High-Quality Painting Services in Central FL: Bringing Your Vision to Life with Unmatched Craftsmanship
The Mujica family has spent more than 35 years with brushes, sprayers, and trim guns in hand. GEM Painting & Trim brought that experience under one roof as a small, family-run company where the people who own the business are the same people checking your project.
You get painting that holds up and trim work that's measured twice and cut once. No call centers, no rotating subcontractors you've never met. Matt is on-site, walking the work daily and standing behind it when it's done. That's a different experience than handing your home to a large outfit that treats you like a ticket number.
Our Painting & Carpentry Services: Crafted with Care, Designed to Last
Each project gets the same attention to prep, product, and finish — because that's what makes paint last in Central Florida's heat and humidity.
Exterior Painting
Central Florida sun and summer rain are hard on a house, and it shows up on the outside first. Our exterior painting services start with the parts most crews rush: washing the surface, repairing or replacing rotted wood, sealing stucco cracks, and prepping a few inches down at the base of the wall so the old color never peeks out at the foundation line. Then a premium Sherwin-Williams coating goes on, matched to what you actually have, whether that is stucco, wood, or Hardie board. Pool decks and lanais get the same treatment, crack repair included. If your neighborhood has an HOA or sits in a historic district, it is worth knowing whether your paint job needs a permit in Florida before the first coat goes on.
Interior Painting
Change how the inside of your home feels with our top-tier interior painting services. We protect your furniture and floors before starting, patch and sand the surfaces, and prime where the wall needs it, because that groundwork is what keeps a finish looking right in five years. Low-VOC Sherwin-Williams paint goes on from there, cut clean and applied evenly across walls, ceilings, trim, and doors.
Carpentry & Trim
Details are what separate a finished room from an unfinished one, and our carpentry and trim services exist for exactly that. We install crown molding, baseboards, chair rail, wainscoting, and custom trim, measured and cut to the room rather than to a stock length. Wood that Florida humidity has worn down gets repaired or replaced first. Because we paint as well as build, the same team finishes what it installs.
Commercial Painting
First impressions count in business, and our commercial painting services cover offices, retail storefronts, restaurants, and medical suites. We plan the schedule around your operating hours so trade keeps moving, agree scope and timeline in writing before starting, and use coatings rated for constant foot traffic and frequent cleaning. Matt scopes every commercial project himself, so the proposal you sign is what gets delivered. Residential or commercial, you can see the whole picture on our painting and carpentry services page.
What Our Customers Are Saying:
Why Choose Us?
GEM Painting & Trim is a family company, and that shapes how every project runs. The Mujica family has worked in painting and carpentry for more than 35 years, and that experience shows up in decisions you never see: how long a surface gets prepped, which coating suits a particular wall, when a board needs replacing instead of caulking. Homeowners across Winter Park and the wider Orlando metro hire us because the standard does not shift from one job to the next.
One-Year Workmanship Warranty
All services include a standard one-year warranty policy providing full coverage against any issues that may arise during the first 12 months. Should any problems occur, our team will inspect, address, and resolve them promptly as part of our standard commitment to long-lasting quality.
Quality over Quantity
We don’t rush through projects just to move on to the next one. Our focus is on delivering exceptional results that last. From carefully prepping each surface to applying premium paints and finishes, we take the time to ensure everything is done right the first time, providing you with long-term value.
Personalized Service
At GEM Painting & Trim, you’re not just another client—you’re part of our family. We work closely with you throughout the process, offering personalized service that aligns with your vision. Open communication and transparency are at the heart of everything we do, ensuring a stress-free and enjoyable experience.
Attention to Detail
From initial prep to the final coat, we believe it’s the little things that make a big difference.

With GEM, every brushstroke is made with precision and care.
Meet Matt Mujica Owner & Your Project Lead
Matt Mujica runs GEM Painting & Trim, and he's not the kind of owner you meet once and never see again. He's hands-on. On most projects, Matt is your primary point of contact from the estimate through the final walkthrough — the person managing the crew, checking the work daily, and making sure the finish matches what was promised.
That direct involvement comes from a simple belief: the best results happen when the owner's name is on the line. Matt grew up around the family's painting and trim work, learning the craft from Caroline and German before stepping into the lead role. When you hire GEM, you're getting an owner who walks every job, confirms the details with the crew, and personally signs off before asking what you think.
It's a level of accountability that's hard to find when you hire a big, impersonal company. With Matt, you know exactly who's responsible for your home.

FAQs
Pricing depends on the size of the space, the surfaces involved, the prep required, and the products you choose. That is why we give free on-site estimates instead of quoting blind. Matt or a team member looks at your actual home, talks through what you want, and gives you a clear proposal with real numbers, no guesswork and no pressure.
Yes. Every estimate is free and done in person. For interior projects, plan on roughly 30 to 60 minutes so we can see every surface and give you an accurate proposal on the spot.
GEM Painting & Trim carries insurance and operates as a locally owned company. We are happy to confirm our coverage details when you reach out, and it is a fair question you should always ask of any contractor.
It depends on the scope. A single interior room is a different timeline than a full exterior repaint. Once we have seen your project you will get a realistic schedule up front, and we stick to it. The crew arrives on time and keeps you posted on daily progress.
We use Sherwin-Williams products exclusively, selected for Central Florida's climate. For exteriors the product matters especially, which is why your warranty is tied to the coating you choose, from Super Paint to Duration to Emerald Rain Refresh. We will recommend what fits your home and your budget.
Both. The "& Trim" in our name is real work, not a tagline. We install and finish baseboards, crown molding, chair rail, wainscoting, and other finish carpentry, and we paint all of it to match.
Yes. Along with homes, we paint offices, retail spaces, and other commercial properties, working around your hours to keep disruption to a minimum.
You'll deal with Matt. On most projects he's your point of contact from the estimate through the final walkthrough, and he personally checks the work as it goes. That direct line is one of the biggest reasons homeowners pick a family-run company.
