Our Story
How a small painting crew from Fort Myers built a business on hard work, honest pricing, and doing right by every customer.
How It All Started
Pinewoods Painting Services started in 2013 when Miles Dodson decided to turn his knack for painting into a real business. It was not a grand plan. Miles had been helping a family friend with a house project back in his early twenties and realized he was actually pretty good at it. He enjoyed the work — the transformation of taking a worn-out room or weathered exterior and making it look new again.
Miles started Pinewoods Painting Services because he wanted to run a business where the work speaks for itself. In the beginning, it was just Miles and a truck, handling small interior jobs around Fort Myers. Customers kept calling back and telling their neighbors, and the business grew steadily from word of mouth alone.
Over the years, the crew has expanded, the range of services has grown, and the job list includes everything from single-room repaints to full commercial exteriors. But the core approach has never changed: show up on time, be honest about the price, do quality work, and leave the place better than you found it.

Miles Dodson — Manager
Miles got into painting after helping a family friend with a house project back in his early twenties and realizing he was actually pretty good at it. He started Pinewoods Painting Services because he wanted to run a business where the work speaks for itself.
What matters most to Miles is showing up on time, being straight with customers about pricing, and leaving a clean job site when the crew is done. He still checks in on most jobs personally and holds the team to the same standard he set from day one.
When he is not on a job site, you can usually find Miles around Fort Myers — at a local restaurant, out fishing, or catching up with the neighbors. He is the kind of contractor who answers his own phone and follows through on what he says.
What Drives Us Every Day
Honest Communication
We give you a straight answer on pricing, timelines, and what your project actually needs. No runaround.
Quality Craftsmanship
Every job gets proper prep, quality materials, and the kind of attention to detail that shows in the finished product.
Respect for Your Home
We treat your property like our own — clean work areas, careful protection of floors and furniture, and a tidy site when we leave.
Community Pride
Fort Myers is our home. We take pride in making this community look its best, one project at a time.
Local Roots, Local Pride
We are not a franchise and we are not part of a chain. Pinewoods Painting Services is a Fort Myers business owned and operated by people who live here. That matters because when you hire us, you are working with your neighbors — people who have a stake in doing good work because they will see you at the grocery store next week.
We know Fort Myers. We know what the humidity does to exterior paint. We know which products hold up best in this climate and which ones do not. That local knowledge translates directly into better results for our customers.
What sets us apart from the big out-of-town contractors is simple: we care about each job individually. We are not trying to run through as many houses as possible. We are trying to do excellent work, one project at a time, for neighbors we will see again. If you are looking for a painting company that treats your home with the same respect they would give their own, give us a call.
