Painting in St. Augustine
Single rooms or whole-house. Quality prep, two coats, clean lines, no rushed corners.
St Johns Handyman is a locally-owned handyman service based in Ponte Vedra Beach. We've been handling painting work across St. Johns County since 2010. St. Augustine is one of our most-served towns — about 35 minutes from our HQ.
St Augustine paint jobs are weather-tested. Old town homes need careful prep over original plaster + hand-applied paint layers. Newer west-side homes are standard. Salt air in Anastasia Island areas adds extra prep.
Common St Augustine painting jobs: interior repaint in west-side homes, exterior touch-up on stucco, cabinet refinishing, and trim refresh. We don't take historic-district work that requires preservation-board approval — that's a specialty.
What we typically do in St. Augustine
St. Augustine homes are typically older than the rest of our service area — 50 to 100+ years. The job mix reflects that: plaster patching (which we treat similarly to drywall, with the right approach), weatherproofing for original windows that won't be replaced, settled-door rehangs, and the everyday repair work that any home of any age needs. We don't take on full historic restoration — that's a specialty trade with permitting requirements — but day-to-day handyman work in St. Augustine homes is squarely in our lane.
