"We needed some minor repairs and our guest bathroom repainted, Pathway was great to work with. They clearly explained what repairs would be performed. Listened to what we wanted in colors and showed us several options to stay within our budget. And completed the job within the promised time frame. We will use Pathway in future paint projects."

"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."

"Axel is an expert. Listen to him on the exact paint to use. He did our kitchen cabinets, which look new. They had a difficult rubberized antiqued finish and he conquered it. He will only do a job the right way. Also painted our difficult den and its beautiful."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

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

DIY staining or painting is manageable with proper preparation, including safety measures, necessary tools, and adherence to safe weather conditions for application.

For homes in areas with extreme weather, high heat, or intense sun exposure, high-quality acrylic paint is the best option. Acrylic paint is durable, resistant to both heat and cold, and provides a protective barrier with excellent UV resistance. For best results, look for acrylics that contain natural earth pigments, which are better suited for resisting sun damage. While oil-based paint is also durable, it can be prone to fading in high heat and can become too viscous to apply easily in cold temperatures. Additionally, choosing a neutral or light color like gray, beige, or white can help, as these colors absorb less heat than darker shades.

Deciding whether to stain or paint a pool deck depends on your budget, desired look, and the deck's material. Both options can work. Paint offers a wider variety of color options, provides excellent water resistance, and can last longer. However, it requires a primer and can eventually fade or peel. Stain is often cheaper, easier to apply, and penetrates the wood for a more natural look and longer-lasting finish. It also has great water resistance. The downsides are fewer color options and the need for a sealant. The choice can also depend on the deck material; for example, staining may be a better option for concrete as it bonds well and lasts longer than paint.

Whether you can paint over your existing paint depends on what’s on there. Most of the time, you’ll want to sand down or scrape off the paint that’s currently coating your surface. Epoxy paint, for example, won’t let new paint stick to the surface. Latex paint is more forgiving and will accept a new coat, but a primer is recommended if you’re switching colors.
