The fastest way to make a good house look loved again
Interior and exterior painting with real prep underneath it, clean lines where the colors meet, and paint chosen to survive lowcountry sun and salt air. Color is the easy part. We handle the part that makes it last.
Inside, outside, or the whole thing
Interior painting
Walls, ceilings, trim, and doors, cut in by hand and finished clean, with your furniture covered and your house left the way we found it, only better.

- Trim, doors & baseboards
- Careful prep, cleaner lines
Exterior painting
Siding, trim, shutters, and porches, pressure washed and properly prepped first, painted in products built for coastal weather. This is where prep is everything, and we'll show you ours.

- Porches, doors & railings
- Coastal-grade paint that lasts
The prep is the paint job
Anyone can make a wall look good for a season. The difference between paint that peels in two years and paint that holds for ten is everything that happens before the first coat, so here's exactly what we do.
Wash
Pressure wash the exterior so paint bonds to the surface, not to the salt and mildew sitting on it.
Scrape & sand
Failing paint comes off, edges get feathered smooth. Paint over flake and you've painted a flake.
Repair & caulk
Soft wood flagged honestly, gaps caulked, nail holes filled. If we find rot, you see the photo first.
Prime
Bare and repaired spots primed so the finish coat grips evenly and the color reads true.
Two coats, clean lines
Cut in by hand, rolled even, and inspected in good light before we call it done.
Picking colors for lowcountry light
Our sun is bright, our air is salty, and both have opinions about your paint. A few things worth knowing before you fall in love with a swatch.
Sun fades the bold ones
Deep, saturated colors fade fastest in coastal sun. If you want drama, we'll steer you to pigments and product lines that can hold it.
Light changes everything
A swatch indoors is a different color at noon on your south wall. We'll sample the real contenders on the real house before you commit.
Quality paint is cheaper
The good gallon costs more and the cheap gallon costs twice, because you'll buy it again in three years. On the coast this math is not close.
Can't decide? Good.
That means you care. Bring us the shortlist and we'll tell you what each one will actually do on your house, in your light, next to your roof.
Painting questions, answered plainly
How much does it cost to paint a house in the Beaufort area?
It depends on size, height, surface condition, and how much prep the house needs, and prep is the honest variable, because a well-kept house and a peeling one are different jobs in the same square footage. You'll get a written number after we walk the house, and it holds.
How often does an exterior need repainting here?
Coastal homes generally want paint more often than inland ones, because sun and salt air work on the finish year round. Quality product on proper prep buys you the long end of the range, which is exactly why we're stubborn about both.
Do you fix rotten wood and damaged siding before painting?
Yes, and this is where hiring an exterior contractor instead of just a painter pays off. We repair or replace the bad wood first, show you photos of what we found, and then paint, because paint over rot is a bandage on a problem that's still growing. If there's more siding work than paint work, our siding page is the deeper story.
Can you paint the interior while we're living in the house?
That's how most of our interior work happens. We work room by room, cover everything, keep the walking paths clear, and leave each space livable at the end of the day. You'll smell fresh paint, not chaos.
What paint brands do you use?
Quality lines from the major manufacturers, chosen for the surface and the exposure rather than whatever's on sale. The specific products go in your written estimate so you know exactly what's going on your house.
Will you photograph the prep work like you do with roofs?
Yes. The prep is the part of a paint job that disappears the moment the finish coat goes on, which is exactly why we document it. You'll see the washing, the scraping, the repairs, and the priming, so you know what you paid for is actually under there.
Tell us what's going on with the house. You'll get a straight answer.
No pressure, no door-knocker script, no number that grows. Just two contractors who will tell you what it needs and what it costs.
