Old wood needs patience.

Historic Home & Bungalow Painting in Tampa

Seminole Heights, Hyde Park, Tampa Heights and South Tampa. Wood that has moved through 90-plus Florida summers doesn’t respond to a pressure washer on high and a crew in a hurry.

What’s Included

How We Treat an Old House

Most of the bungalows on this site were scraped back to sound wood before any paint went on.

“Its nice to have so many clients that trust and appreciate all of the man hours and works we put into these old homes to help keep them preserved for another 100+ years.”

  3. Period-appropriate colorBody, trim and accent chosen to read as one house.
  4. Details cut in by brushPorch details, knee braces and columns, not sprayed flat.

From Tampa Homeowners

S Spencer C.Customer Review

“I worked with Kevin to do a full interior repaint of our new home in South Tampa back in July. Kevin and his team did an excellent and thorough job, and worked with us through every step of the process, from testing various paints to ensuring that hardware was properly removed and baseboards were properly prepped.”

G Gerald P.Customer Review

“Very neat, very professional, beautiful job. He can even help with picking the right colors.”

Historic Homes FAQ

Straight Answers on Historic Home Painting

Anything else, call or text Kevin.

Do you work on 100-year-old homes?

Often. One South Tampa client had Prestige paint their 100-year-old home’s interior, then its exterior a year later, and called back a decade after that for another full exterior.

What if the wood is rotten?

Rotten sills, trim and brackets are repaired or replaced before painting. Paint over rot just hides it for a season. On one Seminole Heights bungalow, Pro Historical releveled the porch and repaired the pillars while Prestige handled the prep and paint.

Do you use subcontractors?

No. Every painter on your property works directly for Prestige and is covered by workers’ compensation and liability insurance. Subcontractors are paid by the job, which rewards speed over quality.

What’s in the estimate?

A written, line-item estimate: every surface, the prep it needs, the product line by name and the number of coats. If something is excluded, it says so. It’s free and there’s no follow-up pressure.
