You just made one of the best investments you can make in your home — and we don’t take that lightly. For over 25 years, we’ve transformed more than 5,000 Jacksonville homes, and every single one started exactly where you are right now: excited, a little curious about what comes next, and ready for results you’ll love.
Here’s the truth: your hardest job is already done. You made the decision. From here, we take the wheel. Your dedicated project manager will guide you through every step — from color confirmation to final walkthrough. Our background-checked, uniformed crew will treat your property like their own. We handle the pressure washing, caulking, priming, and Florida heat — that’s our problem now, not yours.
Body, trim, and accents — we need all three confirmed at least 3 days before your start date so we arrive ready to go on day one. No delays. No surprises. Just a crew ready to bring your vision to life.
Everything else on this page is here to help your project run perfectly. Read through it once — it’ll take less than five minutes and it answers almost every question clients ask us before day one.
Exterior House Painting To-Do List
We handle everything on our end so you can focus on the exciting part — imagining what your home is going to look like when we’re done. These are the only things we need from you before day one, and most of them take less than ten minutes total.
Before we arrive, we ask that our customers please remove any valuable or fragile items from the workspace. This includes:
Most clients are comfortable with our crew on-site during work hours — but you don’t need to be home every day. The one thing we do need: access to your exterior doors so we can paint them properly. If you won’t be available, we offer lockboxes that can be placed discreetly outside your home to keep things secure and keep the project on schedule.
Select final paint colors at least 5–7 days prior to the start of the project! If you plan to color-match your existing colors, please let us know via email!

Select a finish for the body: flat or satin (we use satin and semi-gloss for doors & trim and flat for ceilings). Submit your exterior colors here!
Our painting crews usually arrive between 7:30–8:30 AM on the first day of starting your project. However, going forward they prefer to arrive early. Although, you can let them know the best time for you and your family and they will work within these times.
We may work longer hours than the other trades. Upon special circumstances, we may stay later than 5:30 PM.
Cut away any landscaping (bushes, trees, branches, & grass) that is growing up against the side of the house. Make sure the lawn is cut and weed-eat along the edges.
Make sure when painters arrive, there is access to water and power. Let our crew leads know which areas of the home would be best to set up shop and have a staging area for tools and equipment. When working inside your home, please let us know which bathroom our team can use. If we are working outside, our team will go to a local store.
If there are any significant changes from the painting proposal, the operations manager will gladly write you up a change order estimate and request your authorization via signature before any additional work can begin.
Your project manager monitors the forecast daily and will notify you of any schedule changes before they affect your day. Exterior painting is weather-dependent, but with 25 years in Jacksonville we know how to keep projects moving. No guessing, no last-minute surprises on your end.
Feel free to leave written messages for the painters if you are at work. The crew leader should ask you to do a walk-through the day before completion to see if there are any corrections to be made.
On the last day of the project, we ask the customer to be available for a final walkthrough with the crew leader to ensure all work is acceptable and up to expectations. If the customer does not make themselves available, we may not be able to reschedule and the walkthrough will need to be done by them due to scheduling restrictions.
