Interior painting
Selecting the right paint and the right application method is where an interior job is won or lost. These are the decisions we walk you through:
- Sheen
- Flat through high gloss, and everything between. Choosing the right sheen for the room is a bigger decision than most people expect — it changes how washable the surface is and how much it shows imperfections.
- Mildew
- Recurring mildew, particularly in bathrooms and kitchens, needs treating rather than painting over. We can help.
- Acrylic or solvent base
- Which one your surface calls for.
- Application
- Spray, brush or roller, depending on the surface and the finish you want.
- Color
- Usually the hardest question of all, and a personal one. We give advice when you want it.
We are happy to answer all of your questions and give you the best advice, so that your painting needs are addressed professionally and done correctly the first time.
Exterior painting
Exterior work in Central Florida has its own set of problems. These are the ones homeowners ask us about most:
- Equipment
- Ladders, rollers, scaffolding and the rest. Exterior work in Florida means reaching two-story gable ends safely, and we arrive with everything the job needs.
- Paint selection
- There are a great many exterior products and they are not interchangeable. We match the coating to your substrate and exposure.
- Primers and sealers
- Which one, and where it actually needs to go.
- Stucco cracks
- Why they keep appearing and how they get repaired properly rather than filled and repainted.
- Mildew
- The problem that gets visibly worse every year until something is done about the cause.
We can answer all of these and give you a professional paint job that lasts — and stand behind it. On how long that is in Florida's heat and humidity, see our answer in the FAQ.
Residential painting
With hundreds of homes behind us, start to finish, we make sure that from the preparation through to the finished product your home looks its best and stays that way for years.
See our house painting page for how a residential repaint works, what we do about Florida sun and humidity, and before-and-after photos.
Commercial painting
We can assist with all of your commercial painting needs. We have expertise working off high lifts, spraying large volumes of paint to save time, and knowing which materials suit your project.
Offices, retail, common areas, warehouses, HOA properties and multi-unit buildings. Work is scheduled around your operating hours, and after-hours service is available by appointment so we are not painting through your business day.
Drywall repair
Our team is highly experienced with drywall repair and installation. Whether it is a small settling crack or full sheets of drywall replacement, we can remedy the problem.
From popcorn to knockdown, orange peel to slick, we can update your home and add value with the latest texture.
