Need Units Painted and Turned on Schedule?

You’ve got units to fill and a calendar that doesn’t wait. When a tenant moves out, every day that unit sits empty costs you rent. You need a painter who shows up, paints it right, and hands it back ready to lease. That’s what we do. McWilliams Painting turns apartment units and repaints building exteriors across Lake, Sumter and Marion counties, with steady crews and dependable timing. We put two coats on everything, do full caulk-and-tape prep, and give you a written price the same day. And you don’t pay until you’re happy with the work. If you manage a complex in Central Florida and want a painter you can count on turn after turn, let’s talk.

What does a slow turn really cost you?

A vacant unit is money leaving your pocket every single day. If a turn drags a week longer than it should, that’s a week of lost rent you never get back. And if the paint job comes out sloppy, you feel it twice: once when the crew leaves lines crooked and paint on the floor, and again when a prospect walks the unit and passes on it. Cheap and quick sounds good until you’re repainting the same wall a year later or explaining to your owner why the building looks patchy. You shouldn’t have to babysit a painter or chase them to finish. The right crew keeps your units moving and your buildings looking cared for, so leasing gets easier, not harder.

What multifamily painting do you handle?

We cover the full range a property needs, whether it’s one unit between tenants or a whole exterior refresh. Our crews have been together 6-plus years, so the same hands that painted one building know how to match the next. We handle unit turns, building exteriors, common areas, ceiling and drywall repair, and pressure-washing prep. The full list is below, and you can read more on our interior painting and exterior painting pages.

How fast can you turn a unit?

A standard one or two bedroom interior repaint usually takes one to two working days once we start, depending on drywall repairs and how many units go at once. Because our crews stay together, we can staff a block of units and keep them moving instead of stopping and starting. We agree on the schedule up front and stick to it. If you have a batch of move-outs coming, tell us the dates and we’ll build a plan around your lease calendar. You get a foreman on site and a clear point of contact, not a rotating cast you have to re-explain the job to every week. That’s how we keep your turns predictable.

How do you keep finishes consistent?

When you manage a whole complex, every unit and every building should look like it belongs to the same property. We keep your colors, sheens and products on file so unit 12 matches unit 112, this year and next. We use Sherwin-Williams paint, two coats on everything, and full caulk-and-tape prep so lines stay straight and edges stay clean. On exteriors we back the paint with a 7-year peel-and-chip warranty, so the buildings hold their look instead of fading and flaking after one summer. Same crew, same standard, same result across the property. That consistency is what makes a complex easy to lease and easy to keep.

Who’s behind McWilliams Painting?

Weston McWilliams runs McWilliams Painting out of Fruitland Park, Florida. He’s married with kids and known around the area through BNI and BEST 352. His crews have painted somewhere between 2,000 and 3,000 homes in The Villages, and many of the same painters have been with him 6-plus years. Weston keeps it simple: quality over quantity, stand behind the work, and follow up a year later to make sure it’s still right. For property managers that means a painter who answers, keeps his word, and treats your buildings like his own.

Why not just hire the cheapest painter?

The lowest bid usually shows up as one coat where you paid for two, sloppy lines, and paint on the floors. We’re different: two coats on everything, full caulk and tape, the same crew of 6-plus years, a 7-year peel-and-chip warranty on exterior paint, and no payment until you’re satisfied.

(352) 626-8007
Can you handle painting multiple units at once?

Yes. Our crews stay together year over year, so we can staff a block of units and keep them moving. Give us your move-out dates and we'll build a schedule around your lease calendar.

How fast is an apartment unit turn?

A standard one or two bedroom interior repaint usually runs one to two working days once we start, depending on drywall repairs. We agree on the schedule up front and stick to it.

Do you paint building exteriors too, or just units?

Both. We repaint building exteriors, trim, stucco and common areas as well as turning individual units. Exterior paint is backed by a 7-year peel-and-chip warranty.

Will the paint match across all my buildings?

Yes. We keep your colors, sheens and products on file so every unit and building matches this year and next. Same crew, same standard, same result across the property.

Do you require a deposit?

No. You don't pay until you're satisfied. We walk each unit or building with you before payment so you can see the finished work first.

What paint do you use for apartment complexes?

We use Sherwin-Williams paint with two coats on everything and full caulk-and-tape prep. That keeps finishes durable and lines clean, which matters when units get heavy tenant turnover.

Can you work around occupied units and tenants?

Yes. We're used to working on active properties and keep common areas and occupied buildings clean and safe during the work. We coordinate access and timing with your office.

How do I get a price for my complex?

Call (352) 626-8007 or request a quote online. Tell us the number of units, buildings and your timeline, and we'll give you a same-day written price with clear scope.
