The word “professional” gets used loosely in the painting industry. Anyone with a paintbrush and a truck can call themselves a professional painter. The real question is what that word means in practice — and whether it's backed by credentials, process, and accountability you can verify before signing a proposal.
A professional painter should provide proof of insurance, a written itemized proposal, a clear surface preparation scope, named premium paint products, background-checked crews, daily communication and cleanup, a final walkthrough, and a written workmanship guarantee. Those are the standards Jacksonville homeowners and businesses should expect — and the standards A New Leaf Painting has met on 5,000+ projects throughout Northeast Florida since 2001.
A professional painter should do more than show up with brushes and paint. The estimate, the prep scope, the crew, the daily communication, the cleanup, and the warranty — every step should hold up to scrutiny. Here is the 11-point checklist a legitimate professional painting company should meet, and what we deliver on every project.
When you compare professional painters near you against these eleven points, the right contractor becomes much easier to identify.
A painter may be able to apply paint. A professional painter should provide a clear written proposal, surface preparation standards, product specifications, property protection, communication, cleanup, insurance documentation, crew accountability, and a final walkthrough. For Jacksonville homes exposed to heat, humidity, rain, UV, and coastal salt air, professionalism shows up long before the first coat is ever applied.
750+ verified five-star reviews. Google Guaranteed. Iron-Clad Guarantee. Here is what that means in practice on every project we complete in Northeast Florida.
We use premium Sherwin-Williams® and Benjamin Moore® products selected for the surface, finish, exposure, and project type — including Emerald, Duration, Loxon XP, Emerald Urethane, Regal, and Aura. Not a one-size-fits-all approach. Specified for Florida's heat, humidity, and coastal conditions.
Every painter who works on your property has passed a background check. Background-checked crews led by a dedicated crew leader, with clear daily communication from start to finish so you always know who is on your property and what is happening that day.
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 clean every evening.
Every project begins with a fully itemized written proposal. Your proposal clearly outlines the approved scope and price. If additional work becomes necessary during the project, we discuss it, document it, and get your approval before moving forward.
We are a trusted professional painting company 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.
Our written Iron-Clad Guarantee explains how we stand behind the finish and workmanship on your project. 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 — our painting crew handles every painting and coating scope on your property using premium products selected for the surface and project type.
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.
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 total project price. No vague square-footage bids.
You receive a written proposal before any work begins specifying everything in the scope. Your written proposal clearly outlines the approved scope and price. If additional work is needed during the project, we discuss it, document it, and get your approval before moving forward.
pH-balanced pressure washing, scraping, sanding, caulking, stucco crack treatment, elastomeric sealing, priming — every prep step required for your specific surfaces is completed before a single coat of paint is applied. Surface preparation is where the job is won or lost.
Minimum two finish coats of premium Sherwin-Williams® or Benjamin Moore® product (Emerald, Duration, Loxon XP, Aura, or other project-appropriate coatings), 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 have signed off on the finished work. Every surface inspected, every edge checked, every area cleaned.
You receive your signed Iron-Clad Guarantee. Our written guarantee explains how we stand behind the finish and workmanship on your project. We have delivered this guarantee on 5,000+ projects in Northeast Florida since 2001.
Professional painters typically cost more than unlicensed handymen — and for good reason. The difference in surface preparation, product specification, written proposals, and warranty protection compounds over the life of the finish in Florida's climate. Every A New Leaf estimate is fully itemized and quoted as a fixed total project price.
🔒 Fully itemized written proposals. Fixed project pricing. Any change in scope is documented and approved before work continues.
"Thomas Drake came out personally, presented a written proposal with every detail, and the crew executed it carefully. 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 proposal, 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 carefully. Three years later the finish still looks great. That's professional. Worth every dollar."
These aren't marketing badges — they're verifiable credentials that help protect you, your home, and your family. Every one is independently verifiable. Ask any professional painter you consider to show you the same.

A truly professional painting company near Jacksonville provides proof of insurance, a fully itemized written proposal before work begins, detailed surface preparation standards, premium paint products selected for the surface, background-checked crews, daily cleanup and communication, verified reviews across multiple platforms, a clear final walkthrough, and a written workmanship guarantee. A New Leaf Painting has met those standards in Jacksonville since 2001.
Start by asking each painter for: current proof of insurance, a written itemized proposal, the exact paint products they'll use, a clear prep scope, and details on how they protect your home during the project. Then check verified reviews across Google, Facebook, BBB, Angi, Houzz, and Nextdoor — not just the company's own website. A professional painting contractor will provide all of this in writing before you sign anything.
Yes. Before hiring any painter, ask for current general liability and workers' compensation documentation — the actual certificate, not a screenshot. Insurance helps protect your home, the crew, and you if property damage or job-site injuries occur. Hiring uninsured workers can create serious risk. A New Leaf Painting carries $5M+ in coverage and provides certificates of insurance on request before any work begins.
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 uses premium Sherwin-Williams® and Benjamin Moore® products including Emerald, Duration, Loxon XP, Emerald Urethane, Regal, and Aura, selected based on the surface, finish, exposure, and project type. Not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Yes — and if they don't, they aren't operating professionally. A New Leaf provides a fully itemized written proposal on every project specifying exact product name, sheen, coat count, prep scope, timeline, and total project price. Your written proposal clearly outlines the approved scope and price. If additional work is needed during the project, we discuss it, document it, and get your approval before moving forward. If a painter won't put it in writing before they start, that's a strong signal to look elsewhere.
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 gives homeowners another layer of confidence because participating companies are screened through Google's program. A New Leaf Painting is Google Guaranteed.
EPA Lead-Safe Certification applies when contractors disturb painted surfaces in pre-1978 homes or child-occupied facilities. If your home was built before 1978, ask whether the painting company is EPA Lead-Safe Certified before work begins — it's a federal requirement, not optional. A New Leaf Painting is an EPA Lead-Safe Certified Firm.
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 budget painters — but the difference in surface preparation, product specification, written proposals, and warranty protection compounds over the life of the finish in Florida's climate.
