What Sets our Painters Apart
Experienced Teams
Our team boasts decades of residential painting experience, allowing us to offer a premier painting experience on every one of our jobs.
High Quality Paints and Caulking
We know Charleston and what it takes for a job to last. Because Charleston has dramatic weather swings, conventionally applied paint and caulking has a tendency to crack and break. The salt in the air and the rapid changing of weather sometimes within 24-48 hours means that if you want a quality paint job you must invest in materials designed to stretch quickly and rapidly alongside your home. This, and so many other factors, are why Wade Paint Co is chosen so often for historic homes and premiere painting projects.
Contractors Who Message Back
It is not easy to secure an estimate in Charleston. Contractors have a tendency to forget to call back or, while a job is ongoing, give you regular updates. We know that our business is as successful as our last customer which is why you will find that you can reach us, our team, and watch your paint job be ccompleted on schedule.
Free Estimates & Fair Pricing
Part of hiring a good partner is knowing exactly what the cost is going to be at the end. We provide written estimates onsite, no hidden fees, and stand by both the quality of our work and the transparency of our quote.
Licensed, Insured, Bonded
Never bring a painter onsite who can leave you and your family in harm’s way. Having proper insurance protects both of us and allows us to grant our customers peace of mind. We will always carry insurance across all projects.
Exterior Painter Services
Our exterior painting service is designed for Charleston’s rapid weather and salty air. Our house painting team includes a full time carpenter so we can offer more than simply sanding, caulking, priming, and painting. Our carpenter is frequently helping historic homes restore railings, windows, porches, decks, and front doors. We specifically use pressure treated, kiln dried lumber on all woodwork because we know that new paint doesn’t sit as well or as long when you use cheaper materials. Our caulking is top of the line because we know that homes bend when the weather changes and only the top of the line caulking bends enough with it not to crack. We are frequently hired to work on large Mount Pleasant and Kiawah Island estates as well as residential Charleston classics downtown. We have seen homes be completely revitalized by proper preparation and the right paint which is why we don’t cut corners. We have worked on houses in all states of disrepair – our goal is to make you feel like it’s new.
What makes our painting experience truly superior to the rest of Charleston’s House Painters is the detail we take to prepare the house, protect the assets, and apply the coats professionally.

Commercial Painting
Having your business painted is one of the most popular requests we get at Wade Paint Co. Commercial painting typically includes a fantastic combination of exterior and interior painting. These types of projects bring their own challenges in the form of flexible scheduling, high ceilings, and often heavy equipment. Wade Paint Co. painters bring the right materials and experience needed to deliver quality work in even the most precarious working environments.
We have experience painting laboratories, schools, hospitals, restaurants, businesses, industrial facilities, and apartment buildings. As painting professionals, we do more than just painting; we even perform some handyman and interior design duties.
At the end of every job we haul away all the trash and junk ourselves or work with someone like Charleston Junk Hauler for the much bigger stuff.

House Painting FAQ's
How much do painters in Charleston charge to paint a house?
Charleston has a huge range when it comes to the price and quality of your house painter. The price of your home depends largely on the materials being used, the square footage of your home, and the experience of the painters. Many painters with no insurance or experience will offer rock bottom rates. In Charleston with the salty air and large weather swings the job delivered by those painters only looks good until the first winter when the homes expand and the cheap paint and caulking crack.
The best way to get an accurate price for your house is to schedule an in person painting estimate so that your house can be measured and a quote can be created that is in line with your expectations. Every quote should be detailed enough that you know exactly much each line item is.
Do interior house painters move furniture?
Some interior house painters move furniture. If you require painters to move your furniture for you please let us know during the estimating process, and it’ll be no problem! Usually, we’ll assume that you can move the furniture yourself unless you state otherwise. Moving furniture may require extra manpower depending on the size of the furniture so we want to staff your job appropriately to progress smoothly.
Do you have experience with Charleston historic homes?
Yes, we have experience working on some of the oldest homes in Charleston. Some of our projects are on Tradd St downtown, Folly Beach, Kiawah, and Isle of Palms. We are proud to be the painting company of choice for many historic home owners living in Charleston, West Ashley, Sullivans Island, Daniel Island, Goose Creek, Summerville, Mount Pleasant, Ladson, Wadmalaw Island, and Kiawah Island, and have even worked on incredible historic homes for the Preservation Society of Charleston.
How to negotiate with house painters?
What we’ve found is that Charleston is full of some of the most loving and generous customers you can find. Sometimes it’s tough to get everything you want within the budget you have, and that’s why we work hard to come into each job with an open mind and clear expectations. On every job, we make sure the customer has a line-by-line quote of everything from any remodeling tasks to the color palette decisions on a single piece of paper. If it turns out to be more than you budgeted, there are simple things you can do to lower the quote. One common one is for the homeowner to complete. the power washing or removing the painting of the garage doors. For exterior jobs, if you choose a color that has the walls and eaves the same color, it costs less money. Those extra tasks can be completed easily by a homeowner, lowering the cost of the job itself. Transparency is the only way to get 5-star reviews, and that’s why we place such an emphasis on it.
Can my general contractor paint?
Some Contractors paint. All contractors say they paint. As professional painters, we have seen levels of quality across projects. If you want to ensure your home has the highest-value paint job that lasts the longest then we recommend having a professional painter like us do the house painting instead of a conventional general contrator.
Do I need any type of permit or permission before I paint?
In general in Charleston you do not need a permit or permission to start painting. Those rules change in certain HOA’s like Dunes West or Seabrook Island who may have more strict rules based on the community building standards.
