Interior & Exterior Painting · St. Augustine, FL
Painting Solutions for St. Augustine Homes
A New Leaf Painting Contractors is a Jacksonville-based Northeast Florida painting contractor serving St. Augustine and communities throughout St. Johns County. Interior and exterior painting, stucco and wood repair, and concrete and garage floor coatings. Since 2001 we've completed more than 5,000 projects — and most of them started with a problem rather than a color.
Interior
Refreshing a Home That's Lost Its Feel
Walls that are scuffed, dated or simply tired. The right color and finish changes how a room feels before you change a single piece of furniture. We handle living areas, vaulted ceilings and multi-story foyers where a consistent finish across large surfaces matters.
Florida homes can experience elevated humidity, so sheen, washability, ventilation, surface condition and room use all factor into the coating selection.

Finishing the Details Most Painters Skip
Crisp trim work is what separates a professional result from a rushed one. We handle baseboards, wainscoting, doors and crown molding with the preparation those surfaces actually require.
Wood trim responds to moisture and temperature change. Caulking and priming before the finish coat is what keeps those details looking right.

Solving What's Underneath Before It Becomes What's On Top
Holes, cracks, water-related damage and texture imperfections that get painted over elsewhere. We repair them first — including orange-peel and knockdown texture matching so the correction disappears rather than announcing itself.
Where damage is associated with an active leak, the source should be corrected before any coating is applied. Paint conceals a condition; it does not resolve it.

Exterior
Stucco Cracks & Failed Sealant
Stucco cracks, failed caulk joints, chalking and moisture-related defects should be evaluated and corrected as appropriate before repainting. A crack and a failed sealant joint are different conditions and don't automatically get the same treatment.
Conventional stucco and synthetic stucco (EIFS) are different substrates. The existing coating and observed condition determine the preparation and product selection.

Coastal Exposure & Weathering
Properties closer to the coast may experience greater exposure to wind-driven rain, UV, humidity and salt-laden air, making surface preparation and coating selection especially important. Exposure also varies elevation by elevation on the same house.
One side of a home may chalk and fade while another stays shaded and develops organic growth. Preparation is adjusted to what each elevation actually shows.

Fixing What's Failing Before the Paint Goes On
Soft wood, deteriorated fascia, failing siding and damaged trim boards that get coated over elsewhere. Repairs are completed before any finish is applied — deteriorated material repaired or replaced, siding re-secured, joints sealed where the detail calls for it.
Coating over deteriorated wood conceals the condition without correcting it. The repair still has to happen — usually later, and usually for more.

Why Painting a St. Augustine Home Isn't One-Size-Fits-All
A home a few blocks from the water and a home in a newer inland community can both be described as St. Augustine houses and still need genuinely different work. Substrate varies — conventional stucco, synthetic stucco, fiber cement, wood siding and trim all behave differently. So does the age and condition of whatever coating is already on the surface.
That's why we evaluate the property before quoting rather than pricing by square footage alone. The inspection determines the preparation, the repairs and the coating system — not the neighborhood name.
St. Augustine Painting FAQ
Questions St. Augustine Homeowners Ask
Do you provide painting services throughout St. Augustine and St. Johns County?
Yes. A New Leaf Painting Contractors is based in Jacksonville and serves St. Augustine, St. Augustine Beach, Vilano Beach, Anastasia Island, Palencia, World Golf Village, Murabella, SilverLeaf and communities throughout St. Johns County. Estimates are free and completed on site.
What should homeowners consider when repainting exterior stucco?
Cracks and failed sealant joints are different conditions and shouldn't automatically get the same treatment. Conventional stucco and synthetic stucco (EIFS) are also different substrates. We evaluate the existing coating, the cracking present and the surrounding condition before specifying preparation or product. More in our Stucco Resource Center.
Do you paint homes near the coast, including Vilano Beach and St. Augustine Beach?
Yes. Properties closer to the water may experience greater exposure to wind-driven rain, UV, humidity and salt-laden air, which makes surface preparation and coating selection especially important. Exposure varies by distance from the water, orientation and shelter — so the evaluation determines the approach rather than a standard coastal specification.
Can you help with HOA exterior color approvals in St. Johns County communities?
We can help organize the information an architectural review board typically requests — the proposed manufacturer, color names and numbers, sheen and the surfaces to be painted. The homeowner or association confirms the current approval requirements, and final approval remains with them.
Do you repair drywall, wood rot, stucco cracks or damaged trim before painting?
Yes, when included in the agreed scope. We evaluate damaged trim, fascia, siding, drywall and stucco during the estimate and identify what should be corrected before painting. Coating over deteriorated material conceals the condition without correcting it.
How much does a painting project in St. Augustine cost?
It depends on square footage, surface condition, repairs required, access and height, the number of colors, the coating system, and whether doors, trim and ceilings are included. Rather than quote a range that may not fit your home, we evaluate the property and provide a written estimate. See our exterior and interior cost guides for the factors involved.
