Why Florida Exteriors Fail

Most Exterior Paint Fails Here in Three Years. It Does Not Have To.

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.

Full pressure wash and proper dry time
Mildew and chalking treated, not painted over
Rotten wood and trim repaired or replaced
Cracks, gaps & failed caulk sealed
Bare wood and repairs spot-primed
Coating system matched to stucco, wood, or siding
Windows, roof, and landscaping masked and protected

How It Works

Your Exterior Project, Step by Step

Zero surprises, zero babysitting. You'll always know what happens next — and exactly what it costs.

Walk the House

We look at every elevation, find the rot and the failing caulk, and price the repairs before the paint — in writing.

Wash & Repair

Pressure wash, treat mildew, then replace bad wood and re-seal joints. This is where longevity is won or lost.

Prime & Protect

Bare wood and repairs get primed, and windows, roof, and plants get covered before a sprayer comes out.

Coat & Inspect

Two coats of a system matched to your substrate, then we walk the whole house with you before final payment.

Straight Talk on Price

What Actually Drives Your Quote

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.

1

Square footage and stories

Second stories mean ladders and staging, which adds time and equipment to the number.

2

Siding material

Stucco, hardie, vinyl, and wood each want a different system. Wood is the most prep-heavy of the four.

3

Condition of the existing coating

Chalking, peeling, and mildew all add wash and prep hours before the first coat goes on.

4

Repairs needed

Rotten fascia, soffit, and trim get scoped and priced up front so there is no mid-job change order.

Questions

Exterior Painting Questions

How long should an exterior paint job last in Florida?

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.

Do you pressure wash first?

Always, and we let it dry properly. Painting over damp or chalky siding is the single most common reason Florida exteriors peel early.

Can you repair rotten wood?

Yes. Fascia, soffit, trim, and siding get repaired or replaced before painting, and it is scoped in the written estimate up front.

What about my plants and windows?

Landscaping, windows, roof, and hardscape all get masked and protected, and we clean up the site at the end of every day.

When is the best time to paint an exterior here?

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.
