Painters in Alachua, FL.
About 12 miles north of our Gainesville base. We work historic Main Street homes, Turkey Creek subdivision builds, and the newer construction along the west side. Many older Alachua homes have mature wood siding that needs the prep work to last.

Older homes
Pre-1978 homes around Main Street need different prep
A lot of homes near downtown Alachua are 50 or more years old. They need different prep than newer construction: more scraping on wood siding, sometimes plaster patching instead of drywall, and a careful approach on any pre-1978 surface because of lead-paint considerations. Skipping these steps is why some older homes need repainting every few years.

Frequently asked
About working in Alachua.
01Do you work on older homes near Main Street?
Yes. Older wood substrates need more prep than newer construction, and pre-1978 homes call for lead-paint awareness during scraping and sanding. We walk through what your specific home needs on the visit.
02Do you handle Turkey Creek HOA color approval?
Yes. We can submit color schemes to the HOA for approval and wait for sign-off before scheduling the work.
03Is the 12 mile drive an issue?
No. We schedule Alachua jobs as full-day blocks and the drive is built into our routing.
04How do you handle lead-paint risk on a pre-1978 Alachua home?
We treat any pre-1978 surface as if it may have lead under the newer coats. That means careful scraping and sanding that controls dust and debris instead of spreading it, and clean containment around the work area. It is slower than blasting through prep, and it is the right way to repaint an older home near Main Street.
05How soon can you start a job in Alachua?
Usually within 1 to 2 weeks for interior work and 2 to 4 weeks for exterior, weather depending. Older homes that need heavier prep can add a day or two to the schedule, which we lay out in the quote before anything starts.
