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.
Fort Myers' McGregor Boulevard historic homes have specific paint requirements: many are subject to historic-preservation review and need pre-1950 color schemes. The Edison/Ford Winter Estates corridor also has shaded canopy that grows mildew on exteriors year-round — we use specifically mildewcide-loaded exterior systems on these jobs.
Our Fort Myers crew works across the full city — from Edison & Ford Winter Estates, Downtown River District, Centennial Park, JetBlue Park (Red Sox spring training), Bell Tower Shops, McGregor Boulevard — and we're familiar with how exterior painting scope changes between Downtown River District and McGregor Boulevard.
Fort Myers disaster history: Hurricane Ian (2022 — significant), Hurricane Irma (2017), historic 1926 Miami hurricane. Stucco patching from prior storm damage often needs primer + texture matching before repaint.
A repaint on a 1955 McGregor Boulevard estate is not a CBS recoat in Gateway. McGregor's historic-paint heritage — the original ocean-liner and tropical-Mediterranean palettes from the Edison-era expansion — sets buyer and HOA expectations that a stock SW or BM color deck does not satisfy. Add condo association architectural review on the river-district mid-rises and the inland 1990s-2000s HOA stock, and exterior painting in Fort Myers is a compliance project as much as a coating project. The wrong color spec triggers an ARB rejection that delays the calendar by 4-8 weeks.
We sample original paint in three locations per elevation on McGregor estates, send chips to a spectrophotometric color lab when the homeowner wants a true historic match, and reformulate to the closest period-appropriate tint within a current high-performance acrylic chemistry. The Edison & Ford Winter Estates preservation guidelines drive a lot of McGregor color decisions even on private homes — buyers expect the corridor to look the way it has since the 1950s. We document the matched formula in the file so the next touch-up in five years pulls the same blend, not a guess from a sun-faded sample.
High Point Place, Royal Park, Oasis Tower, and the Riviera complex on the river all run architectural review boards that approve color scheme, sheen, and any visible coating change before Lee County will accept the contractor onto the property. The Gateway, Pelican Preserve, and Cypress Lake HOAs run their own ARBs with their own review windows. We submit ARB packages — color chip, sheen spec, manufacturer system data sheet, application schedule — in parallel with project mobilization so the painting calendar moves at one rate, not two.
Most Fort Myers CBS stucco built between 1985 and 2010 gets Sherwin-Williams Loxon XP or a comparable high-build elastomeric (8-12 mils dry) — it bridges hairline cracks and stands up to the 70%+ summer humidity load. Wood siding and trim on McGregor estates and older Edison Park homes get a different system: oil-based primer on bare wood, premium acrylic topcoat with formulated mildewcide. We moisture-test the substrate with a Tramex meter before specifying elastomeric on stucco — above 15% internal moisture, the wall has to dry and the source has to be repaired first, or the topcoat blisters in one rainy season.
UV index over Fort Myers hits 11+ eight months a year, and color fade is part of the warranty calculus. Deep reds and dark blues hold five to seven years on a south or west elevation; mid-tone earth colors hold eight to ten; premium acrylic in historic light neutrals can hit twelve. Pressure-wash with fresh water to lift airborne salt off the substrate, repair the spalling stucco patches, prime the bare areas, and apply a system rated for the wall it's going on — that is how a Fort Myers repaint still reads clean at year seven.
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 Fort Myers exterior painting crew dispatches across the full city — from Downtown River District, McGregor Boulevard, Iona, San Carlos Park, Gateway, Whiskey Creek, Cypress Lake, College Parkway, Pelican Preserve, Edison Park, covering ZIP codes 33901, 33907, 33912, 33913, 33916, 33919, 33966, 33967. Substrate prep differs across Fort Myers's build mix — CBS stucco, wood-frame, EIFS all need different priming.
Fort Myers insurance carriers we work with: Citizens, full carrier mix; large insurance broker network in downtown. 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:
Original paint on McGregor Blvd estates from the 1950s is often a lead-based oil over a cement-stucco substrate that has been recoated three or four times over 70 years. We start with a spectrophotometer reading on a protected area, usually under an eave or behind a downspout, where UV fade is minimal. That reading is matched to a modern Sherwin-Williams or Benjamin Moore acrylic formula. If the home is documented historic in the McGregor corridor, we provide submittal samples on actual stucco coupons because the texture changes perceived color significantly versus a paint chip.
Most Fort Myers high-rises and gated communities near Bell Tower Shops require Architectural Review Board (ARB) approval before any color change, and many require approval even for in-kind repaints. We prepare a submittal that includes the manufacturer, product line, sheen, color codes, application sequence, and a 4x4-foot test patch on the actual building so the board reviews the color in Fort Myers sunlight, not a fluorescent-lit meeting room. The board's approval letter goes into our project file before mobilization, because removing non-approved paint is significantly more expensive than getting it right upfront.
Loxon XP is a high-build elastomeric from Sherwin-Williams that bridges hairline stucco cracks up to 1/16 inch and remains breathable enough for our humidity, which matters on the CMU-and-stucco walls common to Fort Myers homes near Centennial Park and McGregor Blvd. We specify it after a power wash, mildew treatment with sodium hypochlorite at a controlled dilution, and patching with a polymer-modified stucco patch. Two-coat application at the manufacturer's wet mil thickness is non-negotiable, because a single thin coat is the most common reason elastomeric coatings fail in Lee County within five years.
On a well-prepped Fort Myers home with a quality 100 percent acrylic over a properly sealed substrate, expect 8 to 12 years on shaded north and east elevations and 5 to 7 years on south and west elevations facing direct sun and salt-laden air, especially along McGregor Blvd near the Caloosahatchee. Dark colors fade first, then chalk. We document the system, color codes, and application date on a project sheet kept with the homeowner so the next repaint cycle can be specified accurately rather than guessed.
Yes, but the window is narrow. Manufacturer specs for acrylic and elastomeric coatings require substrate temperature between roughly 50 and 90 degrees, surface dryness, and no rain within 4 hours. In a Fort Myers July, that often means starting at 7 a.m. on east-facing walls and rotating around the house ahead of the daily 2 p.m. convective storms. We run a wet-bulb reading on site, not just an air temperature, and we stop work when dew point and surface temp converge, because painting through condensation is the leading cause of premature peeling here.
