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.
Cape Coral exterior paint fails in two specific ways: salt-air corrosion on the canal side, and intense UV on south-facing CBS stucco. Premium acrylic systems are non-negotiable here — economy paint chalks and fails inside 18 months. We pressure-wash with fresh water to remove salt deposits before any prep, then prime any spalling stucco patches first.
Our Cape Coral crew works across the full city — from Cape Coral Yacht Club, Sun Splash Water Park, Four Mile Cove Ecological Preserve, Cape Coral Bridge, Tarpon Point Marina, Cape Coral Hospital — and we're familiar with how exterior painting scope changes between Cape Harbour and Tarpon Point.
Cape Coral disaster history: Hurricane Ian (2022 — Cat 4 direct hit), Hurricane Irma (2017), Hurricane Charley (2004), repeated tropical storm flooding. Stucco patching from prior storm damage often needs primer + texture matching before repaint.
Standard acrylic latex chalks, fades, and peels in 18 months on a Cape Coral exterior. That's not a paint defect — it's the environment. UV index hits 11+ on south-facing walls eight months a year, salt aerosol settles continuously on canal-side elevations, and CBS stucco substrates expand and contract through a 40-degree daily swing. A coating system here has to handle all three or it fails fast. The Cape Coral homes that hold paint for 10-12 years use elastomeric or high-build acrylic over properly prepped stucco. Nothing less holds up.
Elastomeric (high-build acrylic, 8-12 mils dry) bridges hairline cracks in CBS stucco — the kind you see on every 1980s-1990s Cape Coral home in Pelican, Hancock Bridge, and the older parts of 33990. It also vapor-locks a wall, which is fine on a dry envelope and a disaster on a wall holding hidden cavity moisture. We moisture-test the stucco with a Tramex meter before specifying elastomeric. If the wall reads above 15% behind the surface, we dry the cavity first, repair the source, then coat. Painting elastomeric over a wet wall guarantees blistering within a single rainy season.
Wood fascia, soffit returns, and lanai cage frames on Tarpon Point and Yacht Club homes corrode and rot from the canal side first. We don't paint over rusted nail heads, soft fascia, or cupped trim — we replace the failed material with PVC trim or pressure-treated wood, then seal end-grain with an oil-based primer before topcoat. Pressure washing on a canal-front home uses fresh water specifically to lift salt deposits off the surface. Skip that step and the topcoat won't bond chemically with the substrate, and you'll see early failure on the south and west elevations within two summers.
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+ if the prep was clean. We tell homeowners this upfront because color choice is part of the warranty calculus. Sherwin-Williams Loxon XP and Benjamin Moore Aura Exterior are the two systems we spec most for Cape Coral CBS stucco — both rated for our humidity load, both with formulated mildewcide that matters once you cross Cape Coral Bridge into salt-air territory.
The painted finish on a Cape Coral home is half coating and half prep. We pressure-wash with fresh water, repair the spalling stucco patches, prime the bare substrate, and apply a system rated for the wall it's going on — not whatever was on sale that month. That's why our exterior repaints in Sandoval and Coral Lakes are still holding up clean five and seven years out.
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 Cape Coral exterior painting crew dispatches across the full city — from Cape Harbour, Tarpon Point, Pelican, Burnt Store, Sandoval, Trafalgar Woods, Hancock Bridge, Yacht Club, Rose Garden, Coral Lakes, covering ZIP codes 33904, 33909, 33914, 33990, 33991, 33993. Substrate prep differs across Cape Coral's build mix — CBS stucco, wood-frame, EIFS all need different priming.
Cape Coral insurance carriers we work with: Citizens Property Insurance, FEMA Flood Zones AE/X/VE, NFIP claims, Florida Peninsula, Tower Hill. 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:
For coastal exposures in 33914 and 33904 we specify Sherwin-Williams Loxon XP or an equivalent high-build acrylic over properly prepped stucco. Loxon XP bridges hairline cracks up to 1/16 inch, breathes enough to let entrained slab moisture escape, and resists chloride uptake from salt-laden air off the canals. For walls with active hydrostatic pressure — common on west-facing Cape Harbour elevations — we step up to an elastomeric like Loxon 100% Acrylic Elastomeric at 10–14 mils dry. Before any coating goes on, the substrate has to read below 16% MC on a Tramex moisture meter and pH below 10, or the paint fails inside 18 months.
On a properly prepped stucco home in Tarpon Point or Cape Harbour, a quality acrylic system should hold 8–12 years on north and east elevations and 6–8 years on south and west elevations that take direct sun and salt spray off the canal. Elastomeric systems push that to 10–15 years on the protected sides. Failure shows up first as chalking on south walls, then color fade, then hairline checking. The single biggest determinant isn't the paint brand — it's whether the previous coating was fully addressed (pressure wash, scrape, prime bare stucco with Loxon Conditioner) before recoating. Skipping prep cuts the lifespan in half.
Yes. Sandoval, Coral Lakes, Trafalgar Woods, and most deed-restricted Cape Coral communities require Architectural Review Board (ARB) approval for any exterior color change, and several require ARB sign-off even for repaints in the existing color. The application usually wants a color sample board, body/trim/accent breakdown, and sometimes a neighbor-notification step. We handle the ARB packet — Sherwin-Williams or Benjamin Moore color codes, drawdowns, and a written scope — so the homeowner isn't bouncing between the painter and the board. Painting without approval can trigger a fine and a forced repaint to the prior color, which we've seen happen in Sandoval.
Yes, but the repair method depends on crack type. True hairline shrinkage cracks (under 1/32 inch, not opening seasonally) can be bridged by a properly applied elastomeric or Loxon XP at full mil thickness. Cracks 1/32 to 1/8 inch need to be routed out, cleaned, and filled with a polyurethane or acrylic sealant before coating. Structural cracks — diagonal, stair-step, or wider than 1/8 inch — usually indicate movement at openings, settlement, or rebar issues and need investigation before any paint goes on. We pull a Tramex reading at every crack first to rule out active moisture intrusion, common on the canal-facing walls in Yacht Club and Rose Garden.
Aggressive enough to remove chalk, salt, and biological growth; not aggressive enough to erode the stucco surface or drive water into the wall assembly. We use 1,500–2,500 PSI with a 25-degree tip held 12–18 inches off the surface, plus a sodium hypochlorite or biocide solution for mildew typical in shaded Pelican and Four Mile Cove Preserve elevations. Then a clean-water rinse and a minimum 48-hour dry, verified by Tramex reading below 16% MC, before primer goes on. Common mistake: using a turbo nozzle close in, which gouges the finish coat and creates a visible halo under fresh paint that no amount of topcoat will hide.
