Painting done right,

Camden · Lugoff · Elgin · South Carolina

I'm Austin. I run Refresh Painting out of Camden. Interiors, exteriors, cabinets, decks — and I do the prep work right before any paint goes on. That's the difference between a paint job that holds up and one that doesn't.

Estimates are free, and pricing is fair and straightforward.

What we do

Five things, done right. If you're not sure whether your job fits, call and ask — I'll tell you straight.

Vaulted great room painted blue-gray with white trim and French doors
01 — Interiors

Interior painting

Rooms, hallways, ceilings, closets — tall vaulted walls included. Prep first, then clean lines where the wall meets the trim. Got wood trim you want to keep? We paint around it and leave it exactly like it was.

Carport with walls and ceiling painted clean white
02 — Exteriors

Exterior painting

Siding, trim, doors, shutters, porches, and carports. Exterior paint takes a beating from the heat and sun here, so the prep matters. One front door in gloss black can change the whole front of a house.

Kitchen with cabinets refinished in white, dark granite counters, and blue-gray walls
03 — Cabinets

Cabinet refinishing

Before you price new cabinets, look at this. Doors off, sanded down, primed, and sprayed. Same kitchen, different room — big kitchens and small ones get the same treatment.

House with clean siding and natural wood steps after pressure washing
04 — Pressure washing

Pressure washing

Houses, decks, and driveways. Siding that's looking tired and gray usually isn't worn out — it's just dirty. The wood steps on this house were the worst of it, and they came back clean.

05 — Decks & fences

Deck & fence staining

Sun and rain wear stain down until the wood's got nothing left protecting it. We strip what's failing, let the wood dry out right, then stain it. Fences too — a tired gray fence doesn't have to stay that way.

Bedroom wall with old wallpaper stripped off, ready for patching and primer
Also — The unglamorous stuff

Wallpaper removal & prep

Old wallpaper on every wall? We strip it, patch the walls up, prime, and paint. Peeling paint gets bound down and sealed, not just painted over and hoped for the best.

How a job goes

No surprises. Same order, every job.

1

Come take a look

You call or text. I come out, look at the job in person, and give you a free quote — fair and straightforward.

2

Prep first

Patch, sand, strip, prime — whatever the surface needs. Furniture and floors get covered before anything opens.

3

Paint

Clean lines, coats that cover, and the color you picked — the way it should look in full daylight.

4

Clean up

Tape off, covers up, room back to a room. You shouldn't be able to tell we were there except for the paint.

I run Refresh Painting right here in town

My name's Austin. Refresh Painting is my business, based in Camden, and when you call 803-572-6042 you get me — not a call center, not a salesman.

I grew up around this work. Prep is the part nobody sees, and it's the part that decides whether a paint job is still holding up a few years from now. So that's where the time goes: strip, patch, sand, prime — then paint.

Single room or the whole house, a front door or a full set of kitchen cabinets — if it needs paint around Camden, Lugoff, or Elgin, I'll come look at it and quote it free.

Questions people ask

Do estimates really cost nothing?

That's right — estimates are free. Call or text 803-572-6042, I'll come take a look at the job, and you'll get a straightforward price. No pressure either way.

What areas do you cover?

Camden, Lugoff, and Elgin, plus the surrounding Kershaw County area. If you're a little outside that, call and ask — if I can get to you, I will.

Is refinishing my cabinets worth it over buying new?

If your cabinets are solid and you like the layout, usually yes. We take the doors off, sand them down, prime, and spray them. You keep your kitchen and it looks like a different room — without pricing a full set of new cabinets.

Will you paint over my wood trim?

Only if you want me to. Plenty of rooms look right with the wood left exactly like it was — we paint the walls and cut clean lines where the paint meets the wood. Your call, and I'll tell you what I'd do.

Do you take small jobs?

Yes. A single front door, a set of shutters, one bedroom, a closet — small jobs are welcome. One door in gloss black changes the whole front of a house.

What about old wallpaper?

We strip it, patch the walls up, prime, and paint. It's tedious work, but painting over wallpaper you can already see peeling is just borrowing trouble.
