Interior house painting
Inside, we paint single rooms, full interiors and move-in or move-out repaints. Walls get a sheen that fits the room, trim and doors get a durable semi-gloss, and kitchens and bathrooms get finishes made for Florida humidity. We protect floors and furniture, repair drywall first, and work room by room so you can stay in the house while we paint.
Exterior house painting
Most St. Petersburg homes are stucco, and Florida sun, humidity and salt air are hard on exterior paint. Every exterior repaint starts with a pressure wash, then crack repair, caulking and primer before the finish coats go on. For homes with more cracking, we can quote an elastomeric coating and tell you plainly whether your house needs it. Near the water, we pay extra attention to the trim and fasteners that take the most weather.
House painting FAQ
Do you paint both the inside and outside of homes?
Yes. We handle interior and exterior repaints and can quote them together or separately.
Can you paint while we live in the house?
Yes. Most of our interior work is in occupied homes. We work room by room so the rest of the house stays usable.
Do I need to be home?
No. For exterior work we need access to water and electricity outside, and we'll keep you posted each day.
Will you help with HOA color approval?
Yes. We can work from your HOA's approved palette and provide product and color details for the application.
Do you offer a warranty?
Yes. Our work carries a one-year limited workmanship warranty. If paint peels, blisters or flakes because of how we applied it, we fix it at no cost. Moisture intrusion, stucco movement and substrate failure are excluded; the full terms are in your proposal.
Serving St. Petersburg, Tampa and Clearwater
We paint homes across St. Petersburg, Tampa, Clearwater and the rest of Pinellas and Hillsborough County.
What affects the cost of painting a house in St. Petersburg
Every estimate we write is based on the house in front of us, not a price per square foot pulled from a chart. These are the things that move the number most:
Size and height: two-story homes, high ceilings, stairwells and tall entries take more setup and more time.
Surface condition: peeling paint, chalking, stucco cracks and drywall damage add prep hours before any paint goes on.
Trim, doors and cabinets: detailed brush work, priced separately from walls.
Color change: going from dark to light, or the reverse, can take primer and an extra coat.
Furniture and access: furnished rooms take more moving and protection than empty ones.
Elastomeric coatings and staining: quoted as their own line items so you can decide on them separately.
Your written estimate lists each of these, so you can see exactly where the money goes.
