Friends Enterprises are east Charlotte NC painters based on the east side of the city. We paint interiors and exteriors and handle drywall repair across east Charlotte, from the 28212 area to Hickory Grove, Eastway, Oakhurst and southeast Charlotte, with free written quotes.
๐ท See recent jobs @friends.enterprises on InstagramMuch of east Charlotte was built from the 1950s through the 1970s, and many homes are brick ranches and split-levels with plaster or early drywall inside. That makes painting and drywall repair natural partners here: cracks and patches get fixed first, then the paint goes on. Our crew is based in east Charlotte, so we know the housing stock well.
We start with a free walkthrough to look at walls, ceilings and exterior surfaces, and to spot cracks, patches and water damage. Then we give a written quote that covers repairs and painting together, so nothing is left for a second contractor. Where a wall has water damage, we find and stop the source of the leak before any patching starts.
Hickory Grove has many homes from the 1960s and 1970s, often brick ranches and split-levels. Exterior work usually means trim, soffits, shutters and doors on brick, while interiors often need drywall or plaster repair before a fresh coat.
Around Eastway and Oakhurst, many homes date from the 1950s and 1960s, with original wood trim and older interior walls. Careful scraping, priming and patching matter here, and older coats may need lead-safe prep before sanding.
Toward southeast Charlotte, homes range from mid-century ranches to newer subdivisions. We adjust the prep and products to the siding and age of each house rather than applying one approach everywhere.
Cracks, holes, nail pops, water stains and failed patches are cut back, retaped and finished, with the texture matched so the repair disappears. Repairs come before paint so problems do not show through.
Popcorn ceilings are common in homes of this age. We remove them, skim coat or retexture, and paint the ceiling as one job, after checking whether an asbestos test is needed.
Exterior jobs start with a proper wash to lift pollen, mildew and red clay staining, followed by scraping, caulking and priming. Paint lasts only as long as the prep underneath it.
Brick ranches are everywhere in east Charlotte. The brick itself rarely needs paint, but the trim, soffits, fascia, shutters and doors do, and rotten wood in those areas is repaired before painting so the new coat lasts.
Framing and new board, then taping, finishing and paint. The same sequence goes into every drywall repair we do in east Charlotte, whether it is a single patch or a rebuilt wall after water damage.

The same crew handles carpentry, washing, floors and tile, so an east Charlotte project can cover more than paint and drywall.

Yes. Our crew is based on Charlotte's east side, and we paint interiors and exteriors across the 28212 area, Hickory Grove, Eastway, Oakhurst and southeast Charlotte, along with the rest of the city. A free walkthrough is usually easy to schedule within a few days, since we are close by.
Yes, and it is the best way to do it. We repair cracks, holes and water damage first, match the texture, then prime and paint, so the repair disappears and you only need one contractor. It also keeps the schedule shorter, because there is no waiting between two different contractors.
Recurring cracks can point to movement in the framing or foundation, humidity changes or a failed earlier repair. We cut back and retape cracks properly, and we will tell you if a crack suggests something that needs a closer look first. Cracks at the corners of doors and windows are common in older homes and are usually cosmetic.
Often. Homes built before 1978 may have lead paint under newer coats, which needs lead-safe prep when it is sanded or scraped. Plaster walls also need different repair methods from drywall. We check the age of the house before quoting and explain what any special prep involves.
It depends on the size and number of repairs and whether texture needs matching. A few small patches cost far less than a wall rebuild after water damage, so we quote after seeing the damage. Water damage should always be traced and fixed at the source first, or the new drywall will fail too.
Yes. We offer a 15% senior discount and 25% off exterior work. Every job starts with a free, written quote so you know the full cost before work begins. The discount is applied to the written quote, so you see the final number before agreeing to anything.
