LOCAL EXPERTISE
A Clemson painter who knows lake homes.
Clemson is two markets in one — the university-area neighborhoods full of older homes and rental properties, and the lake-house belt that runs across Hartwell and Keowee. The university homes often need prep we can knock out between semesters; we work fast in those windows. The lake homes get the full marine treatment — Sherwin-Williams Emerald exterior on south-facing siding, urethane enamel on dock and boathouse trim, and proper UV-rated stains on cedar shake and exposed wood. We've done waterfront homes from Twin Falls to Issaqueena.

FROM OUR NEIGHBORS
Word travels around here.
Lake Keowee home, lots of UV exposure. They used Sherwin-Williams Emerald on every south wall — finish still looks new after a full year of summer sun.
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.
Hardie siding on our house was peeling badly. Palmetto soft-washed, primed everything, and used Sherwin-Williams Emerald. Curb appeal is night and day.
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.
SERVICE AREA
Proudly serving the Upstate of South Carolina.
We're based in the Upstate and we stay in the Upstate — same-day responses, local references, and a crew that knows the difference between a 1920s Augusta Road bungalow and a Lake Keowee waterfront home.
