"I recently contracted with Charleston Painting Contractors to repair and paint the exterior of my home on Daniel Island. From start to finish, they were consummate professionals. They provided detailed estimates and explanations of how they would approach the job. They effectively partnered with me, providing the tools and expert advice needed to choose the best color palette and layout. As I was arranging this job long distance, the dedication and patience I received were critical throughout the process. While the work was being performed, they kept in close contact, providing regular updates. They were diligent in updating me on the repairs they felt were necessary while providing options and advice for me to consider. The job was completed earlier than expected and the results are amazing. The quality of the work and the attention to detail are beyond my expectations. Their professionalism continued even after the completion of the work. During the final inspection, they made sure I was completely happy with all aspects of the job, even making suggestions for touch ups I wouldn’t have otherwise considered. The work of Charleston Painting Contractors is exceptional. They possess and deliver the talent of true artisans. I will certainly use them again for future needs."

"Andrew and his team were punctual, respectful, and worked tirelessly to ensure that the job was completed to the highest standard. They went above and beyond to ensure that all details were attended to, including minor repairs and touch-ups that were necessary prior to painting. The quality of the workmanship is outstanding, and I have received countless compliments from my neighbors and passersby. The team took great care in ensuring that the surrounding areas were protected during the painting process, and left my property clean and tidy upon completion. Andrew himself was a pleasure to work with. He was communicative, responsive to any questions or concerns, and provided valuable insights and recommendations to ensure that I was completely satisfied with the end result. I highly recommend Andrew and Color Splash Painting for any painting needs. Their attention to detail, professionalism, and commitment to customer satisfaction are truly unmatched. Thank you Andrew and your team for a job well done!"

"My husband and I are new to the area and are so happy to have found Indigo Painters. Chris is so nice and provides amazing customer service. His crew painted the interior of our 1800s Charleston Single and the house looks amazing. Even though we had not moved to the area yet, Chris made sure to keep us updated every step of the way with messages, photos and videos of the project. We look forward to work on more projects with Chris. Highly recommended."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

The staining or painting process involves cleaning the deck, sanding surfaces, applying a primer (if needed), and carefully applying stain or paint for an even, lasting finish.

There are deck restoration products and oil-based wood stains that can help bring back some of the color and shine to your faded Trex decking. However, if your boards are suffering from serious fading due to UV rays or chemical cleaning products, don’t expect miracles. Also, these products are only suitable for use on the older Trex boards, not the capped, second-generation Trex products. 

Generally, these steps are included in exterior house painting:

  • Prepping and protecting the areas not being painted

  • Scraping away loose paint

  • Cleaning off dirt, grease, and debris

  • Caulking gaps and openings

  • Priming with a quality paint primer

  • Painting the prepared areas, including trim and accents with chosen paint finish

  • Adding a second coat

  • Cleaning up the site and disposing of tape, plastic, and drop cloths

A five-gallon bucket of deck stain will cover roughly 875 square feet in a single coat. Actual coverage will vary based on the type of wood you’re staining and the number of coats. If you plan on doing multiple coats, multiply the square footage by the number of coats to calculate how many buckets of stain you’ll need.

Staining a deck is typically less expensive upfront than painting. The cost to stain a deck professionally averages around $850, with most homeowners paying between $550 and $1,250, depending on the deck's size. A DIY staining project can cost less than $100. The cost to paint a deck ranges from $500 to $2,000. While the initial cost of staining is lower, it's important to consider long-term expenses. Paint can last up to 10 years, whereas stain needs to be reapplied every few years, which could lead to higher costs over time.
