Most single rooms (10×12) with two coats run $250–$700 including patching and trim. We use Sherwin-Williams or Benjamin Moore mid-grade paint and pass through the cost, or you can supply your own. We have served homeowners across the area since 2010 and we do not charge a call-out fee. Call (904) 871-5791.

What we do

Common interior painting jobs we take

Single rooms

Most living rooms and bedrooms 10×12 with two coats and trim run $300–$500. Ceilings add $100–$200.

Whole-house interior

Quoted as a package after a walk-through. We work room by room so your house is never fully torn up.

Cabinet refinishing

Sand, prime, two coats of cabinet-grade paint. A real cabinet refresh costs ~$2,000–$3,500 — far less than replacement.

Exterior siding & trim

Pressure wash, scrape, prime, two coats. Florida sun and salt are hard on paint; we use exterior-grade products.

Accent walls

Shiplap, board and batten, painted accent. We do the carpentry and the paint.

Touch-ups after repair

Always included with any drywall or carpentry job. We don't hand off a half-repaired wall.

What it costs

Honest ranges, no call-out fee.

Every job is different, but here's what most jobs in this category run. We give a firm estimate before we start, and you owe us nothing if you don't hire us.

What to expect

How the job actually runs.

  1. Color + scope

    Day before

    We confirm color choice (Sherwin-Williams or Benjamin Moore), sheen, and which surfaces are in scope. Pick up paint on the way to the job.

  2. Prep + protect

    45–90 min

    Move small furniture, cover floors and remaining furniture with drop cloths, mask trim and outlets, fill nail holes, sand glossy spots.

  3. Cut in

    60–90 min

    Cut clean lines along trim, corners, ceilings, and windows with a brush. Most rooms need 90 minutes of careful cutting before the roller comes out.

  4. Roll first coat

    30–60 min

    Roll the walls in two passes for an even first coat. Most single rooms 10×12 take about 45 minutes.

  5. Second coat

    Same day

    Once the first coat is touch-dry (2 hours in Florida humidity), cut in and roll a second coat. Second coat is when the color really settles in.

  6. Pull tape + walkthrough

    20 min

    Pull masking tape while paint is still slightly wet for clean edges. Move furniture back against walls only after 48 hours full cure.

How it works

Three steps, no surprises.

  1. 1

    Call or text

    Tell us what's wrong in a sentence — phone or a quick text with a photo.

  2. 2

    On-site estimate

    We come out, look at the job, and quote you a firm price. No call-out fee.

  3. 3

    Done

    Most jobs in this category are completed in a single visit. We clean up before we leave.

Why we don’t cut corners on prep

Most of what separates a paint job that looks great in year one from a paint job that still looks great in year five is prep. We patch every hole, caulk every gap, prime every bare spot, and sand between coats on trim. Skipping any of that is how you end up with peeling, alligatoring, or visible roller marks six months in.

Exterior painting in Florida — a note

Florida is hard on exterior paint. Salt-air corrosion in Ponte Vedra Beach, UV bleach on south-facing walls in Nocatee, and humid expansion-contraction cycles all shorten paint life. We recommend exterior-grade 100% acrylic with a 10-year warranty on labor and product. Cheaper exterior paint will start chalking inside three years.

What's in a quote

Honest line items. No mystery fees.

Here's exactly how we put a quote together for a typical small repair. Tap any row to see what each line covers.

  • Labor $180 3 hrs × $60/hr

    We charge a per-job rate when we can. When the scope is open-ended, we charge $60/hour per technician. We always tell you which it is before we start so you can decide.

  • Materials $42 drywall, primer, fasteners

    We pass through our cost on materials at no markup. Receipts on request. Anything we already have on the truck — patch kits, common fasteners — is included in labor at no extra charge.

  • Dump / disposal $25 haul-away of debris

    If the job creates more than a kitchen trash bag of waste, we add a small disposal fee. Smaller jobs are included in labor. For very large jobs (full room demos), a dumpster rental gets quoted separately.

  • Workmanship coverage $10 24-month workmanship coverage

    A small per-job amount that funds our 24-month workmanship coverage. If a covered workmanship issue comes up within 24 months of completion, we'll come back and make it right at no extra labor charge — see our Terms of Service for what's covered and what isn't.

  • Cleanup included drop cloths, vacuum, wipe

    Drop cloths, dust containment, vacuum, wipe — always included in labor, never a separate line. We leave the room cleaner than we found it.

  • Trip / service fee $0 no call-out or trip fee

    We do not charge a call-out fee or trip fee. The drive is on us. For very far jobs outside our standard service area (Hastings, parts of southwest St. Johns County) we may quote a small travel addition — we tell you about it upfront, never in the invoice.

Frequently asked

Interior painting — questions we get a lot

How much to paint a room?

Most single rooms (10×12) with two coats run $300–$500 including patching and trim. Larger rooms or two-tone walls run higher. Ceilings add $100–$200.

Do you supply the paint or do I?

Either way. If we supply, we use Sherwin-Williams or Benjamin Moore mid-grade and pass through the cost. If you supply, we recommend you buy enough for two coats (about 1 gallon per 350 sq ft of wall).

Will you move furniture?

We move small items and cover everything heavier in place. We don't move beds, appliances, or pianos.

How long does paint take to dry?

Most rooms are touch-dry in 2 hours and fully cured in 24. We don't put furniture back against walls for 48 hours.

What about ceilings and trim?

Quoted separately. Ceilings add roughly $100–$200 per room. Trim and baseboards add 15–25% to a typical room price.

Can you match my existing color?

Yes. Bring us a scrape from a hidden spot, or a paint chip — the local paint stores can color-match almost any sample.
