sanding

We meticulously seal joints, seams, and openings with top-grade caulk to protect against moisture ingress and pests while promoting paint adhesion. Then we thoroughly scrape and sand to smooth everything out before painting commences. We’ll also spot-prime anything that needs it.

STEP 4

Rotted Wood Swaps & Paint Application

If we discover any warped, rotted, or structurally compromised wood areas, we’ll replace them so your home’s structural integrity stays intact. Quality prep work makes all the difference! With surfaces prepped and ready, we apply premium paints to brush and roll on – ensuring flawless and even coverage on every surface.

STEP 5

Final Touches & Overview

Once painting concludes, we verify the appropriate coating thickness and technique everywhere. After a complete clean-up effort, we lead you on an inspection, addressing any outstanding items before our team packs up.
