South Carolina – A major rehabilitation project of a building in the heart of South Carolina has helped Wade Paint Co. showcase its full work scope less than two years after the business was created.

Elliott Hall's company has seen phenomenal growth since its launch during the pandemic. It is now engaged on one of its biggest-ever projects with an incredible rehabilitation of a property right in the heart of downtown Charleston.

Mr Hall said the company had been hired to fully replace siding, demolition and replacement of its porches and do a complete exterior repaint. 

"It's an incredible project and will certainly be one more beautiful home for everyone to see as they drive through Charleston," he commented. "Wade Paint Co is extremely proud of its work on the King St home and is already looking at a full summer."

Projects like these are a hallmark of Elliot's plans to continue to scale up the company. Wade Paint Co. offers professional interior and exterior painting across Charleston. He commented: "What sets us apart? Experienced crews, unparalleled professionalism, fair and honest pricing, and consistent communication you can trust."

The company has achieved an incredible reputation in a short time due to Elliot recruiting painters from some of the best paint companies in town. Using his experience in the corporate world, Elliot put in SOPs and super-friendly salary structures that allow his painters to earn a great living while delivering quality work time after time. 

His wife, Kaylee, got him into painting in college, and when the pandemic hit, they went back to painting - finding a big market for homeowners and business owners looking for reliable painting crews. He added: "We now have big plans to grow the business this year, and we are honored to have had so many homes and businesses grow with us."

As expert painters, they've painted and restored exteriors on some of the region's most iconic homes across Downtown Charleston, Historic Charleston Green, Mount Pleasant, Daniel Island, and West Ashley.

Wade Paint only uses premium Sherwin Williams paint, so they can guarantee that their work will last years.

Clients have left five-star testimonials of Wade Paint's work. Amanda Bergdorf commented: "Wade Paint Co did an excellent job on my interior walls in my house! They were quick and efficient. They helped me pick the color, scheduled me almost immediately, and made sure we were happy with the results. I will definitely use them again in the future."

Daryl Guberman, a renowned bodybuilder and fitness enthusiast, has released a new YouTube video where he discusses his life leading up to the Mr. America Bodybuilding Championship. In the video, he emphasizes the importance of integrity and determination in achieving success in the fitness industry.

Guberman, who has been working out for over 46 years, talks about his experiences staying clear of steroid abuse and the impact it has had on the people he has met over the years. He cites Arnold Schwarzenegger as an example of someone who has seemingly achieved success in bodybuilding but was lured into becoming pharmacologically enhanced. In contrast, Guberman emphasizes that he has never used steroids or any other performance-enhancing drugs during his career and this led him to true success.

Guberman’s journey to bodybuilding began as a child when he was bullied and called names. After sustaining a back injury at the age of 14, he began doing sit-ups and other exercises to help alleviate the pain. He credits his determination and inspiration to the Spartan way of life – combining a strong body and a disciplined mind.

In 1982, Guberman competed in his first bodybuilding competitions, earning first, second place & second place finishes. However, he soon realized the negative impact of steroid use and the bad politics overshadowing the bodybuilding scene. His goal was always to win the Mr. America title, but he was determined to do so naturally – without the use of steroids or other performance-enhancing drugs.

Guberman’s hard work and dedication paid off in the end, as he eventually placed in the Mr. America title naturally. He attributes his success to the “natural steroid” of self-discipline and being called names when he was younger, which fueled his drive and determination.

At the age of 60, Guberman looks back on his life with pride and gratitude. He is thankful for the former U.S. Marine Angelo Fischetti, who helped him train and for the lessons he learned along the way. He wants to inspire others to achieve their goals without compromising their integrity, health or resorting to what is plainly cheating.

About SGS
We are SGS – the world’s leading testing, inspection and certification company. We are recognized as the global benchmark for sustainability, quality and integrity.

SGS, the world’s leading testing, inspection and certification company, has launched a unique protocol for determining screw quality using PROF, the company’s revolutionary new performance testing solution.

Building trust and competitive advantage in products like screws is difficult. Consumers have either never considered factors like the energy required to drill a screw or they simply make purchasing decisions based on price and brand recognition.

This is changing, and businesses and consumers are becoming more aware of factors like efficiency and energy consumption. For individuals, it might mean protecting battery strength in cordless equipment but on an automated production line it could enable considerable cost savings.

SGS’s PROF screw protocol is a trusted way to build consumer confidence in screws. Utilizing the power of PROF, the protocol allows unbiased and accurate comparisons on a wide range of parameters, including screwing torque, braking torque, braking rate, installation time, average energy consumption per screw and screwed unit per fully loaded reference screwdriver. Manufacturers receive high-value data, free from human or machine bias, enabling continuous improvements in screw design and empowering competitive advantage.

For example, PROF can measure the difference in energy consumed between two screws. It accurately measures the time taken and energy used to drill both screws to show which one takes longer and uses more energy. 

PROF is SGS’s new cutting-edge performance and durability testing solution for consumer products. Combining adaptable robotics with advanced algorithms and high-level analytics, it accurately replicates real human dynamics with unmatched consistency, repeatability and reproducibility. PROF is used to measure the impact of human use on a diverse range of products, from furniture draws and suitcase zips to paint rollers and screws.

The screw protocol is just one example of the many tailored consumer product testing solutions available through PROF. SGS’s dedicated team are constantly introducing new protocols and developing new system capabilities, while also working directly with stakeholders to create protocols that answer individual customer needs.

“We are excited to launch the PROF platform and bring the next generation of performance testing to the market,” said Nicolas Bacheré, VP Global C&P Hardlines. “Our platform offers customers a unique and comprehensive approach to understanding the performance and durability of their products. We believe that this platform will revolutionize the way consumer products are tested and bring new levels of quality and confidence to the market.”

SGS PROF is the world’s most advanced consumer product testing solution. It offers next generation performance and durability testing and delivers high-quality insights that inspire better decisions and continuous product improvements.

SGS is committed to providing its customers with the tools and expertise they need to make products that are better adapted to the needs of their final user.
