PAINTING CONTRACTOR
#1 Local Painting Company Since 1987
THE CAROLINA PAINTING AND PRESSURE CLEANING HISTORY
Kevin Wooten is a second generation painting contractor. He started painting as a young man and was brought into the painting business by his dad, Chuck Wooten. He worked in his dad’s painting company, Metro Painting Contractors, learning to prep, brush, roll, and spray. From middle school through high school, he spent weekends and summer breaks painting new houses, repaints, and commercial buildings. During his summer breaks, he worked full time as a foreman, supervising up to 12 crew members at once. After graduating from Lexington High School, it was a natural progression for Kevin to start his own business.
Since first opening the doors in 1987, Carolina Painting and Pressure Cleaning continues to grow its full-service painting company, focusing on unparalleled customer service. We’re happy to have numerous repeat customers who attest to the quality and service we provide, as well as a staff committed to the highest level of professionalism.

Once we start, we are there until we are finished. The only thing that would affect this is the weather or the weekends.
We use a few different brands of paint because we want to use the best paint for what we are painting. It will be normal to see a couple different brands being used on your paint job. We use Sherwin Williams, Benjamin Moore, Proluxe, PPG, and Zinsser products, to name a few.
We never want you to make it difficult to find the right color. Most all paint stores can match their competitor’s colors. We prefer Sherwin Williams or Benjamin Moore colors but any locally available paint colors are fine. If you are at Lowe’s, get a Valspar color. If you are at Home Depot, get a Behr color. Just get the name, number, and manufacturer so we can match it in the paint we are using.
Sherwin Williams offers a free Virtual Color Consultation with a qualified color consultant. The consultant will provide expert color recommendations, as well as, send you color sample chips.
Before the project starts, we have to have the paint colors. The office will communicate if there is anything you need to do before we arrive.
