“Joshua is very reliable and conscientious. He did all the repairs and repainted the interior on my rental property. Very reasonable priced. His company is my first call when something needs fixing.”
“Josh Gonzalez did a great job painting our dock railings and doing some indoor maintenance. Very conscientious and thorough. Would definitely ask for again!”
“Alex made repairs to the ceiling, walls, and floor of my 2-car garage. Then he helped me with paint selection and he did a super job painting everything. He was very professional and friendly and showed up on time and left the job site clean. I highly recommend him.”
“The Handyman Company did a great job from beginning to end on the backsplash in my kitchen. Their communication was excellent, they showed up when they said they would and their workmanship was incredible. I had talked to a few companies prior and it was like pulling teeth trying to get those guys to follow up. The Handyman Company is run like a company is supposed to be run. I have already booked them for another job on my house and would recommend them to anyone looking for any type of work on their house.”

What We Handle
Interior Walls & Ceilings
Whole rooms or whole houses, prepped, cut in, and rolled clean. Ceilings included, which is where a careless painter shows first.
Trim & Doors
Baseboards, casing, crown, and doors, sanded and painted to a smooth finish. Trim is detail work, and it is where our painters earn their keep.
Exterior & Stucco Painting
Pressure-clean, patch the hairline cracks, prime the bare spots, then paint. Stucco repaints are most of our exterior work, and prep is most of a stucco repaint.
Deck & Fence Staining
Wood decks and fences cleaned and stained so the sun takes longer to gray them out again.
Repair, Then Paint
Drywall patches, wood filler, and caulk before the paint, so we are not painting over problems. One crew, one visit, one written price.
Color Matching & Touch-Ups
Match the existing color for a single wall, a patch, or the scuffed hallway the movers left behind. Small jobs welcome.
Prep Is the Job, Paint Is the Proof
Anyone can roll paint on a wall. The job is won or lost before the first coat goes on: filling the nail holes, caulking the gaps, sanding the rough spots, taping the lines, and protecting the floors. Skip the prep and the paint shows every shortcut. Our painters are our own employees, and they treat the prep as the job, because it is.
Inside, we paint walls, ceilings, trim, and doors, and we cut lines you will not find a wobble in. Outside, we handle the full Florida exterior: stucco, siding, fascia, and the repaint that faded, chalky walls have been asking for. Interior work runs year-round. Exterior painting belongs to the dry season, November through April, because summer rain and humidity ruin an exterior paint job before it can cure, and we would rather tell you that than paint your house twice.
The Handyman Company has painted Florida homes since 1999. The estimate is free, the price is guaranteed in writing before we start, and the work carries our one year warranty.

How an Exterior Repaint Actually Goes
- 1
Pressure clean and treat
Chalk, dirt, and mildew come off first, and shaded walls get a mildew treatment. Paint over a dirty or growing surface and the new coat fails from underneath.
- 2
Seal and prime
Hairline stucco cracks get a flexible sealant and bare or patched spots get primer. This is the step that keeps next rainy season out from behind your paint.
- 3
Mask and protect
Windows, fixtures, the driveway, and the landscaping get covered. A clean job site is not a courtesy, it is the difference between paint on the wall and paint on your pavers.
- 4
Body first, then the details
Walls get full coverage worked into the stucco texture, then trim, fascia, doors, and shutters get cut in by hand. The details are what you see from the driveway every day.
- 5
Walk it in daylight
We walk the house with you in good light, touch up what either of us finds, and leave when you are satisfied, not when the truck is packed.
Built for Florida
Painting in Florida is its own trade
Florida sun is brutal on exterior paint. UV fades and chalks south and west walls years before the rest of the house, and the shaded north side grows mildew instead. A proper repaint here starts with a pressure cleaning and a mildew treatment, not a paint can, and it uses the surface prep the last painter probably skipped: sealing hairline stucco cracks so the next rainy season cannot get behind the paint.
Timing matters as much as prep. Exterior paint needs dry walls and time to cure, and June through October delivers an afternoon storm almost daily. That is why we book exterior repaints for the dry season, November through April, and fill the summer with interior work. If you call in July about the outside of the house, we will schedule it honestly instead of racing the rain.
What Moves a Painting Estimate
Prep, more than paint
Failing caulk, chalky stucco, water stains, and patch count set the labor. Two houses the same size can price very differently once the prep list is honest.
Height and access
Second stories, vaulted foyers, and stairwell walls need ladders, planks, or staging, and working safely up high is slower than working off the floor.
How big the color change is
Going from deep tan to bright white takes more coverage than freshening the same color. We will tell you when the color you want changes the labor.
Trim, doors, and ceilings in scope
Brushwork is slow work. A walls-only refresh and a walls-trim-doors-ceilings repaint are different jobs, and the written estimate splits them out so you choose.

Interior & Exterior Painting: Common Questions
When is the best time to paint the outside of a Florida house?
The dry season, November through April. Exterior paint needs dry surfaces and time to cure, and summer delivers rain and heavy humidity almost every afternoon. We schedule exterior repaints for the months that give the paint a fair chance, and we do interior work year-round.
Who actually shows up to paint, employees or subcontractors?
Our own employees. The Handyman Company does not sub the work out, so the crew on your ladder is the crew we trained and stand behind, and their work carries our one year warranty.
Do you repair the walls before painting?
Yes, and you should not hire a painter who does not. Nail holes, drywall dings, cracked caulk, and hairline stucco cracks all get fixed as part of the prep. Larger drywall or wood rot repairs get scoped in the same written estimate so one crew handles all of it.
Can you match my existing paint color?
In most cases, yes. We can match from a leftover can, a lid, or a sample taken from the wall. If the existing paint is too faded for a clean match on a partial wall, we will tell you and suggest a natural break point like a corner so the difference never shows.
How much does painting cost?
Every painting quote is really a prep quote: surface condition, ceiling height, and how much trim is in scope decide the labor, so we walk the job before we name a number. The written price is fixed before the first drop cloth goes down, and the walkthrough costs you nothing.
My shaded exterior walls keep growing mildew. Will new paint stop it?
Paint alone will not. The wall has to be cleaned and treated first so we are not sealing mildew under a fresh coat. Done in that order, the new paint stays clean far longer, though any shaded Florida wall benefits from an occasional rinse.
