Trusted by Homeowners Across the Alafaya Area
Alafaya stretches across east Orange County along the Alafaya Trail corridor, anchored by the University of Central Florida to the north and running south toward neighborhoods that blend into the broader east Orlando landscape. The housing here covers a wide span, from the townhome and apartment communities near campus and Research Park to the single-family neighborhoods further south in areas like Waterford Lakes, Eastwood, Andover Lakes, and the developments along Curry Ford Road and Lake Underhill. The homes closest to the university tend to be newer construction, built during the development boom that followed UCF's growth, with stucco exteriors, concrete tile roofs, and open floor plans that are standard across central Florida's newer housing stock. The neighborhoods further south carry more variety, including older block and stucco homes from the 1990s and early 2000s that are now reaching the age where the original coatings have broken down and the stucco has started cracking from years of settling and thermal cycling.
Painters in Alafaya, FL who serve this corridor consistently see both ends of that timeline. Newer homes need their builder-grade finishes replaced with something that actually performs. Older homes need real prep, stucco repair, and coatings that address the accumulated wear instead of painting over it. The crew at Smith & Co. adjusts the scope and the approach based on what each home presents, not a one-size checklist that ignores the condition of the surfaces.
Painting and Surface Services Available in Alafaya
Alafaya's housing ranges from recent construction near the university corridor to established family homes further south, and the painting needs shift with the age and the condition of the property. Smith & Co. Painting handles the full scope of residential painting and surface work throughout the Alafaya area, matching the prep depth and the product selection to the specific surfaces on each home. Every project follows the same quality process, adjusted for what the property actually requires.
The difference between a finish that fades by next summer and one that still looks right two years later comes down to what happens before any color is applied. Cleaning, repairing, priming, and sealing are the steps that determine durability, and they're the steps most crews compress or skip to move faster.
Interior Painting
Full-home repaints, individual rooms, ceilings, trim, baseboards, and accent walls, handled room by room with furniture protected and transitions kept clean. Builder-grade interiors get upgraded to finishes with real coverage and staying power.
Exterior Painting
Complete exterior repaints with weather-resistant Sherwin-Williams coatings over properly prepped surfaces. Stucco, block, wood trim, fascia, garage doors, and entry doors all get cleaned, repaired, and primed before any color goes on. Built to hold through east Orange County's sun, humidity, and storm exposure.
Drywall Repair
Interior cracks, nail pops, water damage, and failed patches get repaired, retextured, and painted as part of a broader project. The finished surface matches the surrounding wall so the damage disappears completely under the new coat.

Why Alafaya Homeowners Choose Smith & Co.
A good painting company in this market shows up, communicates, and delivers a finish the homeowner doesn't have to think about again for years. Here's what Alafaya homeowners rely on when they hire Smith & Co.
-
Backed by real warranties
Every project is protected by an Up to 5 Year Workmanship Warranty on the labor and a 15-Year Manufacturer Warranty (Sherwin-Williams) on the paint. Both come in writing before a single surface is prepped.
-
Daily progress updates
You'll hear what got done and what's scheduled next each day the crew is at your home. Consistent updates are built into the workflow, not something you have to chase down.
-
Local and owner-run
Smith & Co. Painting is owner-operated and locally based, not a franchise sending unfamiliar crews from across the metro. The person accountable for the result is personally connected to the project.
-
Free color consultation
A color consultant on staff helps you settle on a palette that works with your home, your neighborhood, and any HOA standards, included at no additional cost.
-
Honest, upfront pricing
The estimate is detailed and final. The scope you sign off on is the scope you pay for, with no adjustments appearing once the walls are opened or the surfaces are stripped.
-
Familiar with HOA communities
A newer home near the university corridor and a twenty-year-old stucco home south of Waterford Lakes need very different prep work. The crew evaluates each property individually and adjusts the scope to match what the surfaces actually require.
A Painting Company Rooted in the East Orlando Area
Smith & Co. Painting has served Alafaya and the broader southeast Orlando area since 2018. Owner Aiden Smith built the company on a craftsmanship standard absorbed from his uncle, a precise carpenter who held the work you couldn't see to the same bar as the work you could. That standard applies across the full range of Alafaya homes,
from a first-time homeowner's townhome to an established family's four-bedroom with twenty years of Florida weather on the walls. Being locally rooted means the crew knows the neighborhoods, the housing patterns, and the climate conditions along the Alafaya corridor without needing to learn them on your property. That familiarity keeps the estimate accurate, the scope appropriate, and the project moving without unnecessary delays.
How Your Alafaya Painting Project Works
Every project follows a consistent sequence designed to keep the work on track and the homeowner informed from the first estimate to the final review.
Free estimate and color consultation
You walk the home with the crew, discuss the scope and the look you want, and choose colors with the consultant on staff. A clear written estimate follows with full line-item detail and no hidden costs.
Prep and protection
Surfaces get pressure washed (exteriors), cleaned, repaired, sanded, and primed. Furniture, flooring, landscaping, and fixtures are covered and protected. The prep depth matches the age and condition of the home.
Expert application
Premium Sherwin-Williams coatings go on with the right method for each surface, in as many coats as full and even coverage requires. Exterior work is scheduled around the weather, and interior work moves room by room.
Final walkthrough and acceptance
You review every surface alongside the crew, and the project wraps only after you've confirmed the result meets your expectations.

Alafaya Painting Questions, Answered
A few things homeowners in the area tend to ask before starting a project. If your question isn't listed, send it along with your details.
Often, yes. Builder-grade finishes are selected for speed and cost during construction, not for long-term durability. In Florida's climate, those original coatings start chalking, fading, and losing adhesion faster than homeowners expect. A repaint with quality materials applied over proper prep gives you a finish that actually performs for years instead of declining from the day you moved in.
