Expert: Omar Contreras, Owner and Operator of Lady Lake-based Omar’s Painting, Inc, which has provided top quality painting services throughout Lake, Sumter and Marion counties since 2007.

How can painting a house’s exterior and interior enhance curb appeal and overall market value?

“A fresh coat of exterior paint can make a home look well-maintained, modern, and inviting. It helps create a strong first impression for potential buyers or visitors. Choosing contemporary colors, or a color scheme that complements the architectural style, can update a home’s appearance, making it more appealing to current market trends,” says Omar Contreras.

Homes with updated paint often sell faster since they appear move-in ready, requiring less work from the buyer.

 Painting a home’s interior instantly refreshes rooms, making them feel clean, bright, and current. If you’re considering selling, Omar suggests going with neutral tones, which appeal to a broader audience, giving buyers a blank canvas to envision their own style.

Painting is a task many homeowners attempt to do themselves, but it can be overwhelming and time-consuming.

“Ultimately, hiring a professional not only saves you time and effort but guarantees a superior result that will last for years to come,” says Omar. “Professional painters handle all the prep work, including repairing minor wall imperfections, protecting furniture and floors, and cleaning up afterward. This eliminates the stress and mess of DIY projects. We streamline the process, completing the job efficiently without sacrificing quality, so you can enjoy your newly painted space sooner.”

Omar’s Painting, Inc. uses top-of-the-line paints from Sherwin Williams, which offer better durability, color consistency, and finish. These high-quality products ensure a long-lasting paint job that can withstand everyday wear and tear. 

Thanks to glowing client reviews, the business is typically booked about two months in advance, but Omar makes every effort to expedite urgent requests and complete jobs promptly.

Omar himself is personally involved in every project, ensuring that the quality of work meets his high standards.

“We do not subcontract work, nor do I leave the crew at the job site. I am hands-on throughout the entire process, providing personalized attention to every detail,” he says. “Our journey is one of faith and dedication. God continues to be our provider and guide. We believe in giving back and using the gifts He’s provided to help those in need.”

Omar’s Painting, Inc. doesn’t just paint homes. The business creates lasting impressions that stand the test of time.
