The Painting Process

What does your preparation process involve?

Preparation is the most important part of any paint job. For exterior projects, we pressure wash, caulk all joints and seams, prime any exposed wood, and repair any wood rot before paint goes on. For interior projects, we protect furniture and floors, repair drywall as needed, and prime surfaces before painting.

Do you repair wood rot before painting?

Yes. If we find wood rot during prep, we repair and seal it before any paint goes on. Painting over wood rot without repairing it first leads to premature paint failure.

What products do you use?

We use only premium paint products with the right additives for Florida’s climate, including mildewcide to resist mold and mildew and stain-blocking primers where needed. We’ll walk you through product selection as part of the estimate process.

Do you offer color consultation?

Yes. Our team will help you select the right colors for your home, including guidance on which colors hold up best in Florida’s intense sun and which work best for your home’s style and surroundings.

Warranty & Quality

Do you offer a warranty on your work?

Yes. All work is backed by a 5-year warranty covering both materials and labor.

What if I’m not happy with the results?

We don’t consider a job finished until you do. Before any payment is collected, we do a final walkthrough with you to review the work. If anything isn’t right, we make it right.

How do I know the job is done correctly?

Every CorsPaint project includes a checklist of completed action items and a final walkthrough before payment is ever collected. You’ll know exactly what was done and have the opportunity to review everything before we close out the job.

Specific Services

Do you paint pool decks?

Yes. CorsPaint stains and seals concrete pool decks across Gainesville and Alachua County. Pool deck staining enhances durability, improves foot traction, and keeps surfaces cooler underfoot during Florida’s summers.

Do you stain wood decks?

Yes. We stain and seal wood decks to protect against North Central Florida’s heat, humidity, and rainfall, preventing rotting and extending the life of your deck.

Do you offer power washing as a standalone service?

Yes. CorsPaint offers power washing as a standalone service, not just as part of a paint job. Power washing removes mold, mildew, and algae and is critical for maintaining your home’s exterior between paint jobs.

Do you do drywall repair?

Yes. We patch, sand, prime, and texture-match damaged drywall so the repair disappears seamlessly into the wall before paint goes on.
