Everything we do inside and outside a house sits on this page. Walls, ceilings, trim, doors, cabinets, texture, pool decks and the pressure washing that has to happen first.
Color Masters Painting is an owner run crew in South Daytona, painting in this county since 2014. Robert prices the work himself and is on site for it. Most of our residential jobs land in Port Orange, South Daytona, New Smyrna Beach and DeLand, and we work across the rest of Volusia County and into Flagler.
Can You Paint the Whole House, Inside and Out?
Yes, and doing both at once is usually cheaper than doing them a year apart. One mobilization, one crew, one set of drop cloths.
A straight exterior repaint runs about $1.50 per square foot under roof, which is an honest starting point rather than a quote. Interiors price differently because wall height, trim, crown molding, baseboards and whether we need a lift all move the number. We walk the house, measure, and put it in writing.
How Do You Paint Inside a House People Live In?
Room by room, and we move your furniture rather than asking you to. Everything gets covered, floors included, and the work area gets put back together at the end of each day instead of at the end of the job.
Walls, ceilings, trim, doors and closets. Doors come off and get sprayed, because a sprayed door has no brush marks in it. If you have pets, tell us which rooms they use and we will keep those doors shut and warn you before we prop anything open.
Need a Painter and Not Sure Who to Call?
Ask whoever bids your house three things. What exactly is included, what preparation are you doing, and can I see the warranty in writing.
Ours: estimates are free and itemized, residential jobs take 20% down when you sign and the balance at the end, and the contract spells out the warranty, the products and the exclusions before you commit to anything. Robert prices the work, he is on site for it, and he answers the phone himself on (386) 631-6056.
What If the Existing Paint Is Already Failing?
Then the repair is the job and the paint is the easy part. Chalky walls get Loxon Conditioner so the new coat has something solid to bond to. Mildew gets treated and washed off, not painted over.
Hairline cracks in stucco get filled with elastomeric patching compound or a masonry sealant before anything goes over them. Rusted nail heads get cleaned back and primed with Rust Destroyer, because rust bleeds through a finish coat and leaves a brown streak down your wall inside a year.
Why Does Every Job Start With a Pressure Wash?
Because paint will not bond to a dirty or chalky wall, and in this climate every exterior has mildew on the shaded side whether you can see it or not.
We pressure wash or soft wash depending on what the surface will take, and we only reach for cleaning chemicals where mildew has really dug in. Then the house dries a full 24 hours before any paint goes on. This is part of the paint job, not an add-on line. We do not take wash-only work, because washing a house and then leaving it unpainted just strips it.
Can You Match or Change the Wall Texture?
Both. Knockdown, orange peel and smooth are the three we get asked for most, and we can put a new texture on a wall or match what is already there.
Matching matters more than people expect. If a drywall patch is smooth and the wall around it is knockdown, the repair shows straight through the paint in side light, so we match the texture and let it cure before priming. Changing a texture is its own job, so say so at the estimate and we will price it separately.
Can You Do Just the Trim and Doors?
Yes. Baseboards, casing, crown, window frames, interior doors and closet doors on their own, without repainting the walls.
It is a popular job after new flooring goes in, when the old baseboard suddenly looks tired next to the new floor. On exteriors, trim, fascia, soffits, front doors, shutters and garage doors are already in the estimate rather than billed as extras.
What Is Whitewash, and Will It Work on My Brick?
Whitewash is a thinned finish that soaks into brick or block and lets some of the texture and color underneath show through, so you get a softer, lived-in look instead of a flat painted wall.
It works best on porous brick, block and some wood. It is a one-way decision, though. Once brick is coated it needs recoating down the line rather than stripping, so we will tell you honestly at the estimate whether your surface suits it.
Can You Coat a Pool Deck?
Yes, and pool decks are quoted separately from the house because they are their own job with their own preparation.
The deck gets cleaned, any spalling or cracking gets repaired, and then it is coated in a product meant for a surface that is wet, hot and walked on barefoot. Driveways and fences also price separately for the same reason. Tell us what you want covered at the walkthrough and it will be itemized rather than buried in one number.
Do You Resurface Bathtubs and Tile?
A yellow tub with yellow wall tile and yellow grout can come back pure white in a couple of days, and nothing has to come off the wall. Against a tear out, the saving is not close.
It is slow, careful work in a small space, so we take it on for people who already have us in the house painting rather than as a one-off call. There is a Daytona Beach tub and tile job in our portfolio if you want to see what the change looks like.
Can You Coat a Garage Floor?
Yes. A tired slab with a crack across it and oil staining by the door can come back as one even floor over a weekend.
The crack is the part that decides whether it lasts. It gets cut out and filled before anything goes over it, because a coating bridges a moving crack for about a season and then splits along the same line. Oil spots get degreased and the slab gets etched so the coating has something to grab. Heavier floor work, the kind taking forklift traffic in a warehouse, sits on our commercial painting page.
Do You Paint Kitchen Cabinets?
We do, and it costs a fraction of new cabinets on a kitchen where the boxes are still sound. Doors and drawer fronts come off, get degreased, scuffed and sprayed, so the finish has no brush marks in it.
There is more to it than fits here, so the detail lives on the cabinet painting page.
Want a Price on Your House?
Tell us what you want painted and we will come out, measure, and put a written price in your hands. Estimates are free and there is no pressure to book.
