“…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.”
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 rebuilt the porch and 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.
