“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 Painting: Walls & Ceilings
Whole rooms or whole houses, prepped, cut in, and rolled clean. Moving furniture, laying tarps, and protecting the floors is part of the task, and the room goes back together when we are done. 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 House Painting & Stucco
Wash the surface down, 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. Wood and aluminum siding get the same order of operations: cleaning, scraping the failed paint, then primer. Businesses too, since a storefront or a small commercial building books exactly the same way.
Deck & Fence Staining
Wood decks and fences cleaned and stained so the sun and weather take 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. The materials are ordinary; the order of operations is the quality. 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 are welcome, and we are glad to have them.
Prep Is the Job, Paint Is the Proof
Yes, we paint it, and we do the boring part first. 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. That is why a weekend DIY paint job looks fine for a month and tired by summer. The paint was never the problem; surface preparation decides whether paint holds. Our painters are our own employees, and they treat the prep as the job, because it is. Prep work is not glamorous, but it is what separates a paint job that lasts many years from one that needs redoing.
Inside, our interior painting covers walls, ceilings, trim, and doors, with 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. Exteriors get two coats, because Florida sun eats a single coat early and a second coat is cheaper than an early repaint. 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. We would rather tell you that than paint your house twice.
The Handyman Company has painted Florida houses and businesses since 1999. The estimate is free, the price is guaranteed in writing before we start, and the work carries our one year warranty, which covers the peeling and chipping a bad paint job develops. If you are selling the house, fresh paint is the cheapest facelift it will get. If you are staying, it is the easiest way to make the space feel new. Request a free estimate and you get a written plan, not a guess, from painters who live in the community they work in.

How an Exterior Repaint Actually Goes
- 1
Wash down 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, and the crew foreman walks the site before a sprayer comes out. 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.

Walk it in daylight
We walk the house with you in good light, touch up what either of us finds, and the job is complete when you say it is, not when the truck is packed. Clear expectations, checked in person.
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 thorough wash-down 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 that runs from fall into spring, November through April, and fill the summer with interior work. The patience is how you save money on the early repaint you never have to buy. If you call in July about the outside of the house, we will schedule it honestly instead of racing the rain.
What Moves the Price of a Painting Project
Painters who quote by the square foot sight-unseen are guessing at your prep. We quote the whole job, and you get to see what moves the number.
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 scaffolding, 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, so you can figure the trade before you choose.
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
Who is the best painting company in Florida?
The Handyman Company paints with employee painters who prep properly, which in Florida means dealing with chalking stucco, mildew, and sun-faded trim before any color goes on. Interior and exterior work both come with a written price and a one year warranty, and six local offices mean the crew is nearby for the touch-up visit. Since 1999 that approach has kept the company on the short list for homeowners and property managers alike.
When is the best time to get a house painted in Florida?
The dry season, November through April, and we will be straight with you about it. 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.
How many coats does a paint job need, and is DIY worth it?
Interiors usually take two coats over a similar color, and Florida exteriors always get two, because the sun eats a single coat early. For one bedroom with good walls, DIY is a fine weekend, and we mean that. The savings are real on small rooms, though cutting a straight ceiling line takes practice. The math changes with height, repairs, and exteriors. Our painters bring the prep skill, the ladders and scaffolding, the sprayers and brushes, and the liability insurance that protects your house if something goes wrong. A gallon of paint covers roughly three hundred fifty square feet, so the supply list is the cheap part of any job. The labor and prep are what you are buying, and our painters are our own trained employees, never subcontractors. Either way, we would be glad to look at the room and tell you honestly which it is.
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, and in older homes we sand with the caution lead-era paint deserves. 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.
What does interior painting cost compared to exterior?
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. Compare estimates if you like, and read what each one includes, because cheap bids usually price the paint and skip the prep. Check three things on any bid: prep, coats, and cleanup. Our written price spells out all three, and it is fixed before the first drop cloth goes down.
My shaded exterior walls keep growing mildew. Will new paint stop it?
Paint alone will not, and you are right to ask before spending on it. 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.
