Skip to content Heritage Shandon Painters in Columbia
Soda City Painting is a BBB-accredited Shandon painting company serving homeowners across Devine Street, Heyward Park, Wales Garden, Maple Street, and the historic residential blocks of the Shandon neighborhood. Our Shandon crew handles exterior painting on older homes, wood rot repair, trim and baseboard detailing, stucco painting, and interior repaints on plaster walls. Locals pick our crew because we are licensed and insured, give free written estimates, know 1920s and 1930s Columbia construction, and finish clean. We have painted Shandon homes since 2014.
Devine-Street Historic Home Paint Prep and Finish Work
Shandon is one of Columbia’s oldest intact neighborhoods, with most homes built between 1915 and 1940. That age defines every project. Wood rot on cedar siding, window frames, and porch columns is common after a century of Columbia humidity. Lead paint considerations apply to many pre-1978 Shandon homes. Old plaster walls inside hold paint differently than modern drywall. Our Shandon scope always starts with a careful condition assessment.
We offer flexible scheduling — evenings, weekends, and phased work — to ensure your business continues running smoothly during painting.
We use heavy-duty coatings made for commercial buildings, offering excellent resistance to scuffs, stains, and fading in high-traffic environments.

Shandon Painting Services for Historic Columbia Homes

Historic-home scope runs through wood rot repair, and detail work through trim and baseboards.
Local Shandon Experience on Historic Columbia Homes
We have painted Shandon since 2014, which means we know the challenges of 100-year-old construction: cedar siding with hidden wood rot, original window sashes needing glazing, and old plaster walls. Shandon and nearby Heathwood share construction era. See our Columbia interior painting page for scope.

Our Shandon crew handles exterior painting on historic 1920s and 1930s homes, wood rot repair on cedar siding and porch columns, interior painting on old plaster walls, trim and baseboard restoration, stucco painting on Mediterranean-style Shandon homes, window sash glazing and paint, popcorn ceiling removal in later-added rooms, and whole-home restoration repaints. Historic home experience is the throughline: every Shandon project starts with a careful condition assessment that shapes prep, primer, and paint choice together before any work begins on the home.
Yes, wood rot repair is core to Shandon exterior work. Cedar siding, window frames, porch columns, fascia boards, and soffits on century-old Shandon homes accumulate rot slowly over decades of Columbia humidity cycles. We find it during walkthrough estimates, flag it in the written quote, and repair it before paint goes on. See our wood rot repair page for full process detail. Repair-before-paint is non-negotiable on historic Shandon homes because painting over rot just locks in the problem for the future.
Yes, we are fully licensed and insured to operate in Shandon, Columbia, Richland County, and the greater metro area. We carry general liability insurance and workers compensation for every crew member, and we are BBB-accredited with an A-plus rating. We have painted Shandon homes since 2014. Historic home work carries real risk (lead paint protocol on pre-1978 homes, old ladder footings on settled lots, mature trees needing protection), and we carry the insurance to match every aspect of that work on Shandon properties.
Soda City Painting has painted Shandon homes since 2014. Over a decade in the Shandon market means we have painted across Devine Street, Heyward Park, Wales Garden, Maple Street, Edisto Avenue, and Waccamaw Avenue. Shandon homes are mostly 1915 through 1940 construction, which we know well by now. We understand how cedar siding hides wood rot, how old plaster holds paint, why original window sashes need glazing before paint, and when porch columns need structural repair vs cosmetic restoration across every Shandon project.
Yes, every Shandon painting estimate is free and written. Shandon walkthroughs run 45 to 60 minutes because historic home condition assessment takes longer than newer construction. We look at siding, trim, porch columns, windows, and interior plaster walls. You get a written itemized quote the same day or next morning. See our exterior painting page for exterior prep detail that applies to Shandon historic homes. No pressure sales tactics, just honest Shandon painting pricing upfront every time.
Yes. Shandon homes built before 1978 often have lead paint under newer coats, and federal EPA Renovation, Repair, and Painting (RRP) rules apply to any disturbance of that paint. Our crew is RRP-trained and we follow containment, dust control, and cleanup protocol on every pre-1978 Shandon project. That means plastic containment around the work area, HEPA-filter vacuums on debris, and sealed waste disposal. Lead paint protocol adds a day or two to project timelines but protects your family, our crew, and your Shandon neighbors.
Yes. Interior and exterior painting are both core Shandon services. Many Shandon homeowners book whole-home projects, especially after buying an older home that needs refresh. Interior work runs 4 to 10 days in a Shandon home (longer than newer construction due to plaster wall prep). Exterior runs 7 to 14 days depending on wood rot repair scope and weather. When booked together we sequence them to minimize on-site time and coordinate exterior weather days around interior scheduling for efficient project flow.
We paint across every Shandon street: Devine Street, Heyward Park, Wales Garden, Maple Street, Edisto Avenue, Waccamaw Avenue, Saluda Avenue, Sims Avenue, Blossom Street, Harden Street, Divine Street, and the smaller residential cross-streets between them. Wales Garden and Heyward Park have the oldest housing stock, typically 1915 through 1925. Newer Shandon edges see construction into the 1940s. If your Shandon street is not listed, call us to confirm service coverage before scheduling your free painting walkthrough estimate.
Shandon project lead times run 2 to 4 weeks from estimate approval, slightly longer than newer Columbia neighborhoods because historic home scope often includes wood rot repair or specialty trim work requiring material ordering. Peak exterior season (March through June) books further out, sometimes 5 to 6 weeks. Interior work and smaller Shandon projects often start within 2 to 3 weeks of estimate approval. Urgent pre-sale Shandon repaints can sometimes slot in sooner when schedule allows for a faster turnaround.
Three things distinguish our Shandon crew: local tenure on historic Columbia homes since 2014, BBB-accredited A-plus rating, and dedicated crew leads on every Shandon job. Our crew knows historic home work: wood rot identification on century-old cedar, old plaster wall prep, lead paint protocol on pre-1978 homes, porch column restoration vs replacement, and stucco painting on Mediterranean-style Shandon homes. That historic-home specificity translates directly into better prep and longer-lasting finish work.
