About Our Paint Service

Paint in South Florida faces challenges that most of the country never deals with — intense UV radiation that fades colors in months, humidity that causes adhesion failure, salt air that accelerates deterioration, and tropical storms that test every square inch of your exterior finish. Our painting division uses premium coatings specifically formulated for South Florida's conditions — 100% acrylic elastomeric exterior paints, UV-resistant color systems, and moisture-cure primers that bond to challenging surfaces. Every exterior project includes full pressure washing, surface repair, caulking, priming, and two coats of finish paint. Interior projects include wall repair, texture matching, trim work, and furniture-grade cabinet refinishing.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about paint in South Florida, answered by our team.

How much does house painting cost in South Florida?

Exterior house painting averages $3,500–$8,000 for a typical 2,000 sq ft home. Interior painting runs $2,500–$6,000 for whole-home. Premium projects (high-end materials, color matching, detail work) can reach $15,000–$25,000. Costs are $1.50–6/sf depending on scope and finishes.

How long does exterior paint last in Florida?

Premium exterior paints (Duration, Aura, elastomeric) last 10–15 years in Florida. Standard paints last 5–8 years. The difference is huge in our climate — intense UV, salt air, and tropical storms accelerate paint degradation. Investing $500–1,500 more in premium paint saves $5,000–10,000 in sooner repainting.

Is elastomeric paint worth it for stucco homes?

Yes, for stucco homes with hairline cracks or rough texture. Elastomeric paint stretches, bridges cracks up to 1/16", and provides waterproof coverage. Costs 20–40% more than standard acrylic but lasts 2x longer on stucco. Not needed for smooth surfaces or newer stucco in perfect condition.

How long does painting take?

Exterior: 5–7 days for typical home. Interior: 5–7 days for whole-home. Single rooms: 1–2 days. Timing includes prep (power wash, caulking, repairs), painting itself, and drying between coats. Weather delays exterior work — we don't paint during afternoon thunderstorms or high humidity.

Do I need to move out during interior painting?

No, but some disruption is unavoidable. We work room-by-room typically. Furniture is moved to center of room or to adjoining spaces. Use of rooms limited during and 24 hours after painting. Bedrooms habitable within 4–6 hours due to low-VOC paints. Pets should be moved to untreated areas.

Can you paint in summer Florida weather?

Yes, with scheduling adjustments. We start at sunrise, finish by early afternoon to avoid peak heat and afternoon thunderstorms. Elastomeric paints can handle 90°F+ temperatures. We monitor humidity (ideal 40–70%) and use products formulated for Florida climate. Some prep work (caulking, priming) can happen in afternoon heat.

How should I prepare for painting?

Exterior: Move outdoor furniture, patio décor, grills away from walls 6+ feet. Interior: Remove wall hangings, small décor, valuables. We handle furniture moving for larger interior projects. Keep pets secured. Plan to be home for color approval at key milestones.

What colors are popular in South Florida?

Neutrals dominate: Sherwin-Williams Alabaster, Benjamin Moore Simply White, light grays like Repose Gray. Coastal palette: soft blues, muted greens, sandy beiges. Bright accents on doors: teal, navy, terracotta. We provide color consultation with swatches and can do digital previews of your home in different colors.
