Toppainting and plastering inc, we already have over 15 years of experience at painting , decorating and bathroom renovation I worked for 5 years in London,and my last 10 years in Massachusetts and South Carolina, What made us move to this beautiful city SC is the lack of qualified labor and qualified professionals and that is why we are here to deliver the best to each client. where we paint a house with a high finish and quality. I have a team of professional painters who all work under my supervision so that together with my crew we can offer guaranteed quality work. I would like to explain a little about the way we do exterior and interior painting. Pressure Wash Exterior JoMaxx, Bleach, Water, TSP, and AJAX. This solution is made to kill mold and mildew. Cleaning with bleach alone only dyes the mold and mildew and then forces the spore further into the surface. The addition of TSP helps remove oxidation and ensure a strong bond between the surface and the base coat. The addition of soap helps the chemical mix stick to the sides, allowing it to be the muscle that works the surface and allows for an easy lower pressure rinse. My method of extensive prep start with proper cleaning. Trench Perimeter and protect surrounding areas, as needed with plastic and/or tarps. Paper may be used on concrete walkways. Wire brush rusty and/or exposed nail heads, both in the siding and trim/trim accents. Set the nail. Spot prime each set nail with Rust Inhibitive Oil Primer, twice. This will encapsulate the surface rust and not allow it to continue the corrosion process. Repair the set hole. Repairs should be made with exterior grade spackling compound or wood filler. Sand repairs until smooth. Spot prime said repairs with an exterior grade multi surface primer. All of our internal work is done with festool machine, so that we minimize as much dust às possible and we like working with festool for the quality and finish these machines give to us

"Alex was so great! I now have beautiful smooth ceilings. Set up and clean up were quick and carefully done. He even dusted! In a word, I would say his work is impeccable!"

Our business offers Interior & Exterior Painting, our prices will depend on the clients budget and how much work the clients is giving us. I’ve been working in Painting for 13 years, with my partner, she makes sure the area I’m working with it’s clean for the client, and will make sure the area it’s clean after I’m done working.

"Good communication, did what he said he would do, worked diligently wasting no time, and the work quality was very good. His team was careful to protect floors, furniture, and fixtures from paint and dust and cleaned up well each day. They were the neatest housepainters I have ever hired. I am going to hire them again for more painting that I need done in the near future."

Painting questions, answered by experts

While paint drying smoothly on a wall is ideal, a can full of dry paint is not. To open a can of dry paint, you’ll need a tool with a sharp edge, such as a utility knife or a box cutter. Take your tool and score the area where the lid meets the can to break through the dried-up paint. Then, use a paint can opener or a flathead screwdriver to pry the lid open and check the state of the contents. For smaller cans with plastic lids, you can run the top under hot water to loosen the lid. 

The heaviest paint when dry is paint that has a thick pigment and additives like sand or some other aggregate. Oil-based paints can take the longest to dry because of their thicker pigments and higher densities, while water-based paints might be lighter when dry because the weight of the water reduces as it evaporates from the paint.

Most bathroom walls will require two coats of paint, as this ensures proper coverage. If you’re painting over a darker color with a lighter color, you may need additional coats. If you’re just refreshing with the same shade, one coat of paint is usually fine. It’s a good idea to put down one to two coats of primer before painting to ensure the best results. This can also cut down on the need for additional coats if you’re painting over a darker color.

If you skip using a primer before painting brick, you risk ending up with a blotchy paint job that won’t last as long. Because of the natural variations in brick, paint can adhere and dry unevenly to different spots. When you use a primer, you put a neutralizing layer between the brick and the paint, evening the texture and color. Without a good primer, paint can also flake off in spots, come out blotchy, and wear away more easily.

Choosing the right paint color for a major investment like painting the exterior brick on your house can be a daunting task. Perhaps the most important thing is to find painted brick houses that you like and replicate the look by researching their colors and asking the homeowners for the paint color code. If all else fails, white-painted brick is a timeless, classic look that is unlikely to go out of style.
