Interior Painting in Tampa, FL
Most Tampa "painters" are uninsured subcontractors. We are a licensed contractor — same written warranty on interior painting as we put on a remodel.
Most homeowners searching for interior painting in Tampa get sub-quotes from uninsured day crews. Jack O' Trades is a licensed Florida residential contractor (CRC 1330291). The same warranty we put on remodel work goes on a single-room repaint. Logan quotes every job and runs the crew. Drop cloths everywhere, two coats standard, paint specced for the room.
Three things a licensed Tampa painter does differently.
A real contracting outfit gives you finish quality, accountability, and the ability to fix what's underneath the paint.
License = warranty
Day-labor crews disappear if a finish fails. A licensed Florida contractor stays on the hook. Written workmanship warranty on every interior painting job.
Drywall + paint same crew
Hole in the wall? Crack in the ceiling? We patch, prime, and paint as one job. You do not need a second contractor between repair and finish.
Paint specced for Tampa
Florida humidity, sun fade, bathroom mildew — different rooms need different paint. We spec mildew-resistant for wet areas, UV-stable for sun walls, and low-VOC across the home.
What we paint, prep, and finish.
From a single accent wall to a whole-house repaint. Every Tampa interior painting job in-house.
Whole-house interior painting
Full repaint with color consult, prep, prime, two coats. Room-by-room schedule so you can keep living in the house.
Single-room repainting
Bedroom, living room, dining room, office. Prep, patch, prime, two coats. Most rooms done in a day or two.
Ceiling painting
Flat or matte ceiling paint, mildew-inhibiting formulas for bathrooms. Spray or roll based on access, drop cloths over everything.
Trim, baseboard & door painting
Crisp lines, caulked joints, semi-gloss or satin. Doors removed and sprayed for a factory finish when scope calls for it.
Cabinet painting
Kitchen and bathroom cabinet painting. Doors pulled, degreased, sanded, primed with cabinet-grade bonding primer, sprayed two finish coats.
Color consultation & sampling
Free with every quote. Fan decks, sample boards in your light, 60-30-10 rule for whole-home palettes that flow room to room.
Every interior painting job is quoted individually.
Send us the room count, color count, and what's getting included. We send back an itemized written quote within 24 business hours.
Why no flat price per room.
A 10x12 with one accent wall is not the same as a 10x12 with a vaulted ceiling, four-piece crown, and a deep red being painted over white. Prep, ceiling height, trim count, and color shift all change the labor. We quote the actual room.
Most homeowners hear back within 24 business hours with a recommended paint, scope of work, color count, and a written total that does not change unless the scope changes.

Three paint lines that hold up in Tampa.
Not every paint survives Florida humidity, sun, and bathroom moisture. These are the lines we reach for first.
Aura & Regal Select
Premium acrylic for high-traffic Tampa living areas. Excellent scrub resistance, true color in two coats, low-VOC. The Tampa workhorse for walls.
Emerald & Cashmere
Emerald for bathrooms and kitchens — mildew-resistant, washable. Cashmere for living rooms and bedrooms — buttery flow, no roller streaks.
Marquee & Dynasty
Strong value-tier choices for budget-conscious whole-house repaints. One-coat coverage on most light-to-light color shifts in Tampa interiors.

The sub-$3K Tampa kitchen refresh.
A factory-grade finish on the cabinets you already have.
Cabinet painting is the single most cost-effective Tampa kitchen update. New cabinets run $15K to $30K. A professional cabinet paint typically lands $1,500 to $3,500 and looks brand-new for years if the prep is done right. Same approach for bathroom vanities. More on bathroom cabinet painting.
- Doors and drawer fronts removed and labeled
- Degreased, scuff-sanded to a paint-ready surface
- Cabinet-grade bonding primer (not generic latex primer)

The licensed Tampa painter difference.
I'm Logan Steege, owner of Jack O' Trades. I have held a Florida Certified Residential Contractor license (CRC 1330291) since 2005. Most homeowners are surprised that painting was part of a contractor's scope — but it always should be. The same prep, repair, and finish disciplines that go into a kitchen remodel are exactly what give a paint job a clean line and a long life.
I quote every interior painting job personally, walk the rooms with you, and run the crew. We patch what needs patching before primer touches it, and the warranty is in writing.
If you want a real quote — or a second opinion on one you got — call me. (813) 679-5657.
Four reasons people pick a contractor over a painter.
Written warranty
Licensed contractor means accountability. Workmanship warranty on every interior painting job. Day crews can't offer that.
Drop-cloth-everything
Floors, furniture, fixtures fully protected. Plastic on cabinets, painter's tape on every edge. House is livable through the project.
Patch + paint, same crew
Cracks, holes, popcorn ceilings handled before primer. No second contractor needed between repair and finish.
Quality paint only
Benjamin Moore, Sherwin-Williams, Behr — top lines, two coats standard. No watered-down builder-grade on your walls.
