Tom Landry’s Florida Picks

What We Actually Recommend

After 30+ years painting in Sarasota, Bradenton, and the Gulf Coast — these are the products Tom reaches for first, and why.

01
Best Interior — Walls
Emerald Interior Satin

Unmatched hide in one coat, zero VOC, and the cleanability Florida families need. Upgrades every room to feel professionally finished.

02
Best Florida Exterior
Emerald Exterior or Duration Exterior

The only products we trust to last a full cycle in Florida’s brutal UV and humidity — both include mildew inhibitors and elastomeric flexibility.

03
Best Cabinets & Trim
Emerald Urethane Trim Enamel

Cures to a rock-hard furniture-grade finish. What separates a professional cabinet paint job from a DIY one that chips in 6 months.

04
Best Value Repaint
SuperPaint Interior

When budget matters, SuperPaint delivers professional-grade results at a fraction of Emerald’s cost. Excellent for whole-home repaints.

05
Best Coastal Properties
Emerald Rain Refresh

Self-cleaning tech washes salt deposits away with rainfall — a game-changer for Longboat Key and Anna Maria Island homes.

06
Best Rainy Season Exterior
Resilience Exterior

Recoatable in 4 hours even in high humidity — perfect for Florida’s summer painting season when a rain delay could ruin your job.

We Bring the Best Paint
to Every Project

Tom Landry Painting uses only premium Sherwin-Williams products — and we guide every Sarasota, Bradenton, and Lakewood Ranch client to exactly the right grade for their surface and Florida climate demands.
