South Carolina Commercial & Industrial Painting

RSP Painting is the undisputed leader in commercial and industrial painting across the state of South Carolina. From the massive automotive manufacturing plants of the Upstate (Greenville/Spartanburg), to the historic, picturesque streets of Charleston, and the booming coastal resorts of Myrtle Beach, we deliver elite asset protection to every corner of the Palmetto State.

As one of the largest self-performing commercial painting companies in the USA, generating over $8 million annually, we have the specialized equipment, extreme insurance coverage, and 30+ full-time W-2 employees to tackle South Carolina’s most massive projects. Yet, our core philosophy remains: National Reach, Hometown Care. Whether you need us to apply heavy-duty urethanes to a sprawling manufacturing floor, safely abate and restore a historic brick building in the Lowcountry, or simply repaint a local family restaurant overnight, no project is too small, and no facility is too large.

Why South Carolina Businesses Trust RSP Painting

South Carolina is experiencing an industrial boom while fiercely protecting its historic and coastal tourism. You need a contractor with the versatility to handle both extremes.

The “No Subcontractor” Guarantee: We refuse to broker your project to third parties. Every painter on your property is a fully insured, background-checked W-2 employee of RSP Painting. They are uniformed, trained in strict OSHA safety standards, and fiercely dedicated to quality.
Massive Capabilities, Friendly Approach: We own our fleet of boom lifts, sandblasters, and industrial sprayers. We have the bonding capacity for multi-million dollar capital projects, but our Project Managers are always ready to walk your local property, shake your hand, and answer every question.
Zero Business Disruption: We know that shutting down costs you money. Our crews are experts in “Invisible Maintenance.” We work overnight, use low-odor paints, and clean up flawlessly before your first customer or employee arrives the next morning.

Defending Against the South Carolina Climate

South Carolina’s Lowcountry weather is notoriously tough on commercial buildings. RSP uses industrial chemistry to fight the elements:

Brutal Humidity & Mold: Intense Southern summers lead to algae and mold growth on shaded exteriors. We incorporate antimicrobial agents into our exterior coatings and offer commercial pressure washing.
Coastal Storms & Salt Air: Properties in Charleston, Myrtle Beach, and Hilton Head are battered by salt air and tropical moisture. We use Marine-Grade Urethanes and Elastomeric coatings to lock out moisture and stop corrosion.
Intense Heat & UV: The Carolina sun fades vibrant brand colors quickly. We utilize Aliphatic Polyurethanes that offer extreme UV stability, ensuring your building’s color stays bright and glossy.

Our mobile crews cover the entire Palmetto State, including:

The Upstate: Greenville, Spartanburg, Anderson, Greer.
