You’ve lived here long enough to spot a rushed paint job. Sloppy lines. One coat where you paid for two. Paint on the driveway and the lanai screen. That’s not what you want on your home, and it’s not what we do, inside or out.
Whether you’re in a courtyard villa, a designer home, or a home near the squares, we handle the jobs Villages homeowners ask for most. We keep it higher-end and warranty-backed, not quick and cheap. Here’s where we shine.
Full prep, two coats and a 7-year peel-and-chip warranty, built for south and west walls that bake all afternoon.
Done clean, with straight lines and your floors and furniture covered.
Update your kitchen without a full remodel: prepped, sprayed and finished smooth.
Polyaspartic and epoxy coatings that hold up to Florida heat and moisture.
Popcorn ceiling removal, drywall repair and ceiling refinishing for smooth, fresh rooms.
Want the full list? See all of our services, or request a free estimate and we’ll walk your home with you.
Homes in The Villages take a beating from the Florida sun. Many newer homes need an exterior repaint within about 5 years, sometimes sooner on the south and west walls that bake all afternoon. When you take the lowest bid, you often pay twice: the paint fades and chalks fast, the caulk cracks at the seams, and within a couple of summers you’re calling someone again.
There’s a quieter cost too. A cut-corners crew leaves your house in disarray for days, tracks overspray onto your pavers, and never calls back once the check clears. You shouldn’t have to babysit a painter or chase a warranty that was never written down. You’re not shopping on price alone; you want the job done right. Picking right the first time saves you the redo, the mess and the worry.
Prep is where most of the work happens, and it’s where the cheap bids cut. Before a drop of paint goes on, we:
On exterior and interior painting, you get a 7-year peel-and-chip warranty in writing. Interior epoxy floors carry a lifetime warranty, and exterior floors carry 5 years with a maintained plan. That one-year follow-up is a promise the price-cutters can’t match, because they’re already onto the next quick job.
The Villages spans three counties and more than five decades of homes. Pick the area closest to you: the original town squares plus Sawgrass Grove and Eastport Town Center. Each page lists its villages, the era of the homes, and how color approval works there.
The original town square, opened in 1994 in Lady Lake. Its 30 nearby villages run from 1970s Orange Blossom Gardens to early-2000s homes in Sumter and Marion counties.
The waterfront square on Lake Sumter. Its villages fill the band between CR 466 and CR 466A and were built roughly 2003 to 2012.
The Old Florida cattle-town square that opened in 2012 in Wildwood, with District 10 homes north of SR 44 and the Fenney area to the south.
The dining and entertainment hub along Meggison Road, opened in 2022, surrounded by newer villages built in the early 2020s.
The newest town center, on Central Lake, opening in phases since late 2025. Its villages in Districts 15 and 16 date from 2024 on.

Weston McWilliams owns McWilliams Painting and runs it plain and honest, from our base in Fruitland Park. He’ll even tell you to get three estimates, because he’s confident in what a careful crew delivers.
