Central Florida is hard on exterior paint — intense UV, sudden afternoon storms, and year-round humidity all work against a cheap paint job. We prep and coat exteriors to actually hold up to it.
We start with a full pressure wash — this alone removes years of mildew, pollen, and chalking paint that would otherwise keep new paint from bonding properly. Once dry, we scrape loose or peeling paint, sand rough edges, and patch any damaged siding, stucco cracks, or wood rot we find along the way.
Every gap around windows, doors, and trim gets re-caulked to keep water out — this is one of the most skipped steps on cheap exterior jobs, and one of the most important in a climate that sees this much rain. Bare wood and repaired spots get primed before color goes on.
We finish with two coats of 100% acrylic exterior paint, chosen for UV resistance and flexibility through Florida's heat swings. Ladders, hoses, and equipment are kept clear of your landscaping and walkways for the full job.
Whether your home is lap siding, stucco, or a mix of both, the prep changes but the standard doesn't. Stucco gets checked for hairline cracks that let water behind the finish; siding gets checked for soft or rotted boards before anything is painted over.
We also handle soffits, fascia, garage doors, shutters, and railings as part of a full exterior job, or on their own if that's all you need refreshed.
Most Central Florida exteriors need repainting every 5 to 8 years, noticeably sooner than the 8 to 10+ year cycle common up north. Intense UV and humidity break down paint faster here, especially on south- and west-facing walls.
Yes. Stucco needs to be checked for cracks and often takes an elastomeric or masonry-grade primer before topcoat, while siding prep focuses more on scraping, sanding, and spot-priming bare wood.
We paint exteriors year-round, but we watch the forecast closely during Florida's summer rainy season since paint needs several dry hours to cure properly. Fall through spring tends to have the most predictable painting weather.
