We move the furniture, cover the floors, and put the room back together when we are done. ### Exterior House Painting and Stucco Stucco, wood and aluminum siding, fascia, and shutters, washed, sealed, primed, then painted. Stucco repaints are most of our exterior work, and we book them for the dry months. ### Trim and Door Painting Baseboards, casing, crown, and interior doors sanded and brushed smooth in a finish that wipes clean. A faded front door gets the same care on the outside. ### Touch-Up Painting and Color Matching One wall, one patch, or the scuffed stairwell, matched to the color you already have from a can, a lid, or a chip off the wall. Small jobs are welcome. ### Repairs Before Paint Nail holes, drywall dings, cracked caulk, and hairline stucco cracks fixed first, so we never paint over a problem. The same team does the surface repair and the paint. ### Small Offices and Storefronts Walls, ceilings, trim, and doors in a small office, a shop, or a rental property, with the holes from old shelves and signs patched first. We plan around your open hours where we can. ## One Room, One Wall, or Just the Spots That Show You do not need a whole house job to give us a call. One accent wall is welcome, and so is the hallway the movers scuffed. Interior painting services are most of our painting work, so a single room is an ordinary day for our handymen. Touch-ups are where a painting handyman earns the visit. We fill the hole, match the wall texture, and match the color so the repair disappears. Bring out a leftover can or its lid if you have one. If not, we take a small chip to the paint store and match from that. You are welcome to buy the paint yourself, too, and plenty of homeowners do. - Holes and dents filled and sanded - Texture matched on textured walls - Color matched from a can, lid, or chip - Furniture moved and floors covered - Clean cut lines at the ceiling - Your paint or ours, whichever you like > **A recent request:** A homeowner asked us to color match one corner wall and paint just that wall, not the whole room. That is a job we are glad to take, and it is priced as one wall. - [Holes to patch first?](https://the-handyman-company.com/services/drywall-repair) ## Faded, Chalky Stucco Comes Back With the Right Prep Most Florida houses are stucco, and the sun is hard on a home's exterior. South and west walls fade and turn chalky first. Shaded north walls grow mildew. Hairline cracks open over the years and let rain get in behind the paint. Paint over any of that and you get peeling paint by the next rainy season. So exterior house painting starts with power washing and a mildew treatment. Hairline cracks get a flexible sealant, and bare or patched surfaces get primer. Everything that should not get paint is covered first, and the trim is cut in by hand. We book exterior repaints for the dry season, November through April, so the paint cures in dry air instead of racing an afternoon storm. - Wash-down and mildew treatment - Hairline stucco cracks sealed - Bare and patched spots primed - Windows, plants, and pavers covered - Trim, fascia, and shutters by hand - A walk-through with you in daylight > **A recent request:** One recent list asked for a faded front door repainted and a few touch-ups inside the house. A fresh front door is one of the quickest ways to make a house look cared for, and it fits on the same visit as the inside work. - [Soft wood or cracked stucco?](https://the-handyman-company.com/services/wood-rot-repair) ## Your Trim and Doors Get the Same Care as the Walls The trim is where a paint job shows how careful it was. Our painters do the fussy prep work first, then brush semi-gloss on in smooth, even coats. Hinges and knobs come off or get covered, never painted over. Our handymen handle the other handyman services too, like [carpentry](https://the-handyman-company.com/services/carpentry) and [drywall repair](https://the-handyman-company.com/services/drywall-repair), so the fixes and the paint happen on the same visit. Whether it is a split baseboard or a patch by the light switch, the same team fixes it and paints it, on one written price. - Nail holes filled, gaps caulked - Rough spots sanded smooth - Semi-gloss on trim and doors - Hardware removed or covered - New trim painted the week it goes up > **A recent request:** One list asked for a whole house interior, walls, trim, doors, and ceilings, with a list of small fixes for the same visit. We plan that kind of job room by room, so you can still live in the house, and each room is complete before the next one starts. - [New trim or baseboards?](https://the-handyman-company.com/services/carpentry) ## Picking a Sheen That Suits the Room The paint type and sheen are a durability choice first and a look second. You do not have to guess, and we will suggest one room by room at the estimate. - **Flat and matte** Best on ceilings and quiet walls. Flat hides patches, roller marks, and the small waves every wall has, which is why it is what we put on a ceiling. The trade is that scuffs do not wipe off as well. Our tip: Keep flat paint out of the hallway and the kids' rooms. Hands and backpacks find those walls first, and you will want to wipe them. - **Eggshell and satin** The everyday choice for Florida living rooms, bedrooms, and halls. It has enough sheen to wipe off a coffee drip, and not so much that it spotlights every drywall seam. Our tip: If you cannot decide, pick eggshell for the main rooms. It is the safe middle, and it is the easiest sheen to touch up later. - **Semi-gloss** For trim, doors, kitchens, the bathroom, and the laundry room. It scrubs clean and shrugs off moisture, but the shine shows every flaw underneath, so the sanding before it matters more. Our tip: Write the color name and sheen on a piece of tape inside a closet door. Next time a door or baseboard gets dinged, the match is right there. - **Exterior walls and trim** On stucco we like a flat or low-sheen body, because it hides texture patches. Trim, doors, and shutters get satin, so the details shed dirt and rinse clean with a hose. Our tip: Keep the leftover exterior paint in the house, not the garage. A closet stays cooler, and the paint will still be good for a touch-up. ## Painting Jobs We Are Glad to Take Between Big Repaints A painting handyman takes the jobs a whole house painter will not schedule. If one of these is on your to do list, it fits on one visit with the other tasks. - One accent wall, or one room, while the rest of the house stays as it is. - Touch-ups over a drywall patch, matched so the repair disappears. - Anchor holes left behind when a TV comes off the wall, filled and spot painted. - Garage walls painted with the paint you already bought. - A front door and shutters refreshed while the handyman is at the house. - Baseboards, casing, and crown painted the same week the carpentry goes up. - A ceiling stain primed and painted once the leak above it is fixed. Painting kitchen cabinets is the one paint job we leave to a cabinet refinisher, and we say so at the estimate. Everything else here rides along with the drywall, carpentry, and repairs already on your written price. ## What Moves the Price of a Paint Job Two rooms the same size can price differently. Several factors move the price of a painting project, and you should see them before you choose. We walk the job first, then put an accurate quote in writing. - **How much prep the walls need** Failing caulk, chalky stucco, old water damage, and the number of patches set most of the labor. Smooth walls in good shape go quickly. Walls that need fixing take longer, and we give you an honest look at what we found. - **Height and reach** Stairwells, vaulted ceilings, and second story walls are hard to reach areas that need taller ladders or planks. Working safely up high is slower than working from the floor. - **How big the color change is** Going from a deep color to a light one takes more coats than freshening the same color. We tell you when a color choice changes the labor, so you can decide with that in mind. - **Walls only, or walls and trim** Brushwork on trim and doors is time consuming, careful work. A walls-only refresh and a full repaint of walls, trim, doors, and ceilings are two different jobs, and the written estimate splits them out. ## Painting in Florida is its own trade Florida sun fades and chalks exterior paint on the south and west walls years before the rest of the house. The shaded side grows mildew instead. A repaint here starts with a wash-down and a mildew treatment, then sealed stucco cracks, so the next rainy season cannot get in behind a fresh coat. That prep is what gives a paint job a long life here. Timing matters as much as prep. Exterior paint needs dry walls and dry air to cure, and summer brings high humidity and an afternoon storm almost every day. That is why we paint outside in the dry months and fill the summer with interior work. If you call in July about the outside of the house, we will give you the estimate now and book the painting for the season that gives it a fair chance. ## What Customers Say > "Joshua is very reliable and conscientious.

For a free painting estimate, call 800-931-1106. ### When is the best time to paint the outside of a house in Florida? The dry season, November through April. Exterior paint needs dry walls and time to cure, and summer brings rain and heavy humidity most afternoons. We paint outside in the months that give the paint a fair chance and paint inside all year. ### Can you paint just one wall or touch up a few spots? Yes, and we are glad to. Touch up painting is some of our most common work: a patched hole, a scuffed hallway, one accent wall. We match your color from a leftover can, the lid, or a small chip, and if a faded wall will not match cleanly, we stop at a corner so the difference never shows. ### Can I buy the paint myself? Of course. Plenty of customers pick the color and buy the paint, and we bring everything else professional painters use: drop cloths, tape, patching, brushes, and rollers. If you would rather we supply quality materials, the paint goes on the written price, so nothing is added later. ### Do you repair the walls before painting? Yes, and a painter who skips it is not saving you anything. Nail holes, drywall dings, cracked caulk, and hairline stucco cracks are fixed as part of the prep. Bigger drywall or wood rot repairs go on the same estimate, so one handyman handles all of it. ### How much does interior or exterior house painting cost? Inside or out, the cost comes down to the prep, the height, how much trim is in the job, and how big the color change is. We look first, then put one price in writing, and it does not change once you approve it. When you compare bids, check that each one names the prep, the number of coats, and the cleanup. A bid that skips the prep does not save money in the long run. ### My shaded walls keep growing mildew. Will new paint stop it? Paint alone will not, and you are right to ask before spending on it. Mildew and other moisture problems have to be cleaned and treated first, so we are not sealing them under a fresh coat. Done in that order, the new paint stays clean far longer, though any shaded Florida wall still likes an occasional rinse as simple maintenance. ## Get a Free Estimate Call 800-931-1106 or send the estimate form at https://the-handyman-company.com/#free-estimate.
