Painting Services

Painting is one of those trades where experience really shows. From interior repaints and cabinet refinishing to specialty coatings that protect against moisture, mold, and fire damage, our team handles every project with the same level of care.

Our Three-Step Process

Step 1: Assessment and Preparation

We start with a detailed walkthrough of your property, identifying every surface that needs attention. This includes noting areas of damage, rot, peeling, or staining that require treatment before painting begins. We then prep all surfaces thoroughly, cleaning, sanding, patching, and priming

Step 2: Application

Using premium paints and coatings selected for your specific surfaces and conditions, we apply product with precision. Whether it’s brush, roller, or spray application, we match the technique to the surface for the best possible finish and coverage.

Step 3: Inspection and Touchup

After application, we perform a detailed inspection under multiple lighting conditions. Any areas that need touchup or an additional coat get addressed before we consider the job complete. We walk the finished project with you to make sure everything meets your expectations, and ours.

Interior and Exterior Painting for Every Property Type

We approach every painting project, inside or out, with a process built around thorough preparation, premium materials, and clean execution.

Cabinet Painting and Refinishing

Cabinet painting and refinishing is one of the most impactful upgrades you can make in a kitchen or bathroom without a full remodel. We sand, prime, and apply durable finishes designed to withstand daily use, grease, moisture, fingerprints, all of it. The result is a surface that looks factory-fresh at a fraction of the cost of replacement.

High-Ceiling, Stairwell, and Hard-to-Reach Areas

High-ceiling and stairwell painting requires specialized equipment and real experience working at height. It’s not just about owning a tall ladder, it’s about safely staging the work, maintaining consistent coverage on large vertical surfaces, and reaching awkward angles without compromising quality.

We use extension poles, scaffolding, and lift systems as needed to access hard-to-reach areas in both residential and commercial settings. Vaulted ceilings, two-story foyers, open stairwells, and elevated exterior surfaces all fall within our scope.

Water Damage

We identify the extent of the damage, ensure the area is fully dried and structurally sound, treat for mold if present, and then prime and paint with appropriate products. We’ve worked on properties dealing with everything from minor roof leaks to significant flooding, and the key in every case is addressing the root cause before picking up a brush.

Wood Rot Repair

Exterior wood rot repair is a common need we encounter, especially here in Florida where moisture and humidity take a toll on fascia boards, window trim, door frames, and soffits. We handle minor wood rot repair as part of our painting scope, cutting out damaged sections, treating surrounding wood, and installing new material that’s primed and painted to match.

Fire and Smoke Damage

We clean soot and residue, apply stain-blocking and odor-sealing primers rated for smoke damage, and then finish with durable topcoats. In many cases, drywall repair or replacement is necessary before any painting can begin, and our construction background means we handle that in-house rather than coordinating between separate trades.

Specialty Coatings and Protective Applications

Some situations require specialty coatings engineered to solve specific problems, blocking stains, sealing odors, resisting mold, or waterproofing exposed surfaces. We carry and apply a range of professional-grade products that go well beyond what you’d find at a retail paint counter.

Stain Blocking, Odor-Sealing, and Mold-Resistant Solutions. Stain blocking is essential when you’re dealing with water stains, smoke damage, nicotine discoloration, or tannin bleed from wood. Without a proper stain-blocking primer, those marks will ghost right through your new paint.
Odor-sealing primer applications. These work hand-in-hand with stain blocking, particularly in properties affected by smoke, pet odors, or long-term neglect. These primers encapsulate odor molecules at the surface level, preventing them from off-gassing into the living space after painting.
Mold-resistant coating. For bathrooms, basements, laundry rooms, and any moisture-prone area, we apply mold-resistant coating products that inhibit microbial growth on painted surfaces. It’s a proactive step that pays off significantly in Florida’s humid climate.
Elastomeric coatings. These thick, flexible finishes bridge hairline cracks and expand with the substrate as temperatures shift. They’re ideal for stucco, concrete block, and masonry surfaces that see a lot of thermal movement.
Masonry painting. Whether it’s brick, block, or poured concrete, these surfaces require specific preparation and compatible products. Not every paint adheres properly to alkaline masonry surfaces, and using the wrong product leads to peeling and efflorescence.
Wallpaper Removal. Older wallpaper, multiple layers, and adhesive residue can turn a weekend project into a nightmare fast. We strip it cleanly, repair the underlying surface, and prep it for a smooth, even paint application.

Frequently Asked Questions About Painting Services

Professional painting services cover interior and exterior painting, cabinet refinishing, wallpaper removal, specialty coatings, and surface preparation. At Montesanti Construction, services also include stain blocking, odor-sealing primers, mold-resistant coatings, elastomeric and waterproof applications, minor wood rot repair, and fire, smoke, and water damage repainting for both residential and commercial properties.

Surface preparation is the most critical step in any professional paint job. It includes power washing, sanding, patching, caulking, and priming to ensure a smooth, lasting finish. Without thorough prep, paint can peel, bubble, or fail to adhere properly, especially on exterior surfaces exposed to moisture and sun.

Painting costs vary based on property size, surface condition, paint quality, and project complexity. Specialty work like high-ceiling painting, elastomeric coatings, or damage restoration typically costs more. We’re happy to provide an estimate for your project.

For moisture-prone areas like bathrooms, basements, and laundry rooms, professional painters apply mold-resistant coatings, waterproof sealants, and elastomeric finishes.

Yes, professional painting services can restore surfaces after fire, smoke, or water damage. The process involves cleaning soot and residue, repairing or replacing compromised drywall, applying stain-blocking and odor-sealing primers, and finishing with durable topcoats.
