Project Gallery
A look at recent interior, exterior, and commercial painting projects across Live Oak and Suwannee County. Click any photo to view it larger.
Curb Appeal That Holds Up
Our exterior gallery includes everything from historic two-story homes with original wood siding to newer construction with vinyl and fiber cement. Each project starts with a full wash and inspection, moves through scraping, sanding, and caulking, and finishes with a quality exterior coating suited to Florida's sun and humidity. The photos here represent real completed work, not stock imagery — this is what our finished exteriors actually look like.
Clean Lines, Careful Prep
Interior projects in our gallery show the level of detail we bring to trim work, wall painting, and ceiling refreshes. Furniture protection, careful cutting-in around trim, and two-coat coverage are standard on every interior job, whether it's a single room or a full-home repaint.
Built for Business
Our commercial gallery includes storefronts, church exteriors, and buildings requiring lift equipment for taller elevations. These projects are scheduled around business hours and use durable, high-traffic-rated coatings suited to commercial use.
The Prep Work That Shows
Pressure washing photos in our gallery show both standalone cleaning projects and pre-paint prep work. You can see the branded work van and boom lift equipment we bring to larger jobs, including the church exterior project pictured at the top of this gallery.

Why This Matters When Choosing a Contractor
A lot of contractor websites lean heavily on stock photography — generic images of painters that could be from any company, anywhere. Every photo in this gallery is from an actual Charles Bean Painting project, which means what you're seeing is genuinely representative of the work you'd get if you hired us, not an aspirational stand-in.
Ask Us for Examples

Documenting the Work That Matters
Before Prep Work
We often photograph a property's condition before starting — peeling paint, mildew buildup, or wood damage — so both we and the homeowner have a clear record of what the project actually addressed.
Mid-Project Detail
Cabinet doors labeled and staged for spraying, trim being hand-cut, or lift equipment positioned for a tall exterior wall — these photos show the process, not just the finished result.
Finished Results
The bulk of our gallery focuses on completed work — the photos that best represent what a finished Charles Bean Painting project actually looks like once the crew has cleaned up and moved on.
Church Exterior & Pressure Washing, Live Oak, FL
One of our recent projects involved exterior pressure washing and painting work at a church in Live Oak, using our boom lift to reach the steeple and upper elevations safely. This kind of project shows the range of scale we work at — from a single residential bedroom to structures requiring specialized lift equipment, all handled by the same crew with the same attention to prep and finish quality.
Historic Home Exterior Repaint
Our historic home exterior projects showcase the careful trim and detail work these older properties require — original wood siding, tall columned porches, and architectural details that need a more hands-on approach than a modern production-built home. These jobs take longer but the finished results speak for themselves.
Farmhouse-Style Residential Exterior
Our residential exterior gallery includes projects like a white farmhouse-style home with a wraparound porch — the kind of large, detail-heavy exterior that requires careful sequencing between siding, trim, shutters, and porch elements to get a cohesive, professional finish. Wraparound porches in particular need extra planning since they add significant surface area and railing detail to what might otherwise look like a straightforward exterior job.
Commercial Building With Lift Access
For taller commercial buildings, our gallery includes projects completed using boom lift equipment to safely reach upper elevations and rooflines that ladders alone couldn't handle. These projects require more upfront planning around access, safety, and sometimes street or parking closures, but the process and prep standards stay consistent with every other job we take on.
Photos Get Updated as Projects Wrap
This gallery isn't a static, one-time collection — we add new photos as projects finish, so it's worth checking back periodically if you're in the research phase of planning your own project. Recently completed jobs, including the church exterior and residential farmhouse projects featured above, were added within the last several weeks.
Real Job-Site Photos, Not Studio Shoots
These photos are taken on-site, during and after real projects — not staged studio photography. That means you're seeing an honest representation of the work, lighting conditions and all, rather than an idealized version that doesn't match what you'd actually get.
Turning Inspiration Into a Plan
If a particular photo in this gallery catches your eye — a color, a finish, a specific type of project — mention it when you reach out. Referencing a specific example helps us understand exactly what you're picturing for your own project, and we can talk through how closely we could replicate that look given your property's specific surfaces and conditions.
We'd Love to Feature Your Home Next
If we complete a project for you and you're comfortable with it, we may ask permission to add photos to this gallery. It's always optional, and we're happy to leave your project out of any public gallery if you'd prefer to keep it private — your comfort matters more to us than filling out our portfolio.
We hope this gallery gives you a clear sense of the quality and range of work we bring to every project, from single rooms to full commercial buildings. Photos only tell part of the story though — the best way to know what we can do for your specific property is a free, in-person estimate.
