Alhambra is a late-1990s village on the Sumter County side north of CR 466, made up of patio villas and ranch-style single-family homes. At roughly 25 years old, most of these houses are on their second or third coat of exterior paint, and the next one deserves careful prep and a color plan that fits District 2’s rules.
Listing data puts the start of Alhambra around 1997, with the typical home built about 1999. The village mixes patio villas with ranch-style single-family houses, so one street can hold both a compact villa and a larger stand-alone home.
It sits in Sumter County within District 2, one of the residential districts that formed north of County Road 466 as The Villages grew out from Spanish Springs Town Square. That district detail matters more than you might think when it comes time to pick a color.
A home of this age has usually been repainted at least once. That means we are often painting over a previous contractor’s coat, and we check how well it is holding before deciding how much scraping, washing and priming the job needs.
Yes, with an application. Reporting from 2020 noted that District 2 had no pre-approved palette, which meant the original color was fine but any new color needed Architectural Review Committee approval. Rules can change, so we verify the current one first.
We check with Community Standards whether District 2 has adopted a palette since 2020 and what that means for your house.
For anything other than the original color, an Architectural Review Application goes to Community Standards at districtgov.org, (352) 751-3912. We help you put it together.
Wash, repair stucco, caulk and tape, then two full coats once the color is cleared.
You inspect the work with us before paying, and a written 7-year peel-and-chip warranty covers the paint.
The two home types in this village need slightly different plans. Here is how we usually approach each.
Twenty-plus years of sun opens small cracks around windows and corners. We patch and prime them so they disappear under the finish coats.
If your villa shares a wall or roofline with a neighbor, matching the approved color and keeping clean lines at the joint is part of the plan.
Open living areas, hallways and bedrooms repainted with walls, trim and ceilings in two coats.
Mildew and chalky residue come off before any paint goes on, so the new coat bonds to a clean surface.

We can walk you through the District 2 application.

In 2020 reporting, District 2 had no palette, so repainting in the original color was fine but any new color needed an Architectural Review Application. We confirm the current rule with Community Standards before your job starts.
Yes. Alhambra has both, and we paint both, inside and out, with the same prep, two coats and written warranty.
We scrape and sand loose paint, wash the walls, repair any stucco cracks and prime bare spots before the two finish coats go on.
