Our Story

A Band.
A Bus.
A Painting Company.

In 2007, Andrew and his bandmate moved to Miami and started painting homes and businesses between tours — faux finishes, Venetian plaster, murals — getting good at the craft while the band traveled the country in a big yellow school bus.

By 2019, fifteen years of experience and a clear gap in the market pointed in one direction. Property owners in South Florida were frustrated. Finding a painter who showed up when they said, finished when they promised, and communicated clearly throughout was harder than it should have been.

GG was built to fix that. Same principles today. Much bigger team.

Today, GG holds a Certified General Contractor (CGC) license and handles everything from interior repaints in Cocoplum to full-envelope waterproofing and concrete restoration on South Florida's largest commercial properties.

Andrew still plays guitar. The school bus is retired. The company is anything but.

The Name

Gables & Grove isn't
just a name —
it's who we are.

We didn't name this company after two neighborhoods because it sounded nice. We named it because we live here, we grew up working here, and we know these streets the way only locals do.

Coral Gables and Coconut Grove are our home. The barrel tile roofs, the Mediterranean facades, the HOA communities — we've been working them for over a decade. If you live there, you're not hiring a contractor from somewhere else. You're hiring your neighbor.

Before We Touch Anything

We walk it
with you first.

Every project starts with a walkthrough — virtual or in-person. We listen, we look, and we talk through what we see before anyone picks up a brush. No surprises. No change orders you didn't see coming.

Your home is one of the biggest investments you'll ever make. We treat every walkthrough like you're trusting us with something that matters — because you are.

The Team

65+ years.
One standard.

The people you'll speak with, the leads who run your project, and the team that shows up on day one. From the first phone call to the final walk — the same playbook, every time.
