Tropical Painting & Decorating
Since 1975, residential and commercial exterior painting services has been our primary focus. Restoration services ensure your home will weather the intense Florida heat and rain for years to come. Since 1975, Tropical Painting has been providing residential and commercial, interior and exterior painting and restoration services in Pinellas and Hillsborough County.

Since 1975, Tropical Painting and Decorating is a full service painting company serving Pinellas and Hillsborough County residents and businesses. About a year ago, Alex/Tropical Painting repainted the exterior our 2-story Dutch Colonial on 15th Ave NE, including a 2-story detached garage/apartment.

This was a huge job by any measure; a lot of the time spent was in the preparation. Not only do they perform quality work, but Alex is very helpful in knowing what is appropriate for a home like this. We picked the colors of course but deferred to him a lot on *where* to put those colors.
Services
Established in 1975, Tropical Painting Company is owned and operated by Alexander Reale, a second-generation painter from New England. Alex directly supervises each of Tropical Painting's crews and spends the majority of his time on site working directly with them to ensure the quality of each and every project.
Painting the exterior is an important part of properly maintaining a home. Paint serves as a first line of defense against the elements by creating a barrier to the sun, wind, rain, insects and other destructive effects. Painting is also a simple and comparatively inexpensive means of dramatically changing or updating the look of a home and enhances the curb.
Before any work is begun, our staff will take every precaution to properly cover and protect personal belongings. To ensure your property is not damaged in any way, we move and pack all personal Items furnishings, equipment, appliances, etc., and cover and seal all floors, windows and doors. We will prepare the walls and surfaces to ensure that the paint adheres properly and will not only look great, but last.
Because of the nature of the climate here in Florida, we often encounter rotted wood, insect damage or other damage on a project. Rather than simply replacing it, which may not be practical, we are often able to simply excise the effected area and then fill it using structural adhesive putty and/or a wood replacement compound.
Please do not expect a bid without an on-site interview and inspection. Because it's simply not possible to accurately estimate a project without a thorough review, beware of companies that skip this crucial step. No reputable company bids a project without a thorough interview to determine your expectations and the actual scope of the work.

What a fantastic experience we had with Paul, Laurie, and Joel. They really breathed life back into our bungalow, highlighted the old gal's charms, and spruced up her rough spots. I'm so grateful to have found folks who treated our home with such genuine care, and it shows in every inch of their work.

Laurie painted our home before we moved in and we are so happy! Their attention to detail and high quality work was so comforting. 2 years later and the walls still look incredible.

We've had Tropical Painting out to do both the interior and exterior of our home. On both occasions, they were spectacular to work with - fairly priced, very communicative, highly detailed, and all around pleasant to work with.
Their work is always great. Cannot recommend more!

Paul and Laurie just completed painting my entire condominium on Snell Isle and I have nothing but praise for the work that they did. In the bidding process he mentioned that he could do touch ups on my trim with paint I already had a no cost and he did not require me to do a thing prior to doing the painting. They showed up when they said they would, painted all day and by the time they left the rooms they painted were put back exactly as before. Nothing was broken and no paint was spilled anywhere. I could go out and leave them here and my large, barking dog did not bother them! The place looks
