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.

"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."

"Amazing work on a wide range of painting projects, both inside and outside. CPC did amazing work on 2 carpentry projects in addition to the painting work, and the quality of everything they touched was fantastic. Pricing was competitive (lower than I expected). We have referred Chuck’s team to a dozen friends already, and they will be my first call next time we need any more painting work!"

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 his company had to replace ceiling in bathroom and utility room and patch drywall behind hot water heater and in spare room. They also painted all the walls and ceiling in utility, bathroom and spareroom. They were extremely professional and very friendly. He gave me a quote and stuck to it and completed the work on time. I highly, highly recommend them ! I will be using them again soon to do some other projects!!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Two coats of stain are ideal for the best protection and aesthetic appeal. However, if your decking is made of particularly dense hardwood, you may only need one coat. If you want an intense color, two coats are ideal.

It’s necessary for paint to completely dry before exposure to rain, and that drying time varies by the type of paint used. Oil-based paint takes 6 to 8 hours to dry on average, meaning that’s the minimum time needed between the last brush stroke and the first raindrop. Latex paint dries faster at around 1 hour, and acrylic paint is even quicker, usually drying in about 30 minutes. If rain is in the forecast, check the paint manufacturer's details before laying on a new coat. 

Pressure-treated wood lasts at least 10 years, but with the right care and treatment, it can last as long as 40 years. Painting the boards is one way to increase the lifespan of pressure-treated wood. The layer of paint provides extra protection for the wood against the exterior elements and insects.

The best temperature to paint a pool deck is between 50 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit, because many paints and sealers require temperatures warm enough for the chemical reaction to take place for proper curing. The paint should not be allowed to freeze, and temperatures above 90 degrees can cause the paint to dry too quickly, also preventing the chemical reaction from following through to completion.

Decks can either be stained or painted, depending on your preference. Typically stain is less expensive than paint, but paint offers more color options that might better match your aesthetic. No matter what you choose, both options protect your deck from outdoor elements like rain, snow, and general wear and tear.
