LOCAL EXPERTISE
A Chapin painter who knows Lake Murray homes.
Lake Murray homes get hammered by sun, water reflection, and seasonal humidity that's harder on paint than almost any inland exposure. We use Sherwin-Williams Emerald exterior on every Chapin lake home — it's formulated specifically for high-UV waterfront exposure. Boathouses, docks, and lakeside trim all get the same wash-and-treat prep so mildew doesn't come through the new finish. Inside, the open-plan vaulted lake homes common around Chapin call for careful work on the high cuts — we use stilts, not corner-cutting.

FROM OUR NEIGHBORS
Word travels around here.
I've had three painters out here over fifteen years. Palmetto is the only one I'll call again. They prepped the cedar siding properly — the others just sprayed and ran.
The crew showed up when they said they would, covered every inch of furniture, and the cut lines on the trim are sharper than the original builder's. Two years on, still looks brand new.
Cabinets came back looking like brand-new furniture. They warned me upfront it would take a week — it took a week, exactly. Honest people, real craftsmen.
They Hardie siding on our house was peeling badly. Palmetto soft-washed, primed everything, and used Sherwin-Williams Emerald. Curb appeal is night and day.
We had a builder-grade home that needed a real paint job. The two-coat finish they put down looks like a different house. Foreman was on-site every day, very communicative.
Wraparound porch and detached garage — they handled both flawlessly. Crew was respectful, on time, and cleaned up every night before they left. Highly recommend.
SERVICE AREA
Proudly serving the Columbia metro.
We're based in Columbia and we stay in Columbia — same-day responses, local references, and a crew that knows the difference between a 1950s Forest Acres ranch and a new build in Lake Carolina.
