Our story
Who we are
White Glove Painting was founded by James Leon right here in St. Petersburg. James grew up around the trades, spent years working for other painting contractors, and eventually decided to start his own company — built the way he always thought it should be done.
The name “White Glove” wasn’t chosen by accident. It’s a standard — a way of doing business that says the details matter. We don’t rush. We don’t cut corners on prep. We don’t leave until you’re satisfied. We communicate through the entire project so you always know what’s happening and when.
Since we started, we’ve painted hundreds of homes and businesses across St. Petersburg — from century-old Craftsman bungalows in Old Northeast to luxury waterfront properties on Snell Isle to small business offices in Downtown St. Pete. Every one of those projects is a reference. Every one of those clients is a neighbor.
Why homeowners in St. Pete choose us
- James Leon, the owner, is personally involved on every project — this isn’t a franchise where a different crew shows up each time

Was on a bit of a timeline as I emptied everything out to get an epoxy coating on my floor at the same time. James came through and scheduled my job within a couple days. His team (Alban and Billy) arrived on time. They were clean, courteous, professional, conscientious, etc. They cleaned up and left the place exactly as I’d hoped and the walls, ceiling, doors and trim all look fantastic. Well done, White Glove. It was upper 90’s today and this crew never complained. They just made it happen and did a phenomenal job. Thank you! I will be calling again soon.Posted on Google Sugel FamilyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. White Glove painting was great to work with. There was one issue that came up which James handled without hesitation. Any home painting or wallpaper projects we have in the future will go to White Glove PaintingPosted on Google Lauren RobertsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our experience with White Glove Service Painters had a few unexpected changes along the way, but I’m happy with how everything was handled in the end. Our original project included a ceiling refinishing that ultimately wasn’t the right fit, and I really appreciated James being honest and transparent about that rather than pushing forward with something he wasn’t confident would deliver the results we wanted. The team pivoted to painting our home’s interior instead, and they did an excellent job from start to finish. Communication was strong throughout the process, the crew was professional and respectful of our home, and James followed up consistently to make sure everything was completed to our satisfaction. I would say they’re on the pricier side compared to some other quotes we received, but the professionalism, communication, and quality of the work helped justify the investment. Overall, we’re happy with the finished product and appreciate the integrity and care the team showed throughout the project.
