Interior and exterior painting
Quick answer
A paint job looks as good as the prep under it. HandyMangum patches, sands, caulks and primes before the first coat, so the drywall repair and the painting are done by one crew in one plan. We paint single rooms, ceilings, trim, doors and exterior areas, and we are often the right fit for the jobs that are too small for a full painting company. Call or text (407) 699-1123 for a free estimate.
Where we fit
Big painting companies are built for whole-house repaints. Most of our painting is smaller and mixed: a room after a drywall repair, trim and doors before a sale, a ceiling after a leak, or a list of touch-ups.
Because we also do drywall repair and trim, you do not need to schedule a second trade before the painter can start.
Typical painting jobs
- One or two rooms, a hallway or a ceiling
- Ceiling stains after a roof or AC leak (sealed with stain-blocking primer first)
- Baseboards, door casings, crown and interior doors
- Touch-ups and full repaints before a sale or after tenants move out
- Exterior doors, shutters, fascia, trim and small exterior areas
- Accent walls and color changes
How the job goes

What we paint
Trim and doors
Baseboards, casings, crown and doors.
Exterior areas
Doors, shutters, fascia, soffits and trim.
What affects the cost
- Prep. Wall repairs, stain blocking and caulking are often more of the job than the paint itself
- Surface and height. Ceilings, stairwells and tall walls take more time and equipment
- Color change. Going from dark to light usually needs primer and an extra coat
- Trim and doors. Brushing trim and doors is slower than rolling walls
- Paint quality. Better paint covers and wears better; you can supply your own
- Furniture and access. Empty rooms go faster than full ones
How to choose a sheen
Ceilings
Flat, to hide imperfections.
Living areas and bedrooms
Eggshell or satin: easy to wipe without showing every wall flaw.
Kitchens and baths
Satin or semi-gloss, which stands up to moisture and cleaning.
Trim and doors
Semi-gloss for durability.
What customers say
“We had a bad experience with a previous contractor and needed a new company to come finish our projects (fix some drywall, caulking, sanding, paint work, closet repairs and hanging a barn door with hardware). We couldn’t be happier with our choice of Handy Mangum! Our jobs were not without its hiccups for sure but the professionalism, flexibility and great attitudes shown from Ana in the office, Joey doing the estimate, Dave and Eddie doing the jobs was outstanding!!! You definitely get what you pay for. If you need some quality work done at your home or business at a fair price Handy Mangum should be your choice!!”

“Sunny and his guys where great, they took their time and did thing right, after pressure washing the house, they fill cracks and holes before painting and made sure everything was perfect.”

“We engaged HandyMangum services for drywall repair & painting & rehanging 2 very large & heavy mirrors that became detached from the wall in our dining room. Their worker (Eddie) arrived on time, prepared the room, performed the repairs and completed the job in one day! We were anticipating about 4 days for completion. Excellent work, we couldn't be more satisfied with the outcome. Plus, very little clean up for me. Eddie put down protection for all surfaces and left nothing but 2 satisfied customers. Also very competitive reasonable price.
Highly recommend!!”Winifred W. Google review

Painting FAQs
Do you paint just one room?
Yes. Single rooms, ceilings and small lists are a big part of our painting work.
Can you fix the drywall first?
Yes. We patch, texture and prime before painting, so you have one crew and one schedule.
Do I need to move furniture?
It helps to clear small items and valuables. We move and cover what is left and put it back.
How long before I can use the room?
Most latex paint is dry to the touch in about an hour and fine for light use later that day; it takes a few weeks to fully cure, so go easy on scrubbing.
What about a ceiling water stain?
Fix the leak first. Then we seal the stain with a stain-blocking primer so it does not bleed through, and paint the whole ceiling plane so the patch does not show.
Do you do whole-house exterior repaints?
We focus on smaller exterior work like doors, trim, fascia and shutters. Ask us about your project and we will tell you honestly if a dedicated painting company is a better fit.
