Lake Waccamaw, NC Painting Contractors

About

Recognized as one of Wilmington's longest-operating painting contractors, Tinney Painting Inc has maintained an exceptional reputation with over 100 five-star Google reviews and a 4.8-star rating since opening in 1975. This second-generation family business, now led by Scott Tinney following founder John Tinney's legacy, handles everything from single-room refreshes to complex commercial and industrial projects across coastal North Carolina.

The company specializes in both traditional and specialty services. Interior and exterior painting, cabinet refinishing, and commercial work form their core offerings, while pressure washing, boat bottom painting, swimming pool coating, sandblasting, and deck staining address unique coastal property needs. Reviews consistently highlight thorough surface preparation, with customers noting properties left "cleaner than when they started" and painters who are "fast, meticulous and focused." The crew includes experienced painters like Randy, Josh, Katrina, and the team of John, Dave, and Barbara, with estimator Mike Whaley handling project quotes.

What distinguishes Tinney Painting is their accountability. When Marie Lightner discovered an unpainted rear area months after completion, Scott returned to paint it plus repair wood rot on two window corners at no charge, demonstrating the company's "stand up" approach. The fully insured team serves Wilmington, Leland, Southport, Carolina Beach, Wrightsville Beach, Hampstead, and surrounding coastal communities, maintaining the 50-year commitment to quality that has made them a trusted choice for generations of coastal property owners.
