Chris Benedetto founded Platinum Painting and Coatings Inc. in 2018, bringing three generations of painting knowledge and the discipline instilled by the United States Marine Corps to every project. What began as a one-person operation in Port Orange has grown into a recognized painting company throughout Volusia and Flagler counties, with Chris remaining hands-on through every estimate, color consultation, and final walkthrough.
The company handles residential and commercial painting, including full interior and exterior repaints, drywall repair and texture, cabinet painting, pressure washing, waterproofing, epoxy floor coatings, deck coatings, and parking lot striping. Chris maintains a relationship with Sherwin-Williams for premium product sourcing. When a commercial client's Family Dollar building had defeated five previous painters with chronic peeling, Chris diagnosed the underlying cause and delivered a lasting finish.
The fully bonded and insured team serves Daytona Beach, Port Orange, Ormond Beach, New Smyrna Beach, Flagler Beach, Palm Coast, and surrounding communities. Every project is backed by a five-year workmanship warranty.

The three one-star reviews present an unusual pattern.

Tina Palmer's five-star review directly addresses this, noting "I have read some negative reviews" but vouching for Chris based on personal experience as both a friend and client.
