The word "professional" gets used loosely in the painting industry. Anyone with a paintbrush can call themselves a professional painter. The question is what that word actually means in practice — and whether it's backed by credentials, contracts, and accountability.
A New Leaf Painting Contractors has operated as a fully licensed, insured, and Google Guaranteed professional painting company in Jacksonville since 2001. Professional means a written contract before work begins, a background-checked crew from day one to final walkthrough, Sherwin-Williams® Emerald and Benjamin Moore® Aura exclusively, and a signed Iron-Clad Guarantee on every project. That is what professional painters near you should look like. If you need the best interior painters near you or licensed painting contractors near Jacksonville, we are the company the First Coast calls first.
Homeowners searching for professional painters near them are asking a specific question: how do I know who is actually qualified? Here is the checklist every legitimate professional painting company should meet — and what we deliver on every project.
750+ verified five-star reviews. Google Guaranteed. Iron-Clad Guarantee. Here is what that means on every project we complete in Northeast Florida.
We exclusively apply Sherwin-Williams® Emerald and Benjamin Moore® Aura on every project. These are the two highest-performing product lines available — engineered specifically for Florida's heat, humidity, and coastal conditions. No substitutions, no builder-grade products, ever.
Every painter who enters your home or works on your property has passed a full background check. No subcontractors, no rotating day laborers. The same crew from start to finish, led by a dedicated Crew Leader who provides daily updates throughout your project.
Before we open a single can of paint, our crew protects your home. Drop cloths on every floor, furniture moved and covered, trim and fixtures masked. We move through your home carefully and leave it cleaner than we found it every single day.
The number on your estimate is the number on your final invoice. No change orders without your approval, no material cost surprises, no last-minute add-ons. Every project starts with a fully itemized written contract — product name, sheen, coat count, prep scope, and timeline.
We are the professional painting company of choice in Jacksonville's most demanding HOA communities — Sawgrass, Eagle Harbor, Nocatee, Julington Creek, Deerwood, and OakLeaf Plantation. We handle color documentation and architectural review submissions as standard.
If the finish isn't flawless, your paint is 100% free. Delivered in writing on every project. No fine print, no arguments, no expiration. We have delivered this guarantee on 5,000+ projects in Northeast Florida since 2001. Read the full guarantee →
From full interior and exterior repaints to cabinet refinishing, stucco remediation, drywall repair, and specialty coatings — A New Leaf handles every painting and coating scope on your property using premium products exclusively.
This is the difference between a professional painting company and whoever shows up with a Facebook ad. Every A New Leaf project follows this exact process on every job, every time.
Thomas Drake or a senior estimator visits your property, assesses every surface, identifies prep requirements, and produces a fully itemized written proposal — exact product name, sheen, coat count, prep scope, and fixed total price. Same day. No vague square-footage bids.
You receive a signed contract before any work begins specifying everything in the proposal. The number you agree to is the number on your final invoice. No change orders without your approval. A clear start date and timeline committed in writing.
pH-balanced pressure washing, scraping, sanding, caulking, stucco crack injection, elastomeric sealing, priming — every prep step required for your specific surfaces is completed before a single coat of paint is applied. Prep is where the job is won or lost.
Minimum two finish coats of Sherwin-Williams® Emerald or Benjamin Moore® Aura applied by a background-checked, uniformed crew. Daily cleanup on every interior project. Daily Crew Leader updates so you always know the status of your project.
Before we leave, we walk every surface with you. Touch-ups completed on the spot. We don't consider the job done until you are completely satisfied. Every surface inspected, every edge checked, every area cleaned.
You receive your signed Iron-Clad Guarantee. If the finish isn't flawless, your paint is 100% free. No fine print, no time limits, no arguments. This is what professional painters near you should deliver — and what we have delivered on 5,000+ projects since 2001.
Professional painters cost more than unlicensed handymen — and for good reason. The difference in prep quality, product specification, written contracts, and guarantee protection makes the premium irrelevant within the first two years of a Florida paint job. Every A New Leaf estimate is fully itemized and fixed-price.
🔒 Fixed-price contracts. No surprise charges — ever.
"Thomas Drake came out personally, presented a written contract with every detail, and the crew executed it perfectly. Every single thing they promised was delivered. This is what a professional painting company looks like — I've hired enough of them to know the difference."
"I had four contractors give me bids and A New Leaf was the only one who measured the room, gave me specifics in the contract, and explained the products they'd use. The difference between professional painters and everyone else was obvious from the first conversation."
"Billy and Mike arrived at 7:00am each morning, cleaned up after themselves, moved furniture for us, and fixed our front door that had been dragging without being asked. Professional from start to finish — I will refer them to everyone I know."
"Our stucco had significant cracking that two other companies just painted over. A New Leaf identified it immediately, explained the correct process, and executed it perfectly. Three years later the finish still looks immaculate. That's professional. Worth every dollar."
These are not marketing badges — they are independently verifiable credentials. Ask every painting company you consider to show you the same before you sign anything.

A truly professional painting company near Jacksonville holds a valid Florida state contractor's license, carries general liability and workers' compensation insurance, provides a fully itemized written contract before work begins, uses premium products like Sherwin-Williams® Emerald or Benjamin Moore® Aura, employs background-checked crew, and backs every project with a written guarantee. A New Leaf Painting meets every single one of these standards — and has since 2001.
Professional interior painting starts around $1,200 for a standard room. Exterior repaints for a standard Jacksonville home start around $2,995. Cabinet refinishing starts at $1,800. Professional painters typically cost more than unlicensed painters — but the difference in prep quality, product specification, written contracts, and warranty protection makes that premium irrelevant within the first two years of a Florida paint job. See our full pricing guide.
They should be — but many are not. In Florida, any painting contractor performing work over $1,000 is legally required to hold a state contractor's license and carry general liability insurance. Hiring an unlicensed painter can void your homeowner's insurance on that scope and leave you personally liable for job-site injuries. Always verify at myfloridalicense.com before hiring anyone. A New Leaf is fully licensed, insured with $5M+ in coverage, and Google Guaranteed.
Google Guaranteed is a verification program through Google's Local Services Ads. Contractors who earn this badge have passed independent background checks and had their license and insurance verified by Google. It is the highest third-party trust signal available for local painting contractors — and it shows prominently in mobile search results and the Map Pack. A New Leaf Painting is Google Guaranteed. You can verify directly in Google's Local Services.
Yes — and if they don't, they are not professional. A New Leaf provides a fully itemized written contract on every project specifying exact product name, sheen, coat count, prep scope, timeline, and fixed total price. The number on your estimate is the number on your final invoice. No change orders without your approval, no surprise material charges, no last-minute additions. If a painter won't put it in writing before they start, walk away.
Professional painters in Jacksonville specify products engineered for Florida's climate — UV resistance, humidity management, mildewcide chemistry, and elastomeric sealing for stucco substrates. A New Leaf exclusively applies Sherwin-Williams® Emerald and Benjamin Moore® Aura — the two highest-performing product lines available, specifically engineered for Florida's heat, humidity, and coastal salt air conditions. We never use builder-grade products regardless of project size.
Look for: a valid Florida contractor's license (verify at myfloridalicense.com), Google Guaranteed status, BBB A+ accreditation, 50+ verified reviews across multiple independent platforms, a written itemized contract before work begins, and a written guarantee on the finished work. A New Leaf Painting meets every one of these standards — with 750+ verified five-star reviews across Google, Facebook, Angi, BBB, Houzz, and Nextdoor, and 5,000+ completed projects since 2001.
Yes — always. Every estimate from A New Leaf Painting is free, no-obligation, and includes a fully itemized written proposal specifying exact product names, sheens, coat count, prep scope, and timeline. Thomas Drake, the owner, conducts many estimates personally. Request your free estimate here or call us at (904) 615-6599.

Professional painters back their work in writing. A New Leaf's Iron-Clad Guarantee is simple: if the finish isn't flawless, your paint is 100% free. No fine print, no time limits, no arguments.
