Why Sarasota Homeowners Trust Shawn Christie Painting & Pressure Washing
Who We Are
A Team Committed to Excellence
Two Decades, One Standard
Shawn Christie started this company in 2004 after years working in general construction across the Sarasota area. That foundation shaped how the business operates. Understanding how structures are built means understanding what paint, pressure, and sealers actually need to do — not just how they look when the job is finished. Twenty years later, the same attention to prep work and surface knowledge that started this company is still what drives every job we take on.
We Work Where We Live
Sarasota is not just a service area — it is home. Shawn lives in the same community his customers do, which means his name is attached to every job in a very direct way. There are no franchises, no remote ownership, and no rotating crews without accountability. When you hire this company, you are hiring someone who has spent two decades building a local reputation and has every reason to protect it. That kind of accountability is hard to find and easy to feel.

Shawn Christie
Owner & Lead Contractor
Shawn has been in the trades since before the company launched in 2004, coming up through general construction before focusing on painting and pressure washing. He oversees every project and stays hands-on throughout the work. His approach is straightforward — assess the job honestly, prep it correctly, and deliver a finish that holds up over time.

Everything Your Home's Exterior and Interior Needs, Done Right
Interior House Painting
Fresh paint does more than change a color — it changes how a room feels. We prep every surface properly before a brush touches the wall, which is what separates a clean finish from a job that starts peeling in a year. Whether it is one room or the whole house, the work is done with care and attention to detail.
Exterior House Painting
Your home's exterior takes the full force of Florida's heat, humidity, and storm season. A proper exterior paint job starts with thorough prep — cleaning, scraping, priming — before any color goes on. Done right, it protects the structure and keeps your home looking sharp for years without constant touch-ups.
Cabinet Painting & Refinishing
Replacing cabinets is expensive. Refinishing them the right way is not. We strip, sand, prime, and repaint cabinets to a smooth, durable finish that holds up to daily use. It is one of the highest-return improvements you can make to a kitchen or bathroom without a full remodel.
Deck & Fence Painting
Wood left untreated in Florida does not last. UV exposure and moisture break it down fast. Painting or staining your deck and fence on a regular cycle protects the wood and keeps it structurally sound. We clean and prep the surface first so the coating bonds properly and lasts as long as it should.
Paver Sealing & Restoration
Pavers fade, stain, and shift over time — especially in Florida's climate. We clean them down to the surface, re-sand the joints if needed, and apply a quality sealer that brings the color back and protects against future wear. The difference before and after is usually dramatic.
Vinyl Floor Installation
Vinyl flooring has come a long way and it works well in Florida homes — durable, moisture-resistant, and easy to maintain. We handle the full installation from subfloor prep to final fit and finish. The result is a clean, level floor that looks good and holds up in high-traffic areas.
Tile Floor Installation
Tile is one of the best flooring choices for Florida's climate, but only when it is installed correctly. Poor tile work shows quickly — uneven grout lines, cracked tiles, hollow spots. We take the time to set it right so the floor is solid, level, and built to last.
Residential Pressure Washing
Florida homes collect algae, mildew, dirt, and staining fast. Residential pressure washing removes years of buildup from driveways, walkways, pool decks, fences, and siding. It is one of the quickest ways to improve how your home looks without any paint or renovation involved.
Commercial Pressure Washing
A dirty storefront or commercial property sends the wrong message to customers. We work around your schedule to clean exterior surfaces, parking areas, walkways, and building facades with professional-grade equipment. Regular cleaning also prevents long-term surface damage that costs far more to repair than to prevent.
Driveway & Concrete Cleaning
Concrete driveways and walkways collect oil stains, rust, algae, and general grime that regular rinsing cannot touch. We use the right pressure and technique for the surface type so the cleaning is thorough without causing damage. The results are noticeably different from the first pass.
Roof Soft Washing
High-pressure washing on a roof causes more damage than the algae it removes. Soft washing uses low pressure and a cleaning solution to kill algae, mold, and lichen at the root without harming shingles or tiles. It extends the life of your roof and removes the black streaking that makes a home look run-down.
Drywall Installation & Repair
Whether it is a new room, a water-damaged wall, or a hole that needs patching, we handle drywall from installation through to a paint-ready finish. Proper drywall repair is invisible when done correctly — no bumps, no seams showing through, no shortcuts on the texture work.
Walls looking worn? Driveway covered in grime? Pavers faded and stained?

Our Simple 3-Step Service Process
1
Tell Us What You Need
Reach out by call or text and give us a basic idea of what you are dealing with — whether it is a full exterior repaint, a driveway that needs cleaning, or pavers that have not been sealed in years. We ask a few straightforward questions to understand the scope. No pressure, no sales pitch. The goal at this stage is simply to understand what the job involves before we come out to look at it.
2
We Come Out and Give You a Straight Quote
Shawn comes to the property, looks at the surfaces, and gives you an accurate estimate based on what the job actually requires. There are no inflated numbers built in for negotiation and no vague ranges that change later. If something affects the price — surface condition, access, extra prep work — we explain it clearly before anything is agreed to. You know exactly what you are getting before the work begins.
3
The Work Gets Done Right
Once the job is scheduled, we show up on time and work through the project with the same prep-first approach that has defined this company since 2004. We do not rush the stages that matter most — cleaning, priming, and surface prep are what determine how long a finish lasts. When the job is complete, we walk the property with you. If anything needs attention, it gets handled before we leave.

Frequently Asked Questions
Got Questions? We’ve Got Answers!
How much does interior painting cost in Sarasota?
The cost depends on the size of the space, the number of rooms, and the condition of the walls. Most interior painting projects in the Sarasota area range based on square footage and how much prep work the surfaces need. The best way to get an accurate number is to schedule a free estimate so we can see the space in person. Every job is different, and a quote over the phone is rarely accurate.
How long does exterior house painting take in Sarasota?
A standard single-family home exterior typically takes two to four days from prep to finish, depending on the size of the house and weather conditions. Florida heat and afternoon storms can affect scheduling, so we build that into the timeline. Prep work — cleaning, scraping, priming — takes as much time as the painting itself when done correctly. Rushing that process is how you end up with paint that peels within a year.
Do you do pressure washing in Bradenton as well as Sarasota?
Yes, we serve both Sarasota and Bradenton, along with surrounding areas including Palmetto, Lakewood Ranch, Siesta Key, Longboat Key, and Ellenton. Most of our pressure washing work is across the Sarasota and Manatee County region. If you are not sure whether we cover your area, call us directly at (855) 701-1963 and we can confirm quickly.
What is soft washing and is it safe for my roof?
Soft washing uses low-pressure water combined with a cleaning solution to remove algae, mold, and mildew from roof surfaces. It is safe for shingles and tiles because it does not rely on force to clean — the solution does the work. High-pressure washing on a roof can void warranties and cause real damage over time. Soft washing is the correct method for roofs, and the results last longer too.
How often should I get my pavers sealed in Florida?
In Florida's climate, most pavers should be resealed every two to three years depending on sun exposure, foot traffic, and whether the area gets regular moisture. UV rays break down sealers faster here than in cooler climates. When pavers start looking faded or stained and the water is no longer beading on the surface, that is a good sign it is time for resealing.
Can you paint cabinets instead of replacing them?
Cabinet painting is a legitimate alternative to replacement when the cabinet boxes are structurally sound. The key is proper prep — thorough cleaning, light sanding, and a bonding primer before any topcoat goes on. Skipping those steps is what causes cabinet paint to chip and peel. When done correctly, painted cabinets hold up well and can completely transform the look of a kitchen at a fraction of the replacement cost.
Do you do both residential and commercial pressure washing?
Yes, we handle both residential and commercial pressure washing throughout the Sarasota area. Commercial properties have different scheduling needs and surface types, and we work around business hours when needed. Whether it is a driveway, storefront, parking area, or building exterior, the process starts with the right equipment and technique for that specific surface.
How do I get an estimate from Shawn Christie Painting & Pressure Washing?
The easiest way is to call or text us directly at (855) 701-1963. We cover Sarasota, Bradenton, and the surrounding areas and can usually schedule an on-site estimate within a few days. There is no charge for the estimate, and you will get a straightforward quote based on what the job actually requires — not a number inflated to leave room for
