A full interior and exterior repaint in Sarasota typically takes 2-4 weeks depending on home size, surface condition, and weather. Grove Street Painting assigns one dedicated crew from start to finish, so your project stays on a predictable timeline without crew rotation delays.

Here is a general breakdown for a 2,000-2,500 square foot home. Interior painting usually takes 5-8 business days, covering wall prep, priming, two coats on walls and ceilings, and trim work. Exterior painting takes 5-10 business days, including pressure washing, caulking, priming, and two topcoats with Sherwin-Williams Duration or SuperPaint. Combining both into one project saves mobilization time compared to scheduling them separately.

Several factors can extend or shorten your timeline. Extensive drywall repair, popcorn ceiling removal, or heavy scraping on exterior surfaces add prep days. Conversely, newer homes with sound surfaces and minimal repair needs finish faster. Florida's summer afternoon thunderstorms can pause exterior work for 24-48 hours per rain event, which is why October through May is the most efficient season for outdoor painting.
