Charles ton's coastal climate is one of the harshest environments for exterior paint. Salt air, intense UV rays, high humidity, and tropical storms can break down paint in as little as three to five years without the right products and preparation. Our exterior painting process begins with a thorough power wash, followed by caulking, sanding, priming, and two finish coats of weather-resistant paint rated for humid, coastal environments. We work throughout Charleston, Mount Pleasant, Summerville, James Island, West Ashley, and surrounding communities.
