Years of Painting Experience

Meet Don Buchanan

Hi, I'm Don
+
-
Hi, I’m Don Buchanan—an Ohio native and proud Marine Corps veteran (1984–1988).

After my service, I discovered my passion for the flooring industry. I began my career in 1991 with Aladdin Carpet Mills, where I learned the value of craftsmanship, customer care, and doing things the right way.
From Flooring to Full-Service Business
+
-
In 1999, I took the leap and started my own flooring company. Back then, I thought success meant more calls, more pitches, more pressure. But the harder I chased transactions, the more disconnected I felt from the people I was trying to serve.

Over time, I expanded into painting, remodeling, and eventually all aspects of home improvement. Today, I’m grateful to bring decades of hands-on experience to St. Augustine and the surrounding areas.
Guided by Faith and Service
+
-
I’m an active member of Anastasia Church, and my faith shapes the way I work—showing up with integrity, compassion, and a heart to serve others. “People don’t just buy services—they buy into people they trust.”
What I've Learned Along the Way
+
-
Everything changed when I stopped trying to “sell” and started trying to understand. I listened more. I asked better questions. I focused on trust instead of closing the deal. And when I did that, the results came naturally—along with relationships, referrals, and real loyalty.

Here’s what years of experience have taught me:
-
Listen more than you speakAsk better questions
- Focus on trust, not transactions
- Show up with presence and purpose
- Serve people the way Christ calls us to serve
- People remember how you make them feel

“It’s not about being well-known—it’s about being worth knowing.”
A Personal Invitation

’d love the opportunity to earn your trust and help with your next project.

Affordable Painting & Handyman Services

Kind Words

I recently contracted with Affordable Painting and Handyman Services to paint my entire house exterior and selected areas inside. Affordable Painting and Handyman Services is a veteran owned business. As a veteran myself, I always look for veterans for any handyman service needs I may have. The work that was performed by this company was outstanding. Don Buchanan, the owner was especially helpful in recommending color selections as well the type of paint that would endure in the environment of my location near salt water. His prices were very affordable, and the work was performed on time and at a quality level I expected.

Affordable Painting & Handyman Services is a local & reputable service company in St Augustine owned & operated by a Gulf War era Marine Veteran. We previously hired Don Buchanan to paint portions of exterior areas of our home including garage & entry doors, trim and windows.
Don’s expert prep-work & painting covered all those surfaces with rich luster and durable finishes that will last for years! Additionally Don re-stained & trimmed our home’s exterior wood decks, railings, and spindles that gave new life to salt & sun tattered decking surfaces!We certainly approve of Don’s tradesman skills for quality work, acknowledge his good character as a local member of our community and value his integrity to do the job right start to finish for the right price.
