In 2017 my CYV community, Southern Star Villas received approval thought a petition to be allowed to change the original colors of our homes. We had 21 colors along with a trim and front door colors pre-selected to choose from.

Of the 80 CYV's, so far 34 have repainted their home. Two did it themselves, my neighbor was one. He used 10 gallons of Sherwin Williams paint at about $80 a gallon. He took about two weeks working a little every day.

31 others used Oscar's, myself included and one used Steve Kling. Our villas were 8 years old and the pale yellow color was starting to fade, also there were a few hairline cracks in the stucco. Along with the ability to change to a new color, I decided to have it done after receiving ARC approval.

Oscar sent a power washing crew to my home and washed all the exterior about 3 days beforehand. The rain gutters and facsia looked like new afterwards. Then three days later a crew of two and eventually 4 arrived about 8:30 in the morning. They removed all the downspouts, sealed any cracks, and rolled on two coats of Sherwood Williams paint and were done by 4pm. They even painted the ceiling on the front porch and lanai. I would definitely use Oscar again. Eight years ago I used Investment Painters inside my home and they were just as professional.
