Our work

A finish that holds up between tenants

Siding, trim, doors and the carport entry tenants walk through every day, painted with full prep and two coats so the unit looks right for the next lease.

The stakes

What a slow painter costs

Every day a unit sits empty is rent you don’t collect. When a painter shows up late, skips a coat, or leaves lines you have to touch up yourself, that delay lands on you. You get the owner’s phone call, not the painter. And a cheap turn that looks fine on day one can show scuffs and thin coverage in a few months, so you’re repainting the same wall twice in a year.

How we work with managers

Owner Weston McWilliams has been in the trade since 2012 and runs every job with the same rules: full caulk-and-tape prep, two coats on everything, and clean lines. Before you pay, a foreman and your rep walk the unit together so nothing gets missed. On paint work you also get our 7-year peel-and-chip warranty, which means fewer callbacks and fewer owner complaints landing on your desk.

Can we set up recurring painting for our portfolio?

Yes. Most managers we work with want the same crew on standby for turns, repairs and repaints as they come up. We can set up a recurring arrangement so you don’t re-shop the job every time a tenant moves out. You give us the unit and the scope, we give you a written price and a date, and we get it turned.

Because our crews stay steady, your color standards, your trim finish and your line quality stay the same across every property. That consistency matters when an owner walks two units back to back. We can also handle standing needs like exterior repaints on a cycle and common-area touch-ups. Tell us your schedule and volume, and we’ll build a way of working that fits.

What does a slow or sloppy painter really cost you?

You shouldn’t have to babysit the crew or re-inspect every room. The right painting partner keeps units moving, keeps the finish consistent from door to door, and gives you one number to call. That’s the difference between a vendor and a partner you can count on.

How does McWilliams Painting work with property managers?

We keep it simple so you don’t have to manage us. You get one point of contact who knows your properties and your standards, not a new face every visit. Our crews have been together six-plus years, so the quality stays the same whether we paint one unit or ten. We’ve painted an estimated homes in The Villages, so turning rentals fast and clean is familiar ground for us.

What painting work do you cover for rentals?

Interior repaints between tenants, walls, trim and doors
Exterior repaints and touch-ups on a maintenance cycle
Drywall patching and repair before paint

Do you handle multiple properties for one manager?

Yes. We regularly work with managers who have several units and a mix of interior and exterior needs. You get one point of contact who knows all your properties, so you're not re-explaining your standards each time. We keep the same crew on your work for consistent quality.

Can we set up recurring painting work?

We can. Many managers keep us on standby for turns, repairs and cycle repaints. Give us the scope and schedule and we'll build a recurring arrangement so you don't re-shop each job. Our crews stay steady, so quality stays the same across every unit.

How do your estimates work?

Estimates are free. Send the unit details or book a walk-through, and we give you a written price the same day with a clear scope. There's no vague pricing and no pressure. Before you pay, a foreman and your rep walk the finished unit together.

How fast can you turn a rental unit?

Turn time depends on the size and the scope, but we know units can't sit off the market. Tell us your deadline when you request the estimate and we'll give you a realistic date in writing. Steady crews help us keep to the schedule.

Do you offer a warranty on rental painting?

Yes. Our paint work carries a 7-year peel-and-chip warranty, which means fewer callbacks between tenants. We also do a one-year follow-up. That protection cuts down owner complaints landing on your desk.

What areas do you cover?

We serve Lake, Sumter and Marion County, Florida, including Leesburg, Eustis, Tavares, Mount Dora, Ocala, Wildwood and The Villages. We're based in Fruitland Park. If you manage properties in these areas, we can help.

Do you do drywall and prep work too?

We do. Rentals often need patching, drywall repair and pressure washing before paint. We handle prep as part of the job so you're not coordinating separate trades. Full caulk-and-tape prep comes standard on our paint work.

Do you paint occupied units or only vacant ones?
