“…the exterior paint job on my 1928 Craftsman-style bungalow would only be described as perfect!”
5-Star Reviews
From Tampa Homeowners
“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.”
“Very neat, very professional, beautiful job. He can even help with picking the right colors.”
Wood & Stain FAQ
Straight Answers on Wood Staining & Finishing
Anything else, call or text Kevin.
Can shutters be refinished instead of replaced?
Often, yes. Kevin refinishes louvered shutters with Centurion two-component wood coatings, which, in his words, can “save thousands compared to replacements.”
How many coats go on a hardwood door?
It depends on the door and exposure. One flood-damaged door Kevin restored got five coats of marine-grade varnish, sanded between each coat.
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.
