Interior and exterior painting, cabinet refinishing, drywall, and wood. Whatever your home is, we have likely painted one like it before.

Historic districts
Painting in Duck Pond, Pleasant Street, and the older Gainesville neighborhoods
Historic districts have different rules and different homes than newer parts of town. Older wood siding usually needs more prep than newer stucco: more scraping, careful sanding, and primers picked for old-growth wood. Exterior color choices may also need approval depending on the district and any homeowner association. We talk through the specifics on the walkthrough so you understand what your home calls for before we put a quote together.

Frequently asked
About working in Gainesville.
01Do you work in the historic districts?
Yes. Duck Pond, Pleasant Street, and similar areas need careful prep on older wood substrates. Some districts also have a color-approval step for exterior work; we walk through your specific situation on the visit.
02Do you handle UF rental properties between tenants?
Yes. Turnover paint jobs are common around UF. We can schedule around lease windows and usually wrap a unit in 1 to 3 days depending on size.
03How quickly can you start in Gainesville?
Usually within 1 to 2 weeks for an interior job, 2 to 4 weeks for exterior depending on season and weather. We give you exact start and finish dates in writing once the quote is accepted.
04Do you work in every part of Gainesville?
Yes. We do not restrict to specific zip codes or neighborhoods. From Haile Plantation to NE Gainesville to the UF area, the whole city is in our regular rotation.
05Are you full-service house painters in Gainesville?
Yes. We are an owner-operated residential painting company in Gainesville handling interior and exterior house painting, cabinet refinishing, wood and deck staining, and drywall and trim repair. Most Gainesville homes need a mix, and running it with one crew keeps the finish consistent from room to room.
06What painting services do you offer in Gainesville?
Interior painting, exterior house painting, kitchen cabinet refinishing, wood and deck staining, drywall repair, and fascia and trim work. If your Gainesville project touches paint or the surfaces around it, it is usually in our wheelhouse.
07Is painting a Duck Pond historic home different from a newer NW Gainesville build?
Yes. The older wood-frame homes around Duck Pond and Pleasant Street usually need more scraping, careful sanding, and primers suited to old-growth wood, plus possible color approval for exterior work. Newer NW Gainesville builds are often stucco or fiber-cement and run as a straighter job. We adjust the prep to the home rather than treating every Gainesville house the same.
08Do you paint student rentals and homes near the UF campus?
Yes. We work the older wood-frame housing stock around UF often, both owner homes and rentals between tenants. We can schedule turnover painting around lease windows and keep the work on a tight timeline so a unit is ready before the next move-in.
