Painting Services — Lexington & Richland County, SC

Serving homeowners in Lexington, Columbia, West Columbia, Cayce, Irmo, Chapin, Gilbert, Blythewood, Pelion, Swansea, and surrounding communities in Lexington and Richland Counties, SC.

A quality paint job protects your home and transforms how it looks and feels. A poor one peels, fades, and costs more to correct than it would have cost to do correctly the first time. Ole South Roofing & Construction provides professional interior and exterior painting services throughout the Midlands — with proper surface preparation, quality materials, and clean execution.



We are licensed, insured, and based in Pelion, SC. Ole South is owned by Army veteran Brian Jolly and led in the field by George Boulware, whose 50 years of South Carolina construction experience includes understanding exactly how our climate affects exterior paint systems over time.

services we provide:

Interior Painting

We paint interior rooms, ceilings, trim, doors, and cabinetry throughout Lexington and Richland County homes. Every interior painting project includes proper surface preparation — filling, sanding, priming where needed — because paint applied over inadequate prep fails early. We protect your floors and furnishings, work cleanly, and leave your home ready to use when we are done.


Exterior Painting

Exterior painting in South Carolina requires more than choosing a color. Our climate — intense UV exposure, high humidity, and frequent rain — demands proper surface preparation, appropriate primer selection, and paint products formulated for our conditions. We assess your exterior surfaces, address any underlying issues before painting, and apply products that will hold up in the Midlands.


Color Consultations

Not sure what direction to go? We offer color consultations to help you make decisions you will be satisfied with long term — for both interior and exterior projects.


Painting as Part of a Larger Project

If you are undertaking a remodel or exterior renovation, painting can be integrated into the broader project scope. We coordinate the sequencing so painting happens at the right point in the project.

Why Surface Preparation Is the Difference

Most painting failures — peeling, bubbling, early fading — are preparation failures, not paint failures. Ole South does not skip preparation steps to reduce job time. We clean, scrape, sand, repair, and prime surfaces before any finish coat goes on. This is the difference between a paint job that looks good in photos and one that still looks good in five years.

Frequently Asked Questions — Painting

  • How long does interior painting take?

    A single room typically takes one to two days including prep and finish coats. Whole-home interior painting projects run one to two weeks depending on size and scope.

  • How long does exterior painting take?

    Most exterior painting projects on Midlands homes run three to five days depending on size, surface condition, and weather. We do not paint in conditions that will compromise adhesion or finish quality.

  • Can I hire Ole South for painting only, without a larger remodeling project?

    Yes. Painting is available as a completely standalone service.

  • What paint products do you use?

    We use quality products appropriate for each application and discuss product selection with you during the estimate, including sheen levels and finish options for different surfaces and conditions.
