Four things that destroy exterior paint here
Exterior paint in Southwest Florida rarely fails from age. It fails from one of these, and each one changes a decision about what goes on the wall.
UV
A south or west elevation takes direct sun most of the day, year round. It chalks and fades first, which is why one side of a house often looks years older than the others.
What we do about itHigher-grade resin on the sun-facing elevations, not just on the front.
Salt air
Anything within a few miles of the Gulf carries salt onto the wall. It works into hairline cracks and lifts coating from underneath.
What we do about itWash and neutralise before coating, then seal every crack rather than bridging it.
Humidity
High humidity extends cure times and feeds mildew on shaded north walls. Recoating too soon traps moisture in the film.
What we do about itMildewcide in the wash, and coats timed to actual cure rather than to the schedule.
Storm season
Driving rain finds unsealed stucco cracks and pushes water behind the coating. That is what causes the blistering people mistake for bad paint.
What we do about itCrack repair and sealing done before any coating, and dry-season scheduling where possible.
What an exterior job covers
Stucco, siding, trim, doors, and shutters, pressure washed and prepped before anything is applied. The coating is selected for what the wall actually faces, which is why the finish still looks new years later.
- Pressure wash and full surface preparation
- Stucco crack repair and sealing before coating
- Weather-rated elastomeric and acrylic systems
- Trim, soffits, fascia, doors, and shutters
- Landscaping covered and protected throughout
- Colour consultation against your roof and hardscape
Ideal for: Stucco and siding homes, trim refresh, complete exterior repaints, condo buildings
An exterior after the last coat
A house walked from the driveway after the last coat. Stucco, trim, soffits, and garage doors all read as one surface, and that evenness is what the prep underneath it paid for.
- 01Pressure wash first, then the stucco is read for cracks while it is still wet.
- 02Every crack cut out and sealed, not bridged with a thick coat.
- 03Coats timed to actual cure, which in August is not the same as the label.

Get the elevation looked at before storm season.
We walk the exterior, check the stucco, and give you a written number. It costs nothing and takes about an hour.
- We walk all four elevationsNot just the front. The south and west walls are the ones that tell you how long you have.
- The stucco gets read, not glanced atHairline cracks, previous patches, and anything already lifting at the base.
- One number, in writingBody, trim, soffits, doors and shutters broken out so you can stage the work.
A photo of each elevation from the street is enough for us to start.
