Exterior Home Painting in Florida

Florida sun, salt air, and driving rain destroy paint jobs that skip the prep. We pressure-wash, repair the stucco, seal the cracks, and only then paint. The finish lasts instead of peeling in two summers.

What we do

Coatings and wall work

Because we hold a general contractor licence, a repaint can include the wall itself and not only its color.

  • A freshly painted cream stucco wall on a Florida home, with white window and door trim. An outdoor outlet and hose bib sit below the window.

    Exterior paint

    Pressure wash with mildewcide, patch cracked or spalled stucco, seal every window, door, and penetration, spot-prime, then two finish coats.

  • A heavily textured stucco wall carrying a thick coating, raking sunlight showing the surface relief, beside a white-trimmed window

    Elastomeric coating

    For stucco with widespread hairline cracking: a thicker, flexible membrane. It bridges movement cracks and waterproofs the wall rather than just coloring it.

  • A newly framed opening in a stucco wall, with pressure-treated jambs and a wood header. Concrete block is visible inside, and an existing garage door stands to the right.

    Structural openings

    Enclosing a garage door opening, cutting a new window with a proper header, closing an old side door. Engineered, permitted, inspected work.

Why paint fails early here

Almost everything that makes exterior paint fail in Florida happens before the first coat goes on.

Why it matters

Benefits of getting the exterior painted

Every Exterior Painting & Openings job we take is permitted and built to Florida code.

Our process, step by step

  1. Free in-home consultation

    We walk the exterior and note stucco damage and failing caulk. We measure the wall area and discuss colors and any opening work. 30-45 minutes, no obligation.

  2. Itemized quote

    Within 3 business days you get the quote. Wash, stucco repair, sealing, priming, and finish coats are each a line item. We list any structural opening scope with its permit.

  3. Surface prep

    Pressure wash with mildewcide, stucco crack and spall repair, sealing of penetrations, and priming. This is the unglamorous work that decides how long the paint lasts.

  4. Painting

    Two finish coats, sprayed and back-rolled on stucco for full penetration, with clean lines at every transition. Homes take 3-5 working days including prep, though that varies.

  5. Final walkthrough

    We inspect every elevation with you in daylight and touch up anything that needs it before we call it done.

Licensed, insured, and permitted in every county we serve.

Frequently asked questions

How long does an exterior paint job last in Florida?

With real prep and quality acrylic, expect roughly 7-10 years; elastomeric systems often longer. Skipped prep is why some homes peel in 2-3. Sun and salt punish shortcuts here faster than anywhere.

What is elastomeric coating and do I need it?

A flexible, high-build coating that stretches across hairline stucco cracks and seals the wall against wind-driven rain. It is worth it when your stucco shows widespread fine cracking; on sound surfaces quality acrylic does the job. We recommend honestly based on the wall, since we warranty the result either way.

Do you repair stucco before painting?

Always. Cracks, spalls, and hollow spots are repaired and texture-matched before any paint goes on. Painting over damaged stucco just decorates the problem while water keeps getting in.

Does painting require a permit?

Painting itself doesn't. Structural opening work does, such as enclosing a garage door or cutting a new window. We pull the permit as the licensed contractor of record, with the engineering to match.

Can you close up a window or door so it doesn't show?

Yes, we infill the opening with matching block or framing. We texture-match the stucco across the patch and paint the whole elevation. Done with a full repaint, the old opening disappears entirely.

Does the time of year matter for painting in Florida?

The dry season, roughly November through April, is ideal, but we paint year-round. In summer we work around the afternoon storm pattern and never coat a wet wall. Trapped moisture is what makes paint fail.
