Welcome to the Grove Street Painting Resource Hub

Welcome to our digital job site notebook. This blog keeps Sarasota homeowners up to speed on the strategies, schedules, and finishes that make premium repaints run smoothly. Each article distills what our owner Desmond Landry and the Grove Street Painting team document daily across Siesta Key, Longboat Key, Bird Key, Lakewood Ranch, and the mainland neighborhoods in between.

You will not find generic tips here. Every post ties back to Sarasota's climate, HOA expectations, coastal lighting, and the concierge-level service our clients expect. When a guide goes live, it reflects lessons from real walkthroughs, punch lists, and warranty check-ins happening right now.
