Interior Painting

We paint interior walls, ceilings, trim, doors, and cabinets across Sarasota and the Gulf coast.

How much does interior painting cost in Sarasota?

The exact price depends on the size of the space, wall condition, and how much prep is involved, so we give you a free written estimate after we see it in person rather than a number over the phone. Call or text (941) 400-5079 to book one.

How long does interior painting take?

Most interior projects take one to several days depending on the number of rooms and the amount of prep and trim work. We give you a schedule with the estimate and finish when we say we will. A single room is often a one-day job.

Do you move furniture and protect floors?

Yes, we protect the areas we are not painting and cover floors and furniture before we start. We keep a clean job site, clean up at the end of each day, and walk the finished job with you before we call it done.

What kind of paint do you use?

We use quality interior coatings suited to the room and surface, and we prep thoroughly before we paint. Good prep and the right product are what make an interior finish look clean and hold up, and that is the part we never rush.

Do you paint kitchen cabinets and trim?

Yes, we paint interior cabinets, trim, doors, and ceilings along with walls. Cabinets need careful cleaning, sanding, and priming to hold up to daily use, and we handle that prep as part of the job.

Exterior Painting

We paint stucco, wood, and block exteriors across Sarasota and the barrier islands, using prep and coatings rated for coastal Florida.

How often should I repaint my home exterior in coastal Florida?

Exterior paint on the Gulf coast usually needs refreshing sooner than inland, often every 5 to 10 years, and sooner on homes right on the water. Salt air, strong sun, and heavy summer rain break coatings down faster here, especially on the barrier islands.

Why does exterior paint fail faster near the Gulf?

Salt air, intense sun, and heavy summer rain are harder on exterior coatings near the Gulf than inland, so paint that skips prep can start failing within a year or two. Thorough prep and coastal-rated coatings are what make the difference between a finish that lasts and one that peels.

Do you pressure wash and prep before painting?

Yes, we pressure clean, make repairs, caulk, and prime surfaces before we paint. That prep work is the part that determines whether an exterior finish lasts, and it is the step we never skip or rush.

Can you paint stucco, wood, and block homes?

Yes, we paint stucco, wood, and block exteriors. Each surface needs different prep and product, and we match the coating to the surface and to coastal Florida conditions.

What is the best exterior paint for stucco homes in Sarasota?

Acrylic and elastomeric coatings hold up best on stucco in the Sarasota area, since both flex with the wall and resist the salt air and UV that break down cheaper paint fast. Elastomeric costs more but bridges small stucco cracks and holds up longer near the water, while a quality acrylic works well on stucco that is already in good condition. We match the coating to your stucco’s condition and to how close the home sits to the Gulf. Call or text (941) 400-5079 for a free estimate.

When is the best time of year to paint a house exterior in Sarasota?

Late fall through early spring is the best window for exterior painting in Sarasota, since the drier air and milder temperatures let coatings cure evenly. Summer heat, humidity, and afternoon storms make exterior paint harder to apply and slower to cure, which is why we book exterior jobs heavily in the cooler months and recommend interior or cabinet work if you need something done in summer. Call or text (941) 400-5079 to get on the schedule.

Cabinet Painting and Refinishing

We refinish kitchen and bathroom cabinets so you can update a kitchen without the cost of replacing it.

Can kitchen cabinets be painted instead of replaced?

Yes, painting cabinets is a common way to update a kitchen for far less than the cost of new cabinets. If the cabinet boxes are solid, refinishing gives you a fresh look without a full replacement or a long remodel.

How long does cabinet painting take?

Cabinet projects usually take a several days because good results depend on careful cleaning, sanding, priming, and drying time between coats. We give you a schedule with the estimate so you know what to expect.

Will painted cabinets hold up to daily use?

Yes, when they are prepped correctly. Cabinets get touched, wiped, and bumped every day, so we clean off grease, sand, and prime before the finish coats. That prep is what keeps a cabinet finish from chipping early.

Commercial and Condo Painting

We paint condos and commercial buildings up to three stories across the Sarasota area.

Do you paint condos and commercial buildings?

Yes, we paint condos and commercial buildings up to three stories, interior and exterior. We schedule the work around your operations and protect the areas we are not painting.

How many stories can you paint?

We paint buildings up to three stories. For condo and commercial exteriors on the coast we use the same coastal prep and coatings we use on homes near the water.

Can you work around our schedule?

Yes, we schedule around your calendar and operations. Once you approve the written estimate, we set a schedule, protect the space, and clean up at the end of each day.

Wallpaper Installation

We install wallpaper and can remove old wallpaper and prep the wall first.

Do you install wallpaper?

Yes, we install wallpaper. Clean, smooth wall prep is what keeps seams tight and the pattern lined up, so we prep the wall properly before the paper goes up.

Can you remove old wallpaper before installing new?

Yes, we remove old wallpaper and prep the wall before we install new paper or paint. Old paper and adhesive have to come off cleanly first or the new finish will not sit right.

Do you install wallpaper in bathrooms and kitchens?

Yes, we install wallpaper in bathrooms, kitchens, and other rooms. Humidity in these rooms makes clean wall prep and correct installation matter even more, so the paper stays put and the seams stay tight.

Garage Floor Coating

We apply garage floor coatings built to hold up to cars, foot traffic, and Florida humidity.

Do you coat garage floors?

Yes, we apply garage floor coatings. The concrete has to be cleaned and prepped first so the coating bonds and does not peel, and that prep is part of the job.

How long does a garage floor coating last?

A properly prepped and applied garage floor coating can last for years under normal use. Surface prep is the biggest factor in how long it holds, which is why we do not skip it.

Will a garage floor coating peel in Florida humidity?

A coating peels when the concrete was not cleaned and prepped correctly, not because of humidity on its own. We clean, prep, and let the concrete dry so the coating bonds, which is what keeps it from lifting later.
