WHAT'S INCLUDED

Exterior painting that holds up to Carolina weather.

A South Carolina exterior takes a beating — UV, humidity, pollen, and the occasional pop-up storm. We don't just spray paint over old paint and hope. Every Palmetto exterior gets washed, scraped, sanded, caulked, and primed before the first coat of finish goes on. We use Sherwin-Williams Emerald and Duration on siding, premium oil-bond primers on bare wood, and acrylic enamels on trim and shutters. Two full coats. Hand-brushed where the eye sees it. The result is a finish that stays sharp through five Columbia summers — not two.

  • Soft-wash siding, brick, and stucco
  • Scrape, sand, and feather failing paint
  • Caulk gaps, replace rotten trim, prime bare wood
  • Two coats of premium Sherwin-Williams finish
  • Trim, shutters, doors, and porches
  • Daily cleanup, ladders down by 6pm
  • Final walk-through and warranty

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.

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.
Sarah B.Irmo, SC

Wraparound porch and detached garage — they handled both flawlessly. Crew was respectful, on time, and cleaned up every night before they left. Highly recommend.

Old bungalow, lots of lead paint to deal with. They handled the lead-safe prep professionally and the new exterior color looks period-correct. Worth the cost.

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.

Outside this list? Call us anyway — we travel for the right project.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Questions, answered straight.

A 2,500-sq-ft exterior typically runs $4,500–$8,500 depending on substrate (vinyl, Hardie, brick, stucco), prep needs, and trim count. Bare-wood prep, lead-safe work, and rotten-trim replacement add line items.
