Lake air and Florida sun

Why does prep matter so much on Tavares homes?

Tavares calls itself America’s Seaplane City, and homes here take a real beating from lake humidity, Florida sun and heavy summer storms. From the lakefront neighborhoods to the 55-plus communities and established streets throughout town, skipped prep and thin coats fail early.

That’s why every job starts with proper cleaning and full caulk-and-tape prep, then two full coats on everything.

The stakes

What does a cheap paint job really cost?

A low bid feels good the day you sign. Then the trouble shows up. You paid for two coats and got one, so the old color grins through by year two. The lines around your trim and ceilings look shaky. There’s paint where paint shouldn’t be, on your floors, your countertops and your furniture. And when it starts peeling, that painter doesn’t call you back.

Now you’re paying twice: once for the bad job, and again to have someone strip it and redo it right. Paying a little more for real prep and two full coats up front is almost always cheaper than fixing a corner-cut job later.

Frequently asked questions

What warranty do you offer on painting in Tavares?

Our interior and exterior painting carries a 7-year peel-and-chip warranty, in writing. Interior epoxy carries a lifetime warranty, and exterior coatings carry a 5-year warranty with a maintained plan. We also call you a year after the job to make sure everything’s holding up.

How soon can you start my Tavares project?

It depends on the season and our current schedule, but we’ll give you a realistic start date when we quote your job. Reach out early so we can lock in a time that works for you.

The people behind the work

Who paints your Tavares home?

We get it. Picking a painter is stressful, and nobody wants their house in disarray for a week while strangers work. McWilliams Painting is owned by Weston McWilliams, a working painter who built the company on one idea: quality over quantity. He’d rather do fewer jobs right than a pile of them cheap. He’s married with kids, lives right here in the area and is active with local business groups BNI and BEST 352.

You won’t always see Weston on your site, and that’s on purpose. His foremen have been with him 6-plus years and run the work to his standard. Our crews have painted 2,000 to 3,000 homes across The Villages and Lake County.

Kitchens

Do you refinish kitchen cabinets in Tavares?

Yes. Cabinet refinishing is one of our specialties. We give your existing cabinets a durable, smooth finish that updates your kitchen for far less than the cost of replacing them.
