About Scorpion Paint
Panama City Beach's woman-owned painting contractor — built on empowerment, transparency, and coastal expertise.
Meet Cerise Womack
Cerise Womack didn't just start another painting company in Panama City Beach, Florida. She built something different — a business where empowerment isn't just a buzzword, it's the foundation of every brushstroke, every project, every relationship.
As a woman founder in an industry that doesn't see many, Cerise brings a level of sophistication and intentionality that sets Scorpion Paint apart. She built the company around a simple but unusual idea: when the people doing the work have real skin in the game, the quality takes care of itself.
At Scorpion Paint, every team member knows exactly how their work impacts the bottom line — because they share in the success. When a project exceeds expectations, when customers are thrilled, when quality standards are surpassed, everyone wins together. That alignment is what makes Scorpion Paint different from every other painting crew working the Florida Panhandle.
The Empowerment Model
Most painting companies pay hourly wages and move on to the next job. We built something different.
Skin in the Game
Every painter on the Scorpion Paint team understands exactly how their work affects the business. When the job goes well, everyone shares in that success — not just Cerise.
Transparency First
We give you an itemized written estimate upfront. No vague quotes, no surprise line items after the work is done. You know exactly what you're paying for before we start.
Exceptional Is Personal
At Scorpion Paint, exceptional results aren't just a sales pitch — they're personal. When you refer us to a neighbor or come back for your next project, that means something to every person on this team.
A Crew That Cares
When you hire Scorpion Paint, you get a crew that has been background-checked, trained to Cerise's standards, and has a direct stake in the quality of their work. These aren't day laborers assembled off a job board — they're painters who chose to be here and who understand that their reputation is on the line alongside Cerise's.
Every Scorpion Paint project follows the same protocol regardless of the job size. Furniture is moved and protected. Drop cloths cover every floor. Gaps are caulked, surfaces are primed where needed, and two full coats are applied before we sign off. The daily cleanup isn't optional — it's standard.
When we leave, the only evidence that we were there is the finished walls.
Licensed, Insured & Background-Checked
When you let someone into your home, credentials aren't a formality — they're protection.
Florida Licensed Painting Contractor
Scorpion Paint holds a full Florida painting contractor license. Your project meets state standards and you're protected under Florida law.
General Liability Insurance
Your home and property are fully protected while our team is on-site. If anything is accidentally damaged, you're covered — not left arguing with an uninsured contractor.
Background-Checked Painters
Every member of our team passes a background check before setting foot in your home. You can trust who you're letting through your door — that trust matters to us as much as it does to you.
Woman-Owned Business
Scorpion Paint is proudly founded and led by Cerise Womack — one of the few women founders in the painting trade in the Florida Panhandle.
Trade Accounts — Sherwin-Williams, Benjamin Moore, PPG
We have professional trade accounts with the top paint manufacturers, giving us access to professional-grade products and pricing that isn't available off the shelf to homeowners.
Satisfaction Guarantee
If your space isn't perfection, we come back and make it right at no additional cost. That's not a fine-print guarantee — it's genuinely how Cerise operates this company.
Professional-Grade Paint for Florida's Coastal Climate
The difference between a paint job that lasts 3 years and one that lasts 10 years starts with the products on the truck.
Florida's Gulf Coast is one of the harshest environments for exterior paint in the continental United States. Intense UV from direct sun and water reflection, salt air corrosion, high humidity, and frequent rain cycles demand products built for those conditions — not the same cans available at a big-box store.
Scorpion Paint holds trade accounts with Sherwin-Williams, Benjamin Moore, and PPG. That gives us access to professional product lines, accurate color matching, and formulations that the general public can't simply walk in and buy.

From Homeowners Across the Panhandle
★★★★★"Cerise and her team transformed our beach house exterior. Living near the water means paint takes a beating — they used the right products and the result has held up beautifully."
★★★★★"Scorpion painted our entire new construction home — 2,800 sq ft — in 4 days, including all trim and ceilings. Immaculate job. I've already referred them to three neighbors."
★★★★★"We had cabinets repainted and crown molding done throughout the entire house. Scorpion Paint was meticulous — you'd never know it wasn't brand new. Color consultation was genuinely helpful."
★★★★★"Our stucco exterior was peeling and cracked. They repaired everything properly, primed, and painted with a coastal-grade product. Two years later, still looks perfect."
★★★★★"I manage three rental properties in Bay County. Scorpion handles all my turnover painting. Fast, clean, professional — my tenants always comment on how fresh everything looks."
