What painting costs in Tampa, FL
A painting job moves between ranges on the same 3 things every time. Inside or outside, how much repair, and how much trim. The market range for Tampa, FL is on that page, with its source. Your number comes after the walkthrough.
Interior painting
Walls, ceilings, trim and doors inside the house. The paint is the last hour of a day spent patching, sanding, caulking and priming. It takes 2 coats over a primed surface, or the patches show through in a month. The scope names the brand, the sheen and the coats, wall by wall.
Exterior painting
Stucco, siding, fascia and doors, in a climate that chalks paint and rains every afternoon. The wash and the primer are the job. Rotten wood comes out before any color goes on, and the paint waits for the window the data sheet names.
Cabinet painting
Every door and every box stays. Only the finish changes. The doors come off and get sprayed flat. The frames get sprayed inside a sealed kitchen. Everything gets degreased twice before a bonding primer. It is the cheapest way to change a kitchen, and it lives in the sandpaper.

Most houses are one of these 5 cases. Read the line that sounds like yours. The page it points to is the one to open first. Nothing on these pages moves a wire or a pipe. Maplex Services is not a general contractor. Electrical, AC and plumbing are done by a licensed general contractor we work with. Every page below also says how the room is protected and what the touch up kit covers.
Walls, ceilings and trim inside the house
Interior painting. The prep is patching, sanding, caulking and priming, and it is most of the job. It takes 2 coats over a primed patch, or the patch shows through in a year. The scope names the brand, the sheen and the coats, room by room.
Stucco, siding, fascia and the front door
Exterior painting. Florida sun and afternoon rain set the schedule. Chalking stucco gets washed and primed. Rotten fascia comes out before any color. The paint goes on when the surface is dry, not when the calendar says.
The cabinets are fine and you hate the color
Cabinet painting. Doors come off and get sprayed flat. Frames are sprayed inside a sealed kitchen. Everything is degreased twice before a bonding primer. It is the cheapest way to change a kitchen, and it lives in the sandpaper.
The house was built before 1978
Any sanding or scraping on a house from before 1978 can put lead dust in the air. The EPA regulates it under its lead rule. The paint gets tested first. If it is positive, the work is done under that rule by a firm certified for it. It is its own line in the scope.
