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 and Cleo did a great job. Thoroughly prepped, primed and painted (2 coats) walls and ceiling. Completed in one day including clean-up. Excellent quality at a reasonable price. Would definitely rehire Alex and team for any painting project and probably anything else he would agree to do!"

Our ultimate goals are to ensure 100% customer satisfaction, to become the premier painting service in the Charleston tri-county area, and to expand our reach while maintaining the highest standards of quality and opportunity for both our customers and our team. How We Got Started I chose to work in this industry because Painting is one of the quickest and most transformative ways to enhance homes and improve our customers' lives.. We started in this industry in 2020. We describe our business as Up and coming Community Involvement BNI - Business Networking International Community Participation How do you want to be remembered? By always seeking to leave people, situations, and circumstances better than how I found them.

"Jonah and the rest of the team at Pathway Home Painting and Improvements really knocked it out of the park on a project for me. Jonah came out to my home and really spent the time going over what I wanted done and made great recommendations on what to do as well as color and finish suggestions as well. We were super happy with the time he spent with us before the project and that made the whole job run super smoothly. When everything was painted Jonah came in and walked the entire project with us again to make sure that we were absolutely satisfied with the work that him and his team did. I have a very good eye for detail and can usually find a missed spot or two by contractors and I am proud to say that there was not a single spot that I could find that was not 100% perfect and believe me I tried. I am super glad that we chose a quality contractor at a fair price. I am itching for them to come out and stain my fence and pergola next."

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."

Exterior Painting questions, answered by experts

Yes, it is advisable to prime a driveway before painting. Primer serves as a preparatory step, promoting better paint adhesion to the surface, enhancing durability, and ensuring a smoother, more even finish. Priming is essential for concrete driveways as they are porous and absorb paint unevenly without proper priming. Skipping this step may result in a less durable and less aesthetically pleasing paint job, requiring more frequent repainting.

The best time to tip a painter is after the job is complete. Alternatively, you can buy the painters lunch or coffee during the job.

Yes, but you’ll need to make sure that the old exterior paint is in good condition. Before painting over the old paint, clean the surface thoroughly with a pressure washer. If you are opting to paint a lighter color over a darker one, you might need to apply a tinted primer so that the old paint color doesn’t show through.

Laminate countertops are known for their smooth texture. While this makes cleaning them easy, it can also make it difficult for paint to adhere without a few preparation steps. To get the paint to stick to the laminate, you should thoroughly clean the surface and then lightly sand it with high-grit sandpaper. After sanding, use a tack cloth to remove any traces of dust.

Painting over cracks without repairing them first will simply lead to needing to fix them later. They will reappear in short order. Usually, just a bit of spackle and a putty knife before painting will do the trick. However, if there are significant cracks, find the source of the problem and fix it before moving forward.
