For nearly 30 years, CM Painting has built a reputation for delivering high-quality residential and commercial painting services throughout Northeast Florida. From hotels and apartment communities to custom homes and cabinet refinishing projects, their team has earned a reputation for attention to detail and lasting results.
As one of Duval Paint’s longest-standing contractor partners, CM Painting has relied on our team for products, color matching, and support for decades. We sat down with CM Painting Project Manager Lyndsey to learn more about the company’s approach to quality, the products they trust most, and what has kept them coming back to Duval Paint project after project.
A Partnership Built on Quality
CM Painting specializes in interior and exterior painting, cabinet refinishing, and epoxy floor coatings for both residential and commercial clients. Over the years, the company has completed projects for hotels, condominiums, apartment communities, new construction developments, and homes throughout the Jacksonville area.
According to Lyndsey, who has been with CM Painting as a project manager for eight years, attention to detail is what separates the company from other contractors.
“We’re very detailed and professional,” she said. “We want it to look like we picked your house up, took it to our shop, painted it, and brought it back.” That commitment to quality extends beyond the work itself. It also influences the products, materials, and suppliers CM Painting chooses to partner with on every project.
Service That Keeps Contractors Coming Back
CM Painting’s relationship with Duval Paint goes back to the very beginning of the business. According to Lyndsey, Duval Paint was the first supplier that owner Chris Morelan partnered with, and that relationship has continued for decades.
What keeps them coming back is the personal service they receive every time they walk through the door. “Whenever I go in there, they know me by name,” Lyndsey said. “They treat us like family.”
For CM Painting, having a local supplier that understands contractors’ needs is critical to keeping projects on schedule. Whether it’s sourcing products, answering questions, or resolving issues quickly, Duval Paint consistently provides the support CM Painting depends on.
“If they don’t have something in stock, they’ll do everything they can to get it,” Lyndsey said. “You never feel like you’re inconveniencing them. They’re always friendly, always positive, and always willing to help.”
Products That Deliver Consistent Results
When it comes to product selection, CM Painting relies heavily on Benjamin Moore coatings and specialty products available through Duval Paint. Some of their most frequently used products include:
- Benjamin Moore Regal®
- Benjamin Moore Aura®
- Benjamin Moore Element Guard®
- Benjamin Moore Scuff-X®
- Benjamin Moore Command®
- Simiron® floor coating systems
For Lyndsey and her team, durability and application performance are two of the most important factors when selecting products.
“The way it applies and the durability are huge for us,” she said. “We know these products work, and we know they don’t fail.” That reliability ultimately benefits their clients as well. Premium coatings help projects maintain their appearance longer and reduce the need for premature repainting.
“Lower-quality paint may look like it needs to be repainted in five years,” Lyndsey explained. “With the products we use, our customers can often get seven to ten years of life from their paint job when it’s maintained properly.”
Support Beyond the Paint Counter
One area where Duval Paint continues to make a difference for CM Painting is color matching and contractor support. Accurate color matching is essential when completing touch-ups, additions, or repeat projects, and Lyndsey says Duval Paint consistently goes above and beyond to ensure colors are correct.
“If a paint color doesn’t match the sample the way it should, they always make it right,” she said. “They stand behind what they sell.” She also pointed to Duval Paint’s efforts during the supply shortages throughout COVID as an example of their commitment to contractors.
During a time when paint products were difficult to source nationwide, Duval Paint worked tirelessly to track down materials and keep projects moving. More recently, when CM Painting needed a specific Element Guard base that wasn’t available locally, their sales representative personally picked it up from another location and delivered it directly to the jobsite.
“That’s the kind of service you don’t forget,” Lyndsey said. “They take accountability, they solve problems, and they genuinely care about helping us succeed.”
Why CM Painting Continues to Choose Duval Paint
For CM Painting, quality products are only part of the equation. The people behind the products matter just as much. “The products are top quality, but the people are too,” Lyndsey said. “Getting that family environment along with great paint products is something you can’t beat.”
After decades of working together, the partnership between CM Painting and Duval Paint continues to be built on trust, reliability, and a shared commitment to delivering exceptional results.
