I found the whole team to be highly professional in their painting skills and focus on detail, clear and detailed project estimate/bid, customer care, attention to cleaning up our property each day on the job, and met the schedule that we discussed. Accolades to Michelle, Pearson, and the rest of our painting team. I highly recommend them for your painting and related needs. They are a team with integrity that you can trust to deliver a quality job. **★★★★★ — Regina, Aug. 2023** > I'm very pleased with my cabinets. The owner was very pleasant, accommodating and honest. The painters were punctual, professional and thorough during the week. They went out of their way to make sure that I was happy with the work. My kitchen has been transformed and I'm so happy. I highly recommend. **★★★★★ — HU-102563834, Oct. 2022** > Excellent job! Professional crew and meticulous work! We will definitely use them again! They did a wonderful job ! Thank you Thomas! **★★★★★ — HU-754329223, March 2022** > Quick quote and turnaround time. Painters were professional and efficient! They paid a great amount of attention to detail. > > Can’t wait to have them paint my next room! **★★★★★ — J Mac, Nov. 2021** > New Leaf Painting did a fantastic job painting the exterior of our house. The foreman Jake was determined to deliver a high quality job. When the stucco bottom of our home was not taking the paint correctly, he gave it 3 coats to make it right. We have a 2 story that required a lot of work, 2 colors + trim. They paid great attention to detail and kept me updated on everything as they went. I would highly recommend them for quality work. **★★★★★ — tbyrd60, Oct. 2021** > After a re-roof, I needed to repaint the exterior of my house. It had been 12 years and it needed a facelift. I called and received a couple of estimates and timelines, but I was most impressed with the owner of New Leaf Painting, Thomas Drake, when he visited for the estimate. He was forthright in his answers, and he gave assurances that the job would be done right the first time. He admitted that his cost may be a little more than others, but that in the end, it would be well worth it. And now that it is the end of the repaint, he was right, on all accounts. It was definitely well worth it. > He agreed to have his team do a little extra prep work before painting. He also agreed to address some possible wood damage in the best way and not cause any issue with the newly installed roof. > The two-person team that showed up right on time, M & P, were super friendly, they asked the right questions before starting and they listened to my answers. They were hard workers, but more importantly, they are artists at their craft. Every day they showed up on time, even a little early, and they cleaned up the area every day before they left. > I live on a main entrance to a large neighborhood and time after time, folks would slow down and pay compliments, and at least 5 individuals stopped, exited their vehicles and asked about the company and if I was pleased with their work. Needless to say, I answered with an emphatic, YES! > So, if you want an honest estimator who will go the extra mile, if you want superb craftsmanship work and are willing to pay just a little extra and maybe wait just a little longer (thanks a lot pandemic! Grrr!), then call New Leaf Painting and you will NOT be sorry. > Many thanks to Thomas, M & P for making my home look new and beautiful again! **Comment from A New Leaf Painting Contractors:** > It was a pleasure working with you! Thanks, we appreciate your review. **★★★★★ — Mike lee, Oct. 2021** > From the start of this project everything went better than expected. Great price and the finished product was better than I would have expected. **Comment from A New Leaf Painting Contractors:** > It was a pleasure working with you! Thanks, we appreciate your review. **★★★★★ — HU-39642044, July 2021** > I highly recommend New Leaf Painting to anyone looking for a quality interior paint job. Johnny and his crew were timely, professional, and exceptionally kind. As a single woman and new homeowner I felt very comfortable with them and they treated my space like it was their own home. Thomas was very thorough in scheduling and communication throughout the whole process. And on top of it all, the paint is gorgeous and brings my old condo back to life! **Comment from A New Leaf Painting Contractors:** > It was a pleasure working with you! Thanks, we appreciate your review. **★★★★★ — Michelle Driscoll, July 2021** > A New Leaf Painting recently painted the entire interior of my townhome that I just purchased. I hired them because of the incredible amount of excellent reviews I read and I am so glad I did! Everything from the initial phone call with Thomas to the finished product was amazing. Everything was as quoted and on time. Thomas kept in very good contact with me, answering all my questions in a timely manner. Johnny and the crew who did the work were just super, they do excellent work, very professional, they went above and beyond to make sure I was pleased. The thing I am most happy with are the clean lines where the walls meet the ceilings. I know this can be difficult when both the walls and ceilings have texture and I have seen some really botched paint jobs as I was shopping for a home. Again, they do excellent work. I cannot say enough how great this experience was, do not hesitate to hire A New Leaf Painting, you will be so glad you did! **Comment from A New Leaf Painting Contractors:** > It was a pleasure working with you! Thanks, we appreciate your review. **★★★★★ — Steve Geer, July 2021** > All I can say is WOW what a great experience with A New Leaf Painting! Thomas was awesome to work with from the initial estimate all the way through the completed project. I knew after talking to Thomas that he was the guy I wanted to use to paint the exterior of my home. The level of communication and the professionalism of his entire team was a real breath of fresh air. I can’t say enough about the crew that was assigned to perform the work on my house. Johnny, Chris and the boys were all over things and constantly kept me updated on the status of the project, going above and beyond to ensure I was happy with their work. We had some challenges with the weather (typical Florida summer stuff), but they worked through it and when they were done I couldn’t be more pleased with the final outcome! Keep up the great work guys, you are awesome!! If you want a professional quality job with over the top results please call A New Leaf Painting for any of your painting needs. I’m really glad I did and will no doubt use their services again in the future. **Comment from A New Leaf Painting Contractors:** > It was a pleasure working with you! Thanks, we appreciate your review. **★★★★★ — HU-876599451, April 2021** > It would be difficult to find another company that offers more professionalism, excellent communication and a quality of work that’s unsurpassed. I highly recommend this company for all of your exterior home needs. **Comment from A New Leaf Painting Contractors:** > It was a pleasure working with you! Thanks, we appreciate your review. **★★★★★ — stevens1377, Feb. 2021** > Thomas and his team did a fantastic job. They are extremely professional, punctual and completed the job ahead of schedule. Thomas' was always available to answer questions and provided timely updates from quote to finished work. **Comment from A New Leaf Painting Contractors:** > It was a pleasure working with you!

It’s an expanse of 14’ of glass with about 1’ of wall on each side of opening. We currently have 1980’s vertical blinds there (YUCK!). I was contemplating installing a ceiling track curtain system but need help! Since I want a center opening so each door has its own drape, could I just use 8’ tracks mounted/butted end-to-end? What kind of curtains do I look for (i.e., pinch pleat, rod pocket or other) to hang from the track? This is a home in Florida and I need to find blackout drapes (heavier than sheers) so I’m guessing there will be special heavy duty tracks I need to look for? Any help, direction and recommendations would be GREATLY appreciated! A: A local blind company can tailor the blinds to your needs! Or go to your local big box store and they will have lots of option to choose from! **Q: Color** *(in Photo Questions)* The exterior is mocha, what brand? And what color and brand is the white trim? A: The body paint is from Sherwin Williams and the trim paint is pure white from Sherwin Williams - SW 7006 **Q: Do the shutters close over the windows? Thank You** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Yes the shutters cover and protect the windows! --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-22.*
