Exterior Painting in Southwest Florida

An exterior repaint that skips prep fails faster here than almost anywhere else, so we spend more time on washing, scraping and caulking than on rolling paint.

We paint stucco, block, wood and vinyl siding exteriors, including trim, soffits, garage doors, and shutters as part of the same job.

What’s included

• Full exterior repaint, stucco, block or siding
• Trim, fascia, soffits and garage doors
• Pressure washing before paint (see our pressure washing page)
• Caulking of cracks and gaps around windows and doors
• Minor stucco crack repair before painting
• Shutters and exterior accents

Our process

1. 1

   Exterior assessment

   We check for peeling, chalking paint, stucco cracks, and rot before quoting, so the estimate reflects what the house actually needs.

2. 2

   Wash and prep

   Pressure washing removes chalking, mildew and dirt. Loose or peeling paint is scraped and feathered.

3. 3

   Caulk and patch

   Gaps around trim, windows and doors are caulked. Hairline stucco cracks are patched before priming.

4. 4

   Primer on bare or repaired areas

   Spot-primed where paint was removed or stucco was patched, so the finish coat cures evenly.

5. 5

   Paint

   We apply the appropriate number of coats of exterior-grade acrylic for proper coverage and a professional finish, only in the weather conditions the manufacturer specifies (if the forecast is wrong for paint, we move the day), with daily cleanup of the work area.

6. 6

   Final walkthrough

   We walk the finished exterior with you, wall by wall and in daylight, before we call it done.
