Painting Contractor in Charleston, SC

In Charleston's coastal climate, a properly prepared and applied exterior paint job typically lasts five to seven years on most surfaces. Homes closer to the water — on James Island, Isle of Palms, Kiawah Island, or Seabrook Island — may see paint wear faster due to salt air and humidity. Thorough surface prep, including cleaning off salt residue and mildew before painting, is the single biggest factor in how long the finish holds.

Cabinet painting applies a fresh coat of paint to your existing cabinet boxes and doors, updating the color and giving worn surfaces a clean, uniform look. Cabinet refinishing typically involves stripping the existing finish down to bare wood and applying a new stain or clear coat to restore or change the natural wood appearance. Both services start with thorough prep — cleaning, deglossing, and priming — so the finish bonds properly and holds up to daily kitchen use.

During the free estimate, Guilherme Silva walks through the project with you in person, assesses the surfaces to be painted or worked on, identifies any prep needs like wood rot, failed caulk, or damaged drywall, and discusses finish options suited to your home and the local climate. You get a clear scope of work and a written estimate before any commitment is made.

Yes. Before painting begins, we move or cover furniture, protect floors with drop cloths, and mask trim, outlets, and fixtures. Your home is treated with respect throughout the project, and we clean up thoroughly before the final walkthrough.

The main thing homeowners can do is clear personal items, artwork, and small furniture from the rooms being painted. We handle moving larger furniture, covering floors, and masking trim and fixtures. If there are specific items you want left in place, let us know during the estimate and we will work around them.

For most projects, painting is done before new flooring is installed so there is no risk of drips or overspray on finished floors. When siding is being replaced, painting typically follows the siding installation. Guilherme will walk through the sequence with you during the estimate to make sure the order of work makes sense for your specific project.
