Fortune named Mauldin one of its best places to live for families, and we paint homes across it.
Mauldin grew from a small crossroads into a real family town, and you can still feel both. At Kellett's Korner, an old service-station crossroads, folks have gathered for generations. Each September the Mauldin Cultural Center hosts the SOOIE BBQ Cook-Off, with competition teams, certified judges, live music, and free admission — the kind of afternoon that fills a whole street. That street is E. Butler Road, the city's main civic corridor, home to the Cultural Center and the Mauldin Open Air Market. Newer energy arrived with BridgeWay Station, which opened in 2024 around a professional soccer stadium and ties into the Swamp Rabbit Trail. It's a town that honors where it came from while building what's next, and that mix shows up on its front porches and storefronts alike.
TruCare Painters is a family's company, rooted in the Upstate and built on a simple belief: a home deserves the kind of painter who cares for it the way they would their own. That's the heart of "We Truly Care." The family behind it, Rich and Alexandria, with their kids Carter, Grant, and Reagan, wants the name on the van to stand for something. Here in Mauldin we paint the full range, from the town's older homes to its newest builds: interior and exterior painting, cabinets, deck and fence staining, and commercial work. We're licensed and insured, and our interior and exterior painting are backed by a five-year warranty.
Interior painting is the easiest place to start in Mauldin, since the city doesn't ask for a permit on interior work, so a den or a whole downstairs can move from plan to fresh color without extra paperwork. In a Mauldin home, the right sheen for how a room gets used and clean lines at the trim are what set interior work apart. Fresh interior color has a way of lifting a whole Mauldin home.
Plenty of Mauldin's houses date back to the town's early decades, with a good share raised in the 1960s and 1970s, homes that reward careful exterior work. Sun and humidity are hard on exterior finishes, so a coating built to flex with the boards tends to hold up longest. Sound prep on the siding, trim, and porches is what makes exterior color hold in Mauldin, and a five-year warranty stands behind the siding and trim.
Many Mauldin kitchens sit in homes built around the mid-1990s, when the town's median home year lands. Cabinet painting is one of the biggest changes you can make in a Mauldin kitchen. Smooth, even coats on the doors and boxes give a Mauldin kitchen a crisp, updated look.
A deck in Mauldin takes the full weight of warm, humid summers, and a good stain keeps the boards from drying out and graying.
Across Mauldin subdivisions like Holly Springs, Greenbrier, and Whispering Pines, wood fences take the full brunt of sun and rain through the long warm months. Staining a wood fence early protects it from splitting and fading, and refreshing it every few years keeps the whole yard looking cared-for.
A Mauldin storefront or office takes hard daily use, so a tough, professional finish earns its keep.
Upstate SC Painters Who Follow the TruCare Standard Every Time
There's a reason our customers keep coming back and sending their neighbors our way. Every TruCare project follows the same five-step process we call The TruCare Standard. It's how we keep our work consistent, our job sites clean, and our customers confident from the first phone call to the final walkthrough.
At TruCare we are big on communication. We like to walk through your project with you, talk through your vision and get a complete understanding of exactly what we're there to do. You'll receive a detailed written proposal covering everything from prep work, products and production costs. No surprises, no hidden fees. Total transparency is the goal. You know exactly what to expect.
Great results and long lasting finishes start with great prep — it's the foundation of every job we do. At TruCare Painters we go the extra mile to ensure all preparation work is done right and back it up with a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee, plus a 5-year warranty on interior and exterior painting. We use high-quality materials at every step because we know the prep is what makes the finish last. We do it right, do it well, every time. No exceptions.
Clean lines, even coverage, no drips, no missed spots. We take our time with every cut-in, every roll, and every detail because rushing is how mistakes happen. Our crews treat every home with respect and care. Yes, we train on it but it's really who we are.
Your home stays clean. No exceptions. We clean up at the end of every day. We believe a clean job speaks to our character as people and as a company. And we keep you in the loop so you always know where things stand. If anything changes, you hear it from us first.
Before we pack up, we walk through the entirety of the project. This way when we inform you the job is complete and we walk through together we are confident we did our best work. Then you can take a few days to look over everything as well. If anything doesn't meet your standard, we schedule a day for one of the painters to come back and touch up anything that needs it. The job isn't done until you tell us it's done. That's what the TruCare Standard means.

Questions Mauldin homeowners ask us before a painting project.
Mauldin's housing runs a wide range of styles and building eras across its neighborhoods. That range matters here, because a mid-century home and a fresh build ask different things of a painter: different surfaces, different prep, different sheens. Reading the surface first is what points to the right primer and sheen for each one. Whatever the age or style of your Mauldin home, the goal is the same, a clean, lasting finish you're proud to come home to.
Prep is where a good paint job on an older Mauldin home is really made. Older homes generally show more wear on their surfaces, and finding those spots before painting is what shapes the prep. Bare wood should be primed with a product that grips it, gaps should be re-caulked, and glossy surfaces scuffed so the next coat can bond. Skipping prep is the fastest way to a finish that peels. Taking the time on those steps up front is what pays off years down the road.
Yes, we do both in Mauldin. Alongside houses, we take on commercial painting for offices, storefronts, and other business spaces around town. Commercial spaces bring their own demands, and a durable finish matters as much there as it does at home. It's work we're glad to take on for Mauldin businesses of every kind.
In Mauldin, humidity is the main thing to plan a paint job around. Mauldin's muggy season runs from about May 19 through the end of September, roughly 4.3 months, and July alone averages around 24 muggy days. Interior painting can happen year-round, since it's climate-controlled indoors.
Yes, repainting cabinets is a budget-friendly alternative to replacing them in a Mauldin kitchen. The key is preparation: cabinet doors and boxes collect cooking grease and oils, so they have to be cleaned thoroughly and sanded before any primer or paint goes on, or the finish won't hold. A properly done cabinet job gives you a smooth, durable surface and a brand-new look for the whole kitchen.
