Real homes. Real homeowners. Real transformations. Every project on this page was completed by Highmark Painters & Handymen across the Tampa Bay area. Customer names and addresses are kept private — we share what matters: the work itself, the products we used, and the prep behind every finish.

Featured Project: Dunedin Exterior Repaint

Location: Dunedin, FL  |  Completed: April 2026  |  Scope: Full exterior repaint

A complete exterior transformation on a mid-century Dunedin home. The owners wanted to move from a dated brown-and-tan palette to a crisp coastal white that lets the original natural stone facade take center stage. Every surface — stucco walls on all four sides, wood siding, the tongue-and-groove patio ceiling, roof soffits and overhangs, front and garage doors, and the masonry retainer walls — was prepped, primed where needed, and finished with the right Sherwin-Williams system for each substrate.

Front Facade — Before & After

The hero shot. Brown stucco and beige siding gave way to a clean white field that pulls the eye straight to the natural stone columns and the new dark trim accents.

After — Sherwin-Williams Duration Flat & Satin in white

Side Wall & AC Cover — Before & After

The tan stucco side wall and yellow AC cover received the same Duration system. New dark trim was applied to the AC cover for a modern, coordinated look.

Rear Elevation — Before & After

The backyard side of the home, viewed from the pool deck. The full transformation is visible in a single frame — stucco, wood overhangs, and trim all repainted under the Florida sun.

Patio & T&G Ceiling — After

The covered patio with its tongue-and-groove wood ceiling received Duration Exterior in Satin — built to handle pool-side humidity, mildew, and salt residue carried inland from the Gulf.

Behind the Scenes: The Prep Most Painters Skip

Before a single drop of paint touches a ceiling, we mask. Below is the patio ceiling masked top-to-bottom with protective plastic, painter’s tape, and drop cloth before the new finish went on. Furniture, fans, fixtures — everything wrapped. This is the part of the job homeowners don’t see in the finished photo, and it’s exactly why our finished photos look the way they do.
