Piedmont grew up around a cotton mill once called the kindergarten of the Upstate mills.
Piedmont began as a company town on the Saluda River, and that industrial start still shapes its streets and its oldest houses. The Piedmont Historic District holds the original mill-village core along the river, a walkable grid of tight-set lots where the town's story is easy to read. Piedmont is also a place that still gathers: Discover Piedmont Day brings the community together at the Piedmont Community Building for basketball tournaments, gospel singing, crafts and food vendors. It's a town proud of where it came from and comfortable in its own skin, with old cottages, mid-century streets and new neighborhoods all part of the same place.
TruCare Painters is a family business, and that name means something to us. We're the family behind the van — Rich and Alexandria, with their kids Carter, Grant and Reagan — living right here in the Upstate and painting the homes of our neighbors. In Piedmont we handle it all: interior and exterior painting, cabinets, deck and fence staining, and commercial work, on houses from the oldest cottages to the newest builds. We're licensed and insured, we back our interior and exterior painting with a five-year warranty, and we treat every home the way we'd treat our own. That's what we truly care means.
Inside a Piedmont home, the color is yours to choose. Many of Piedmont's houses are post-1950s single-family ranches built on the old subdivided mill-village parcels, and their walls make a straightforward canvas for a fresh color. Newer subdivisions may carry community rules, but those don't reach your interior walls, so a kitchen, a bedroom or a whole-house refresh is simply your call. Good interior work protects floors and furniture and leaves clean lines from room to room.
Matching sheen and trim on a newer build helps a whole street of homes, old and new, keep its curb appeal. A well-painted exterior is the first thing that greets every visitor to a Piedmont home.
New homes are going up across Piedmont along the I-85 and SC-86 corridor, in subdivisions like Riverwood Farm and Megan Manor, and their kitchens are prime candidates for cabinet painting.
Piedmont's muggy stretch runs about four and a half months, from the middle of May through the end of September, with July alone averaging around twenty-five muggy days. A well-timed stain keeps a Piedmont deck ready for summer evenings outside.
The right tone, from natural wood to a deeper finish, plus full coverage of posts, rails and pickets, keeps the whole run aging together. It's a small job that does a lot for a Piedmont yard.
Piedmont's storefronts, offices and work spaces need paint that looks sharp and holds up to daily traffic.
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 Piedmont homeowners ask us before a painting project.
The best time to paint a Piedmont home's exterior is during the milder, drier stretches of spring and fall. Piedmont summers run warm and humid, which can slow paint's drying and cure, while the cooler shoulder seasons give steady temperatures and lower moisture that help a finish set the way it should. Indoor spaces hold steadier temperature and moisture, so interior painting works well in any season.
Yes, you can repaint kitchen cabinets in a Piedmont home instead of replacing them, and it's one of the biggest changes for the smallest cost. Good cabinet painting starts with removing doors and hardware, degreasing every surface, and sanding so the new finish bonds. A durable coating then stands up to hands, water and daily cooking. The result is a fresh, updated kitchen in the color you want, whether that's a clean white, a soft gray or a bolder tone. It's a smart update for both older Piedmont homes and newer ones.
Most Piedmont homes benefit from a fresh coat of exterior paint every several years, depending on sun exposure, wood condition and the quality of the last job. Interiors can usually go longer, since they don't face the weather. Repainting on a sensible schedule keeps a Piedmont home protected and looking its best for years. As for the guarantee, TruCare Painters gives a 5-year warranty on interior and exterior painting and a 1-year warranty on cabinet, fence and commercial painting, so Piedmont homeowners have that backing on that work.
Older wood-frame homes in Piedmont need careful prep more than anything else. Decades of sun and weather leave siding that should be washed, scraped where paint has failed, and spot-primed on any bare wood so the new coat can grip. Loose caulk gets replaced and gaps sealed so moisture stays out of the wood. Choosing a quality exterior paint matters too, since it carries the color and does the protecting. Take the prep seriously on a Piedmont classic and the paint job looks better and lasts far longer than a quick recoat ever could.
Humidity does affect deck and fence staining in Piedmont, which is why timing matters. Stain needs to soak into dry wood to protect it, so a deck or fence that's still damp from rain or heavy dew won't take the finish evenly. The best approach is to clean the wood, let it dry fully, and stain during a run of dry weather. Done that way, the stain seals the grain, resists water, and holds its color through Piedmont's warm, damp summers. Rushing a stain onto wet boards is the most common reason a finish fails early.
