A New Leaf Painting Contractors

Disappointing experience for exterior painting. One star for showing up on the scheduled day BUT aggravating to find out that the the paint that WE agreed on was not available and I had to go with something else literally at the last minute when the painters showed for the job. Later, I found out that I was given a lower tier paint. I agreed on SW Resilience which had the high moisture technology, and yet, I was given Superpaint which does not have it. There is also a difference in price per SW website. At the end of the painting job, it rained heavily. I could see the paint just washing out on the ground but I trusted the "experts". Initially, I called Thomas Drake regarding the wrong door paint, only one out of 2 trim boards was replaced, missed painting areas and others. Within a year, I've noticed the "50 year old caulk" cracked and separated, paint cracked on the sides by the garage, rusty nails everywhere. At the beginning, he had prompt responses but the last time I sent him an email in November did not get anybody to fix until April May. I am quite disappointed that I paid thousands of dollars to get an "expert job" just to get something less than average with lots of rusty nails. My original paint lasted more than 20 years with no rusty nails and it still looked very good but I just wanted to update it and get an "expert job" Awful! The first picture is what they fixed and the second one is what I see everywhere, again awful!

A New Leaf did a fantastic job on my home. From the prep to the caulking to the finished product, everything was done on time, professionally, and I am very satisfied. The exterior of my home looks fantastic, and I’ve been getting compliments from all my neighbors. I even went around and looked, and it looks like everything was done with an eye for detail. I am very, very satisfied and would highly recommend this painting company to anyone.

Update: had the crew come back a few months later for the exterior. You won’t be disappointed. We hired A New Leaf to repaint the interior of our home, and we couldn’t be happier! Thomas, the owner, came out for an estimate and immediately set the tone for the whole experience—professional, friendly, and easy to work with. Michelle, Rusty, and Dale were phenomenal—they went above and beyond, even helping fix a few spots that needed repair before painting, which made a huge difference. The customer service was top-notch, and it was a pleasure to talk with them. Our home feels completely refreshed, like a brand-new space. We’re already planning to hire the same exact crew again in the spring for the exterior. Highly recommend!

I can't say enough about Thomas and his team at A New Leaf. From the initial estimate (which was far more reasonable than our other bid) through the process of painting our kitchen cabinets, the whole experience was stress free. It's very refreshing in this day and age to not only have contractors in your home that are polite, respectful and first rate painters, they arrived on time every day they were at our home to do the job. Thank you Johnny and Mike for a job well done! Highly recommend! ??

I recently had my house painted by A New Leaf Painting in Jacksonville, and the entire experience was outstanding from start to finish. I couldn't be happier! Right from the beginning, I personally met with the owner, who was transparent about the whole process, pricing, and what to expect. No surprises, no hidden fees, just honest communication. They went above and beyond by fixing several minor structural and cosmetic issues before painting even started, which really showed their attention to detail and commitment to quality work. Their foreman, Michael, was a standout: kind, professional, and always transparent about progress. The crew cleaned up thoroughly every single day. No mess left behind, which made living through the project much easier. Communication stayed excellent throughout, including prompt updates about minor delays due to weather. Everything was handled professionally and courteously. Payment was straightforward and easy. No hassles at all. If you're in Jacksonville and need interior or exterior painting, I highly recommend A New Leaf Painting. They truly delivered top-notch results and made the process enjoyable. I'd happily hire them again. Thanks to the whole team. You turned over a new leaf for our home!

Working with A New Leaf Painting was fantastic. We sought proposals from three major painters in the Saint Augustine area, and A New Leaf was the only one that made us feel that they could handle a substantial, non-trivial job at a very reasonable price and complete it within the time frame we needed the work done. Tom Drake (owner) was thorough in his estimating, quoting, and project scoping. He was very responsive to specific needs, some of which were clearly incorporated in the basic scope of work, and others that were handled through options to the basic scope. The company's information management system was impressive. It documented and managed contracting, project status reports, and invoicing in a clear and detailed fashion. Michael and his crew (painters) were professional, courteous, and more importantly, very competent: whether in sequencing tasks and using the crew efficiently and neatly. They also had the skills (and temperament) to tackle really hard to reach areas: a chimney a top a 2+ story house and the upper ridge of the gable ends. And they paid a lot of attention to detail: they must have spent the better part of a day going around the project looking for areas to touch up. Although they started a bit slow (seemingly because of factors outside of their control), they made up the delay by working over the weekend! Overall, this was a great experience, and we would recommend them to anyone.

I could not be more pleased with the exterior paint job A New Leaf performed on my home. The crew, lead by Michelle, and her workers (Rusty, Dale, and Pearson) were absolutely amazing. This crew arrived on time, kept me posted throughout each day, and were receptive to my concerns. The final product was a beautiful paint job that made my wife and I feel great about hiring them. Thank you Thomas Drake for a competitive price, and a great crew. Your company is certainly top shelf. Cheers! Andy N.

I initially worked with Thomas as the consultant and person who came to my house to discuss both the interior and exterior paint projects. He was great to work with, knew his info, made great suggestions, and checked back on any questions I had before I decided to use New Leaf Painting to do the job. When the projects started I worked with Billy and his crew. They were great to work with. They were on time, professional, well mannered. They set up in the garage and I was amazed at how quickly they removed old wallpaper and prepped the rooms for painting. They checked with me to make sure I was good as I was working from home. The interior turned out great. They then tackled the outside. I needed some repair work on my chimney and we discussed additional work they found after tearing off old parts. They made sure I was ok with what needed to be done. The same thing happened by my front door. Then I wanted my front door stained but they convinced me I would be unhappy with the results so we went to plan B and painted the door the same color as the shutters and it turned out great. I had friends over Labor Day Weekend and they were impressed with how well the house looked. All the workers put in plenty of hours, were courteous, cleaned up and generally went the extra mile on my projects. I appreciated the hard work and attention to detail. Overall I was extremely satisfied with the results of both the interior and exterior paint projects. Thanks New Leaf.

I recently hired A New Leaf painting company to paint my 2600 sq feet home and I couldn't be happier with the results! Mr. Thomas, the owner was extremely helpful throughout the entire process and his staff was friendly and professional. The paint job was exceptional, with attention to detail and high-quality craftsmanship. The only issue I had was a slight delay in getting the door guys to come back out and paint my new door, but in the end, it was well worth the wait. While they may not be the cheapest option in town, the quality of their work is unmatched. I highly recommend A New Leaf painting company for anyone looking for a top-notch paint job. Thank you for exceeding my expectations!
