"Charleston Painting Contractors contacted me and came out to address my complaints and the following day they spent the entire day repainting the areas I was unhappy with and cleaning up the paint splatters I had previously noted. Everything I pointed out was attended to without asking any questions and they thanked me for letting them come back out to make things right and apologized for my bad initial experience. A lot of companies would not do this so it meant a lot. They obviously care about their customers and the finished job and they want you to be satisfied. ORIGINAL: Overall I am happy with the results but there were a handful of issues I found afterwards. The good part is that the color looks great and the job was finished very quickly. I had a few issues with the finished work such as it looking like certain areas only got one coat of paint, despite paying for 2 coats everywhere. Places like trim and small gaps are easily noticeable that they only got painted once and the old color is visible through. The painters were also a bit messy. There are some paint stains on my unpainted brick and there were paint splatters on my exterior tankless hot water water that I had to scrape off with a credit card to get clean. Also, I requested the conduit to my meter not be painted and some paint got on them because of how close they were to the house. I asked if they could either finish painting them to hide the paint on them or clean the paint off and I was told it was water-based paint and I should be able to clean it off myself. Prepwork doesn't seem like it was done to the extent of what was promised. I was under the impression that everything would be caulked (all trim and any gaps) but I am finding areas that I knew needed to be caulked before the job and never were. Lastly, the job was supposed to be done on a Wednesday and a Thursday and on Thursday no one showed up and I received no phone call. It wasn't until I texted the woman directing the painting crew that she apologized and said her painter didn't show up so they would finish the job on Friday; she thought the office would have called me. I felt like because of this the last half of my job was rushed."

"Hunter and his team did a fantastic sod transformation of my 700+ square foot area where trees were recently removed and grass would barely grow. Hunter and crew have incredible work ethic, and went above and beyond in surface preparation and attention to detail. The price quote was also very fair…hundreds less than the competition. My go-to from now on."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Your tool of choice ultimately comes down to personal preference. Many DIYers prefer applying stain with a lint-free rag, but others stick with a paint brush or a roller. Wipe the stain and work it into the wood, working with and against the grain. If you’re applying multiple coats, allow the stain to dry for around four hours between coats.

It’s a good idea to sand your porch before painting. This will remove loose or chipped paint and debris, and give you a cleaner surface so that your new paint goes on smoothly. But if the existing surface is in good condition, it’s not necessary to sand your porch before you paint.

There are more pros than cons when staining a deck. Deck stain is more affordable than paint, it protects the wood and allows the natural textures to shine through, and it can revive the appearance of your home. However, deck stain also requires prep work (sometimes days or more), carries more upkeep than a painted deck, and can fade over time if not cared for. 

Pricing depends on prep work, paint/stain choice, area size, scaffolding needs, and detailed trim inclusions like precision-balanced windowsills.

Here's the deal with leaving used rags covered in oil-based stain lying around in a pile: Depending on the conditions, these rags can take just an hour or up to a few days to combust. The source of ignition is caused by trapped heat that can be compounded if the rags are near a heat source.
