In St. Augustine and coastal Northeast Florida, most homes need exterior repainting every 5 to 7 years. Homes closer to the ocean or with heavy sun exposure may need repainting sooner. Signs it is time include fading, chalking, peeling, cracking, or persistent mold and mildew that cleaning does not resolve.

Yes. Many communities in St. Johns County — including Nocatee, World Golf Village, and Ponte Vedra Beach — have HOA guidelines for exterior paint colors. We can help you select colors that meet your community requirements and assist with the approval process if needed.

Yes. We offer color consultation as part of our painting services. We visit your home, evaluate your lighting and existing finishes, discuss your preferences, and recommend specific colors. We can also apply test samples on your walls so you can see how colors look in your actual space before making a final decision.

The timeline depends on the size of your home and the scope of work. A single room typically takes 1-2 days including preparation. A full interior for a 3-bedroom home usually takes 3-5 working days. We will provide a specific timeline estimate during your consultation.

Exterior painting timelines depend on the size of your home, the condition of existing paint, and weather conditions. A typical single-family home exterior takes 4-7 working days. Extensive preparation work or weather delays can extend this timeline. We discuss timing expectations during the estimate.

We use premium paints from trusted manufacturers. The specific products we recommend depend on the surface, the environment, and the application. For exterior work in coastal Florida, we select paints with built-in mold and mildew resistance, UV stability, and flexibility for temperature changes. For interiors, we choose paints appropriate for each room — moisture-resistant finishes in bathrooms and durable, washable coatings in high-traffic areas.

No. We handle moving and protecting your furniture as part of our service. We cover floors, fixtures, and furnishings with protective materials before any painting begins. If there are large or fragile items you prefer to relocate yourself, we are happy to coordinate that with you.

Yes. We provide professional cabinet painting for kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and built-in cabinetry. Cabinet painting requires specialized preparation and products. We clean, degloss, sand, prime with bonding primer, and apply cabinet-grade finishes for a durable, smooth result. We are happy to assess your cabinets and let you know if they are good candidates for painting.

Preparation is the most important part of any paint job. For interiors, we fill holes and cracks, sand rough spots, repair minor wall damage, and prime as needed. For exteriors, we pressure wash, scrape failing paint, repair damaged surfaces, caulk gaps, and prime bare or repaired areas. The specific preparation depends on the condition of your surfaces.
