Overview

Curb appeal starts with proper prep

The outside of your house takes a beating from Florida sun, humidity and rain. A good exterior paint job starts with the surface: cleaning, scraping or sanding where needed, repairing damaged areas, and priming before the finish coats go on.

We paint exteriors for Tampa Bay homeowners and builders, from single-story homes to three-story homes, including siding, trim, columns, porches and entry doors.

What's Included

What exterior painting includes

We can paint the whole exterior or focus on specific areas. Here is what is typically part of the project.

  • Siding

    Board-and-batten, lap and other painted siding surfaces.

  • Trim & window frames

    Crisp lines around windows, corners and eaves.

  • Doors & entryways

    Front doors, side doors and the trim around them.

  • Porches & columns

    Covered porches, posts and columns, including bold dark colors.

  • Stucco & masonry

    Stucco and similar surfaces, prepared for a clean, even finish.

  • Concrete & paver surfaces

    Coatings for concrete or pavers, when they suit the project.

Preparation & Approach

Careful prep, clean results

How we prepare

We start by looking closely at what each surface needs. Depending on the home, that can include cleaning, scraping loose paint, repairing damaged areas, caulking and priming bare spots. Skipping this step is a common reason exterior paint does not last.

What to expect

Exterior work depends on the weather, so we plan the schedule with you and keep you updated if conditions change. Windows, plants and surrounding areas are protected while we work, and the site is kept tidy.

FAQ

Common questions

How much does exterior painting cost?

It depends on the size and height of the home, the type and condition of the surfaces, and how much prep and repair is needed. We look at the project first and then give you an estimate.

How long does an exterior paint job take?

It depends on the size of the home and the amount of prep. Weather also plays a role in Florida. We will go over a schedule with you when we plan the project.

Do you work with builders and general contractors?

Yes. We work with homeowners, builders and general contractors.

Can you paint trim, doors and columns as part of the same project?

Yes. Doing it together keeps the colors and finish consistent, and it is often more efficient than scheduling separate visits.

How should I prepare my home?

Move outdoor furniture and items away from the walls, and let us know about pets, gates and access. We handle protecting windows, plants and surrounding areas.

Can I change my home's color?

Yes. We are happy to talk through color options with you, including bold contrasts like dark trim and columns against a light body color.
