1920s Mediterranean Revival home in McClellan Park, Sarasota, with fresh warm ivory stucco, terracotta tile accents and arched windows

Houses here span a long stretch of Sarasota history, from early twentieth century homes to mid-century and newer residences, set along streets shaded by large trees. Many owners have restored their homes carefully, and they expect painting to match that effort. We spend most of our time on preparation: cleaning, scraping, sanding, priming bare wood, replacing rotten trim and caulking joints, so the finish coats go onto a sound, dry surface.

Inside, we often work around original features: wood floors, plaster walls, built-ins, staircases and detailed trim. We brush and roll rather than spray when detail matters, protect floors and fixtures, and help owners choose colors that suit the age of the house. When an older home has paint that may contain lead, we use lead-safe practices from the first scrape to the final cleanup, inside and out, every working day.

Early twentieth century homes and later additions

McClellan Park is primarily single-family housing, and it includes some of the older homes in this part of the city, among them 1920s-era houses, some in the Mediterranean Revival style with stucco walls and tile accents. Over time, many lots were rebuilt or homes expanded, so you also find mid-century houses and newer residences designed to fit the setting. Mature trees, landscaped yards and quiet streets give the neighborhood a settled, established look. Each house has its own history under the paint, and we read it before we start.

Older homes often combine stucco, wood windows, decorative trim and many layers of paint. Mediterranean-style stucco may have patches from decades of repairs, while wood elements show weathering and rot at sills and rafter tails. Newer homes tend to have smooth stucco and composite trim that weather more evenly. We tailor prep to each material, matching stucco texture where needed and repairing wood before painting, so the finished house looks unified rather than patched together. That is especially true where old and new sections meet.

Sun, salt and weather in McClellan Park

Shade from large trees and closeness to the bay keep humidity high in McClellan Park. Shaded walls and soffits grow mildew, while sunnier faces fade and chalk. Stucco develops fine cracks from heat and movement, and wood trim swells in the wet season. We treat mildew, fix cracks and rot, and choose breathable acrylic coatings for older stucco so moisture can escape rather than pushing the paint off from behind.

Common McClellan Park projects

Exterior House Painting

Historic and established homes here need careful prep and the right coatings. We repair stucco and wood, treat mildew and repaint with breathable finishes suited to older walls.

Stucco Crack Repair

Older stucco walls show cracks and old patches. We clean and fill cracks, match the existing texture as closely as possible and prime repairs before repainting the full wall.

Trim & Baseboard Painting

Original interior trim and baseboards define these homes. We clean, fill, sand and repaint with durable enamel, brushing carefully so profiles stay crisp and the finish stays smooth.

Color Consultation

Owners want colors that suit a historic house without feeling stuck in the past. We bring large samples and test them on the house in the real shade and light of the lot.

Painting in McClellan Park: questions

Do you paint Mediterranean Revival homes in McClellan Park?

Yes. These homes usually have stucco walls, tile accents and arched openings. We repair cracks and patches to match the existing texture, use breathable coatings so older walls can release moisture, and take care around tile and decorative details. We also help choose colors that suit the style without looking flat or dated.

Why is my McClellan Park stucco bubbling under the paint?

Bubbling usually means moisture is trapped behind the paint film, often from a crack, failed caulk, or a coating that does not let the wall breathe. We find the moisture source, remove failing paint, repair the stucco and let it dry before repainting with a breathable product. Painting over bubbles only brings them back.

Can you paint the interior of an older McClellan Park home while keeping original woodwork?

Absolutely. We protect floors and built-ins, clean and lightly sand original trim and doors, fill small damage and repaint with a quality enamel. If you prefer stained wood left alone, we mask it carefully and paint around it. Plaster walls get careful patching so repairs blend into the surrounding surface.
