Exterior paintingwith the prep work done properly
Wash, sand, repair, seal, prime, then Sherwin-Williams paint chosen for hot, humid, rainy weather. A paint job in Northeast Florida is only as good as what happens before the first coat.
Your exteriortakes a beating down here
Your home’s exterior can absolutely take a beating from intense sun, high humidity, heavy rain and other weather conditions. Over time, that exposure can cause paint to fade, crack, peel or deteriorate, leaving your home vulnerable to long-term damage.
A professional exterior paint job does more than improve curb appeal. It protects your home. Whether you’re refreshing your current colour or ready for a complete transformation, our team ensures long-lasting, high-quality results built for Florida’s climate.
Around 52 inches of rain a year across roughly 114 days, most of it concentrated into the summer, plus year-round UV. That combination is why exterior finishes here do not last as long as the same product would further north.
Exterior house paintingstart to finish
Our experienced professionals handle the project from start to finish. We begin by preparing the exterior through pressure washing, sanding rough areas, and sealing any vulnerable spots to prevent moisture intrusion.
Proper prep work is key to a smooth finish and long-term durability, so we make sure your exterior is properly sealed and protected before the first coat goes on.
Call or text (904) 707-6546 and we will come out, walk the house with you, and put a written estimate together. Free inspection, no obligation.
What prep actually meanssix steps, in this order
Every exterior painting quote says “prep included”. This is what ours covers, in the order it happens. If a price you have been given is well under the others, this list is usually where the difference went.
Pressure wash
Dirt, chalk, mildew and loose material come off first. Paint bonds to the surface, not to what is sitting on it.
Scrape & sand
Failing coatings are removed and hard edges feathered, so the new finish does not telegraph the old one back through.
Repair the substrate
Soft wood, split trim and failed boards get replaced before anything is painted. Paint does not fix rot, it hides it.
Caulk & seal
Joints, gaps and penetrations get sealed so wind-driven rain has nowhere to enter behind the finish.
Prime
Bare wood, exposed masonry and stain-prone areas get primed. Skipping this is why colour bleeds through a year later.
Mask & protect
Windows, roofing, pavers, landscaping and fixtures are covered before a sprayer comes out of the truck.
Paint is a finishnot a repair
The most common reason a repaint fails early is that it was covering a moisture problem rather than a worn finish. Water reaching the substrate from behind (a leaking window, failed flashing where the roof meets a wall, siding that has lost its seal, or trim that has softened) will push a coating off the wall no matter how well it was applied.
We look for that before we quote. If the wall is sound and the finish has simply aged out, paint is the right answer and we will say so. If it is not, we will show you the photos and price the repair alongside the paint, because repainting over it is money you will spend twice.
Holding a Certified Building Contractor licence (CBC1270530) as well as a Certified Roofing Contractor licence (CCC1335155) is what lets us do both. You are not being handed to another company halfway through.
Colour consultationbefore you commit to it
Not sure which colour will complement your home and neighborhood? We can guide you through colour selection to find a shade that fits your style and looks great with your home’s features while holding up to Florida’s bright sun and weather.
Two practical notes we give everyone. Colour reads differently outdoors than it does on a chip in your kitchen, so look at samples on the actual wall at different times of day. And deep, saturated colours fade faster under our UV load than muted ones. That is not a reason to avoid them, just something to know before you sign.
If your home is in an HOA community, check the approved palette before we order. We are happy to work from the list you are given.

Paintingquestions we get asked
Exterior home paint typically requires repainting every five to ten years depending on the material, paint quality, and exposure to sun and moisture. In Northeast Florida the south and west elevations almost always go first because they take the most direct UV, so it is normal for one side of a house to need attention before the rest. If the finish is chalking on your hand, cracking, or peeling in sheets, it is past due.
Most exterior painting projects take two to three days, depending on the size of the home, weather conditions and surface preparation needed. Prep is the variable. A home that needs extensive scraping, wood replacement or caulking will take longer than the paint itself. Summer afternoon storms also cost working hours, which we build into the schedule rather than rushing a coat on ahead of the rain.
We use Sherwin-Williams paint designed specifically for durability in hot, humid and rainy climates. Product line and sheen are chosen for the surface being coated: stucco, fiber cement, wood siding and trim do not all want the same thing. We will tell you what we are putting on your house and why before we order it.
Prep is the job. We pressure wash, scrape and sand failing areas, replace damaged wood, caulk and seal open joints, then prime bare surfaces before the first finish coat goes on. Proper prep is what decides whether the paint lasts five years or eighteen months, and it is the part that gets skipped when a price looks too good.
Yes. Not sure which colour will complement your home and neighborhood? We can guide you through colour selection to find a shade that fits your style and looks great with your home's features while holding up to Florida's bright sun and weather. Bear in mind that strong, saturated colours fade faster under our UV load than muted ones, and we will say so before you commit.
Peeling that comes back usually means moisture is reaching the substrate from behind, not from the weather hitting the front. A leaking window, failed flashing at the roofline, or siding that has lost its seal will push a new coating off the wall no matter how well it was applied. Because we hold a Certified Building Contractor licence as well as a roofing licence, we can find and fix that source rather than selling you another coat.
Yes. Some siding arrives with a factory finish that should be left as it is, and some is designed to be painted on site. Because we install siding in-house, we can price the siding and the finish as one project on one schedule instead of you coordinating two contractors around each other.
