Our Work
Recent exterior painting projects.
Florida sun, salt air, and tropical storms eat exterior paint. We use premium Sherwin-Williams systems built for SWFL conditions, with pressure-wash prep and HOA color-match support included on every job.
A full exterior paint job in SWFL covers more than just the body color. We address: stucco body (two coats of premium exterior), trim and fascia (semi-gloss for cleanability), soffit (mildew-resistant), garage door (often a separate color or finish), and front door (statement coat). HOA color match is included where required.
Bonita Springs has very active HOAs (Bonita Bay, Pelican Landing, Worthington) with strict architectural review boards. Color match for an HOA submission can take 2-4 weeks for approval; we handle the full process including swatch submission, board meetings, and approval documentation. Premium acrylic systems are also expected at this price point.
Our Bonita Springs crew works across the full city — from Riverside Park, Bonita Beach Park, Everglades Wonder Gardens, Bonita Springs YMCA, Promenade at Bonita Bay, Coconut Point (Estero border) — and we're familiar with how exterior painting scope changes between Bonita Bay and Pelican Landing.
Bonita Springs disaster history: Hurricane Ian (2022), Hurricane Irma (2017), Tropical Storm Eta (2020). Stucco patching from prior storm damage often needs primer + texture matching before repaint.
An off-the-shelf acrylic latex chalks, fades, and peels in 18 months on a Bonita Springs exterior. That is not a paint defect — it is the climate. Direct UV index hits 11+ on south-facing elevations from March through October, salt aerosol settles continuously on any home within two miles of Estero Bay, and CBS stucco substrates expand and contract through a 35-degree daily swing in winter. A coating system here has to handle all three, or it fails fast. The Bonita Springs homes that hold paint for ten to twelve years use elastomeric or high-build acrylic over properly prepped stucco. Nothing thinner survives.
Sherwin-Williams Loxon XP, a high-build acrylic at roughly 8-12 mils dry, bridges the hairline cracks endemic to CBS stucco on every Bonita Bay, Pelican Landing, and Spanish Wells home built before 2005. It also vapor-locks the wall, which is correct on a dry envelope and a disaster on a wall holding hidden cavity moisture. We moisture-test the substrate with a Tramex meter before specifying any elastomeric system. If the wall reads above 15 percent behind the surface, we dry the cavity first, repair the moisture source, then coat. Painting elastomeric over a wet wall guarantees blistering inside one rainy season — usually visible by the end of the first August.
Bonita Springs vacation homes repaint on a different cadence than primary residences. An absentee owner often goes 12-15 years between exterior repaints because the home is empty during the punishing summer UV months and the failure pattern is not visible during the cooler season the owner is in town. By the time the owner decides to list, the south and west elevations are chalked through the topcoat and the trim is starting to fail. We scope these projects in two phases: a remediation cycle on chalked and failed sections, then a full reapply across all elevations with matched system. Spot-painting alone never matches a fully oxidized wall.
Deep reds and dark blues hold roughly 5-7 years here. Mid-tone earth colors hold 8-10. Premium acrylic in light neutrals can hit 12+ years if the prep was clean and the substrate was dry. We tell homeowners this upfront because color choice is part of the warranty calculus, and HOA boards in Worthington and Bonita National have palette restrictions that already trend toward longer-holding tones. Benjamin Moore Aura Exterior and Loxon XP are the two systems we spec most for Bonita Springs CBS stucco — both formulated with mildewcide that matters once you cross east of Old 41 into the canopy humidity around Riverside Park and the Imperial River corridor.
The painted finish on a Bonita Springs home is half coating and half prep. We pressure-wash with fresh water to lift salt deposits, repair spalling stucco patches, prime bare substrate, and apply a system rated for the wall it is going on rather than whatever was on sale that month. That is why our exterior repaints in Hawthorne and Pelican Landing are still holding clean five and seven years out across the south elevations.
Full-pressure wash removes salt deposits, mildew, and chalking paint. Stucco cracks repaired and primed before paint.
Sherwin-Williams or Benjamin Moore premium exterior. Two coats for stucco body. Cut-in trim, fascia, soffit with mildew-resistant finish.
Garage door, front door, shutters as separate accent passes. Daily site clean-up. No paint on landscaping or windows.

Our Bonita Springs exterior painting crew dispatches across the full city — from Bonita Bay, Pelican Landing, Hawthorne, Spanish Wells, Bonita Beach, San Carlos Park (south), Riverwood, Imperial Shores, Bonita Farms, Bonita National, covering ZIP codes 34134, 34135. Substrate prep differs across Bonita Springs's build mix — CBS stucco, wood-frame, EIFS all need different priming.
Bonita Springs insurance carriers we work with: Citizens Property, NFIP flood claims, HOA carriers for Bonita Bay / Pelican Landing. We bill direct on most claims and document to adjuster standards from the first call.
Same crew, same standards — we cover the surrounding cities too:
All services in Bonita Springs →For stucco within a few miles of Estero Bay we specify Sherwin-Williams Loxon XP over a Loxon Conditioner primer on properly cured (28+ days) stucco, or an elastomeric like ConFlex XL when there are hairline cracks under 1/16 inch. Loxon XP breathes enough to let trapped moisture escape, which matters because Bonita Springs CMU walls cycle moisture daily. We avoid 100% acrylic latex straight to stucco because chloride blistering shows up within 18 months on waterfront homes in Bonita Bay. Surface prep is non-negotiable: pressure wash at 2,500 PSI with a mildewcide additive, then a moisture-meter check below 15% MC before any primer goes on.
The Bonita Bay ARB and most Pelican Landing sub-association committees require submission of color chips, a written scope, and sometimes a small drawdown sample on the building itself before painting begins. We prep the submission packet with Sherwin-Williams or Benjamin Moore exact color names plus LRV values (most ARBs require LRV above 30 for primary body color to control heat gain), include the product data sheets, and submit 4-6 weeks ahead of the start date. We have done enough Bonita Bay homes to know which colors fly through ARB and which trigger committee debate, so we steer color selection toward the approved palette early to avoid a two-month delay.
Chalking is degraded acrylic binder breaking down under UV; rust streaks mean galvanized fasteners or ladder-truss reinforcement in the CMU has corroded through. Prep starts with low-pressure wash plus a TSP and chalk-binding rinse to neutralize the surface, then we mechanically remove rust to bright metal, prime stained areas with a rust-converting primer like Sherwin-Williams Pro Industrial Pro-Cryl, and patch any spalled stucco with a polymer-modified patch like SikaTop 122. Then the full Loxon XP system goes on. Skipping the rust prep is the single biggest reason paint jobs in 34135 fail at the 3-year mark; the bleed-through telegraphs back through any topcoat.
We work within the Sherwin-Williams Loxon spec window: surface and ambient temperature 50-100F, surface dry, ambient RH below 85%, and dew point at least 5F below surface temperature. Practically in Bonita Springs that means starting around 8 AM after dew has burned off, stopping by 3 PM if afternoon storms are building, and pulling crews if RH spikes past 85%. We carry a sling psychrometer on every job and log readings at start, midday, and finish. Painting outside this window in our climate causes surfactant leaching (sticky brown streaks) and adhesion failure that becomes visible within months, not years.
On a waterfront Pelican Landing or Bonita Bay home with full sun and salt exposure, a properly prepped and applied Loxon XP system should give 8-10 years on stucco, 5-7 years on trim and fascia. We provide a written 5-year workmanship warranty covering peeling, blistering, and chalking attributable to application defects; the Sherwin-Williams product warranty layers on top for material defects. Most premature failures we see in 34134 are due to water intrusion behind the paint film (stucco crack not addressed, flashing failure at the lanai), not the paint itself, which is why we inspect and seal all stucco penetrations and control joints before any topcoat goes on.
