Why Florida Exteriors Fail
Florida is brutal on a house: UV all summer, driving rain, and humidity that never really lets go. Paint that peels early almost never failed because of the paint. It failed because the surface was still damp, the chalk was never washed off, or bare wood went uncoated. Fix those three things and the same product lasts years longer.

How It Works
Zero surprises, zero babysitting. You'll always know what happens next — and exactly what it costs.
We look at every elevation, find the rot and the failing caulk, and price the repairs before the paint — in writing.
Pressure wash, treat mildew, then replace bad wood and re-seal joints. This is where longevity is won or lost.
Bare wood and repairs get primed, and windows, roof, and plants get covered before a sprayer comes out.
Two coats of a system matched to your substrate, then we walk the whole house with you before final payment.

Straight Talk on Price
Every home is different, so we don't publish a fake number and change it later. Here's exactly what we're measuring when we walk your property.
Second stories mean ladders and staging, which adds time and equipment to the number.
Stucco, hardie, vinyl, and wood each want a different system. Wood is the most prep-heavy of the four.
Chalking, peeling, and mildew all add wash and prep hours before the first coat goes on.
Rotten fascia, soffit, and trim get scoped and priced up front so there is no mid-job change order.

Questions
With proper wash, repair, and priming, a quality system holds up for many years here. The variable is prep, not the label on the can — that is where cheap bids cut.
Always, and we let it dry properly. Painting over damp or chalky siding is the single most common reason Florida exteriors peel early.
Yes. Fascia, soffit, trim, and siding get repaired or replaced before painting, and it is scoped in the written estimate up front.
Landscaping, windows, roof, and hardscape all get masked and protected, and we clean up the site at the end of every day.
Most of the year works if we watch the forecast and dew point. We schedule around rain rather than rushing a coat on before a storm.
Free estimate with the repairs scoped in writing before the first coat — so the price you get is the price you pay.
