Solway sits along the Oak Ridge Highway corridor in northwest Knox County, a community that has seen steady residential growth as families look for more space without losing proximity to Knoxville. The homes here include established properties on larger lots and newer subdivision development, each with different painting needs.
Cutting Edge Painting serves Solway with the same owner-operated quality we deliver throughout the greater Knoxville area. Jesse Castillo handles every project personally.
The housing along the Oak Ridge Highway corridor and the side roads branching into Solway reflects decades of residential development. Older properties—many dating to the 1960s and 1970s—sit on generous lots with mature trees, original wood siding, and exteriors that have absorbed years of East Tennessee humidity and temperature swings. These homes often have oil-based trim coatings, single-pane windows with aging glazing, and fascia boards that need careful inspection for moisture damage before any painting begins. Newer builds in the area’s growing subdivisions typically feature vinyl and fiber cement siding with builder-grade paint that fades and chalks within a few years of construction—an upgrade to professional-grade Sherwin-Williams products makes a visible and lasting difference.
Solway’s position between Knoxville and Oak Ridge also means many homeowners are professionals who expect precision and clear communication. Jesse delivers both. Every estimate is a line-item document with product specifications, prep details, and transparent pricing. No guesswork, no vague allowances, and no surprises when the work is complete.
Solway Painting Services
Interior Painting — Full repaints, builder-grade upgrades, and room updates with premium Sherwin-Williams products. Whether you are updating a newer home with flat builder paint that scuffs and marks, or tackling an older property with plaster walls and oil-based trim, we prep every surface properly and apply coatings that perform for years. We work room by room with low-VOC formulations and full protection of your floors, furniture, and fixtures throughout the process.
Exterior Painting — Product selection tailored to your home’s specific materials and exposure conditions. Thorough prep on every surface—pressure washing, scraping, sanding, priming bare wood, and caulking joints and gaps before topcoat application. Homes on open Solway lots face more UV exposure than those tucked into tree-lined streets, and we adjust product selections accordingly. High-build acrylic coatings with enhanced UV resistance protect sun-hammered elevations, while mildew-resistant formulations address shaded north-facing walls.
Cabinet Refinishing — Spray-applied catalyzed conversion varnish in any color you choose. This factory-grade finish is harder, smoother, and more chemical-resistant than brush-applied cabinet paint. We remove every door and drawer front, prep all surfaces, spray in controlled conditions, and reinstall with precision. The transformation takes about a week and delivers results that rival a custom kitchen—without the renovation price tag.
Deck and Outdoor Staining — Penetrating stains and sealers for decks, fences, and outdoor structures. We clean and brighten the wood before application, removing gray oxidation and organic growth so the stain penetrates evenly and bonds to a sound surface.
Straight Talk From the Owner
Jesse walks your home, writes a transparent estimate, and delivers the finished result. No subcontractors, no corporate layers, no hidden fees. When you call Cutting Edge, the person who answers is the person who does the work. Jesse assesses your home’s specific conditions during the walkthrough, explains what needs to happen and why, and provides a written estimate that accounts for every detail. If something unexpected comes up during the project, Jesse discusses it with you before proceeding—not after the invoice arrives.
That level of direct accountability is what owner-operated means at Cutting Edge. It is not a marketing phrase—it is the way every single project runs, from initial walkthrough to final inspection and cleanup.
