"Charles fit me into his schedule on fairly short notice, removed a large section of our old driveway, took out the many tree roots that had destroyed the old concrete, and replaced with new concrete at a very reasonable price. His work is top notch, very pleased with the result! I highly recommend Charles and Carolina Concrete and Brick!"

AB&C Painting has been in business for over 40 years. We do all aspects of Interior and Exterior painting. Pressure washing, Deck staining. You can check our web site for past and present projects. Our Company comes highly recommended. We never ask for any money until the job is finished and your satisfied. We have a Five Star Rating with BBB.
"I would not recommend this company for cabinet painting. We hired AB&C Painting to paint our kitchen cabinets. We met with Dan, who was very professional, to discuss the project. He explained during the meeting that the cabinets would “look like glass” when they were finished. During the process, we noticed that the cabinets had heavy orange peel and visible brush stokes (more than usual for a professional paint job) and looked nothing like glass. Of course, we took several pictures and made a video of the completed cabinets showing the issues so this is well documented. I was most disappointed that they would actually leave the cabinets in this condition as their final product and that we had to point out all of the quality issues. There were quality issues on EVERY cabinet. It was obvious that there were some steps missing in either the prep before painting and/or the quality of the paint, and/or the skill level of the painters. I honestly don’t believe they have ever painted cabinets before. We had Dan come back out to go over the issues. He tried to convince us that the job done was satisfactorily but eventually said he would send his crew back out on Friday and Saturday the week after Thanksgiving to correct the issues. I won’t even get into the blame game that went on between the crew and Dan once they came back out. The crew came out on Friday and began sanding and repainting a few of the cabinets. That is when we realized they would not be able to finish the cabinets professionally. We showed Dan a bathroom cabinet that my husband and I painted (as amateurs) which was smooth and free of obvious brush marks and orange peel. At the end of the day on Friday, Dan advised my husband that he would get back with him. Dan, nor his crew, returned on Saturday as scheduled. I sent a follow up email on Saturday again outlining our expectations and letting Dan know we expected at least the same level of quality as the cabinet we painted. We never heard back from Dan. I truly believe he realized they were in over their heads and would not be able to complete the job satisfactorily. We now have to hire someone to undo the damage to the cabinets and repaint them. They also painted our kitchen walls and we found no issues with that paint job."

Dryvit pricing hinges on three things: your home’s square footage, the layout’s complexity, and the finish you pick. Because those variables differ from house to house, contractors quote Dryvit on a per-project basis rather than a flat rate. Ask a licensed installer for a detailed estimate and breakdown of materials and labor. Professional installation is crucial—done right, Dryvit resists cracking and delivers the long-term energy efficiency it’s known for.
Keep stucco looking sharp by rinsing it with a garden hose a few times a year and walking the exterior for hairline cracks. Skip high-powered pressure washers—they can force water behind the finish. Start hosing at the bottom, work upward, and let gravity rinse the wall clean. If you spot cracks or chips, seal them right away to block moisture. Quick fixes and gentle cleaning go a long way toward preserving color and structure.
Think of stucco as a full-service siding and parging as a quick jacket for your foundation. Stucco covers entire walls, adds curb appeal, and offers some insulation. Parging is a thin coat on the lower portion of a masonry wall that mainly seals out moisture and pests. It’s protective, not decorative. If you need a complete exterior finish, go with stucco; if you just need to shore up a foundation, parging does the trick.
Stucco’s biggest enemies are moisture and movement. Water that seeps behind a poorly sealed wall can cause stains, bubbling, mold, and the white powder called efflorescence. Shifting soil or impact can crack the surface, letting in even more moisture. Catch small cracks early and keep sealant lines intact to head off bigger repairs. A quick yearly inspection and prompt patching usually keep these issues from snowballing.
In harsh climates, synthetic stucco—or EIFS—usually outperforms traditional mixes. The layered foam-and-finish system sheds water, flexes with temperature swings, and resists cracking better than cement-based stucco. You’ll pay a premium up front, but the added durability can cut future repair bills and improve energy efficiency. Ask a local pro which formulation handles your region’s heat, cold, or heavy rain the best.
If stucco isn’t the right fit, you have plenty of other siding choices. Vinyl is usually the budget pick and needs minimal upkeep. Fiber-cement and engineered wood blend durability with a wood-grain look. Brick or stone veneer costs more but delivers classic curb appeal and great longevity. Metal—including steel and aluminum—stands up well to fire and insects. Compare costs, maintenance needs, and local climate before settling on the best match for your home.
