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.

They showed up on time, did the job, as agreed, came back for touch ups and made sure we were satisfied with everything they did. It's hard to trust anyone these days, but I highly recommend White Glove Painting as a professional, trustworthy company.Posted on Google Ed DePaulTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After interviewing and getting estimates from 7 other painting companies, this one stood out as the best. They were my final interview, and I was blown away by their professionalism and commitment. They are very personable, friendly, trustworthy, clean, and all about client satisfaction from beginning to end. The first day they arrived, Urbano Plaza knocked on the door and introduced himself and the team, which was Ivan and Victor. Very nice guys, I would trust them with my mother, no problem. I was so impressed, I have already recommended them to my friends with no hesitation. Call, and you will see. Thanks again, White Glove Painting Ed DePaul El-Cheapo Tree ServicePosted on Google Susan ClarkTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am a satisfied customer.I learned of White Glove Painting from the manager of my high rise condo. He said other residents had used them and they were full of praises. James Leon was professional and was knowledgeable about the scope of work. After having the popcorn removed from my ceilings, I agree. John and his brother showed up on time and completed the work in 4 days. I had a few areas I was concerned about and John returned, listening to my concerns, and fixed everything with no complaints at all. I am pleased with their work and would use them again.Posted on Google New Society MediaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 10/10 White Glove Painting is the best painting company in St Petersburg! I'd recommend them for cabinet painting and both interior and exterior painting. Quality is worth paying for!Posted on Google Thomas BerryTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. These guys are great! My wife and I are very pleased with the work James and his team did. They painted the exterior of the home and what was exceptional was two things. First, James offered some ideas about the finish that we didn't even consider before, turned out to be great suggestions. Second, his crew was extremely polite and courteous. Normally my experience as been contractors show up and start working without any consideration to the owner. These guys knocked on my door and asked permission to get started, who does that? James has these guys trained really really well, Hard to get excited about having your house painted, but when you get exceptional treatment you remember the company for future use. I would highly recommend Whiteglove to any of my friends.Posted on Google Vince MTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I couldn't have made a better choice.

Glad to have them working in my house. and I'll have them back for a few more jobs.Posted on Google Kevin SamplTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

I highly recommend themPosted on Google S B0ydTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. When I decided to paint my house, I called 10 painting companies- names I got from NextDoor, Google, Yelp and 4+ star reviews on the internet. Of these 10 painters, only 6 returned my phone call. Of those 6, 3 told me my house was too tall and 1 said he didn’t paint houses with metal roofs. 2 painters made appointments to come to the house to give me a quote. Only one showed up - James from White Glove Painting. The other guy called me 2 weeks after to tell me he could not paint my house. James gave me a printed estimate with pictures and a quote that was beyond reasonable. They just finished painting my house. His foreman, Urbano reviewed the quote and walked the whole house double checking what he and his crew were to do. They were professional, immaculate and went above and beyond delivering the best paint job I’ve ever seen. I could not be happier. I would recommend White Glove Painting 1000%Posted on Google Becky JonesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently hired this company to paint the entire interior of our home, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. James was incredibly responsive, prompt, and professional throughout the process, which made everything seamless and stress-free. His crew did an amazing job the quality of work, attention to detail, and overall finish exceeded our expectations. It’s clear they take pride in what they do. I would highly recommend giving James and his team a call if you’re looking for reliable, high-quality painting services. Thanks Jones Family
