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.
Lehigh Acres' tight community spacing and consistent 1990s-2010s build vintage mean painting scope across a single street is often similar. We can pre-order paint, schedule efficiently, and offer pricing advantages to neighbors who paint together.
Our Lehigh Acres crew works across the full city — from Veterans Park, Lehigh Senior High, Mirror Lakes Golf Club — and we're familiar with how exterior painting scope changes between Lehigh North and Lehigh South.
Lehigh Acres disaster history: Hurricane Ian (2022), Hurricane Irma (2017), repeated freshwater flooding. Stucco patching from prior storm damage often needs primer + texture matching before repaint.
Lehigh Acres has two exterior-painting markets running side by side. Owner-occupied homeowners want a 10-12 year finish that holds color. Single-family rental investors want a 5-7 year maintenance repaint between tenants that protects the asset on a tighter budget. Both jobs use different paint systems, different prep depth, and different warranty calculations - but both have to handle UV that hits index 11+ on south-facing walls eight months a year and a CBS stucco substrate that expands and contracts through a 40-degree daily swing.
The 1980s-2010s Lehigh Acres housing stock is overwhelmingly three-coat stucco over concrete block. Sherwin-Williams Loxon XP is the spec we run on most owner-occupied projects: high-build acrylic, 8-12 mils dry, bridges hairline cracks under 1/16 inch, and rated for the humidity and UV load this market sees. We moisture-test the stucco with a Tramex meter before we open the first can. If the wall reads above 15% behind the surface - common on the north elevation under a wide soffit, or on a wall next to a leaking gutter - we dry the cavity, repair the source, then coat. Loxon over a wet wall blisters within a single rainy season, and we won't put it on.
An investor's repaint cycle on a Lehigh Acres rental is about asset preservation, not color showcase. We spec a quality acrylic in a mid-tone neutral, pressure-wash to lift surface chalk and the inevitable boot-scuff and patio-furniture rub marks, spot-prime any bare patches with a stucco-bonding primer, and topcoat. The job runs $3,200-$5,800 on a typical 1,500-1,900 sq ft Lehigh CBS depending on prep depth and trim count. We work with portfolio investors who want batched scheduling - three or four units on the same block painted the same week - and the pricing reflects the route efficiency.
Deep reds and dark blues fade hard in 5-7 years on a Lehigh Acres exterior. Mid-tone earth colors hold 8-10. Premium acrylic in light neutrals - off-whites, soft grays, warm beiges - can hit 12+ if prep was clean. We tell homeowners this upfront because color choice is part of the warranty calculus. Lehigh Acres has no aggregated HOA with a master color palette across the city, but several smaller developments (Mirror Lakes, Lehigh Resort Club community) have CC&R color approval. We submit the chip and the spec sheet to the HOA in parallel with project setup so the approval doesn't gate the start date.
The finish on a Lehigh Acres exterior is half coating, half prep. Pressure-wash, repair the spalling stucco patches, prime bare substrate, apply a system rated for the wall it's going on. That's why our owner-occupied repaints in 33971 and 33974 are still holding five and seven years out, and why our rental-portfolio work for Lehigh Acres investors comes back as a re-up every cycle.
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 Lehigh Acres exterior painting crew dispatches across the full city — from Lehigh North, Lehigh South, Country Club, Eastwood, Mirror Lakes, Pinewood, Buckingham (border), covering ZIP codes 33971, 33972, 33973, 33974, 33976. Substrate prep differs across Lehigh Acres's build mix — CBS stucco, wood-frame, EIFS all need different priming.
Lehigh Acres insurance carriers we work with: Citizens, mixed carrier base; flood insurance important for lower-elevation sections. 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:
Investor-owned single-family rentals in Lehigh Acres typically run a 7-10 year exterior repaint cycle, faster than owner-occupied homes because of deferred maintenance during turnover gaps and tenant landscaping that scuffs the lower courses. South and west exposures along Sunshine Boulevard burn out faster from UV, sometimes needing partial repaints at year five. We recommend Loxon XP or equivalent elastomeric on CBS rentals because it bridges hairline cracks that develop in CBS substrates and stretches with thermal cycling. The product cost is higher than basic acrylic but the labor cost of the repaint dominates total expense, so spending up on coating pays back.
Lehigh Acres CBS construction develops hairline shrinkage and thermal-movement cracks across stucco surfaces over time, particularly on long uninterrupted wall planes facing south and west. Standard acrylic exterior paint bridges 1/64" maybe, but Loxon XP is a high-build elastomeric that bridges up to 1/16" cracking and remains flexible through the daily thermal cycle in 33971. It also breathes well enough to release moisture from the CBS substrate without blistering. The catch is surface prep: Loxon over a chalky or dirty wall fails fast, so the pressure-wash and prime step matters more than the coating itself.
For a typical 1,400-1,800 sf CBS single-story rental in 33972 or 33974, plan on a single-color exterior repaint with proper prep, two coats of quality acrylic or one coat of elastomeric, plus trim and soffit, running in a defined working-class market budget. Sherwin-Williams SuperPaint or equivalent is the practical product tier here, not premium lines, because the next investor will repaint in seven years anyway. We don't recommend cutting on the prep or the soffit work to save money. The body-of-house paint is the cheapest mistake to fix. Failed prep is the expensive one.
Exterior painting with tenants in place works for most Lehigh rentals as long as you coordinate window-coverage and brief the tenant on a few days of pressure washing and overspray restrictions. We block out vehicles, cover landscaping, and stage by elevation so the tenant always has one clear side of the house. We require 24-hour written notice to the tenant before pressure washing because of noise and water intrusion risk through screen tracks. For occupied painting near Veterans Park where homes sit close together, we also coordinate with neighbors about overspray drift.
Mildew and algae streaking are common on north-facing CBS walls in 33976 and look like staining, but they pressure-wash off cleanly with a sodium hypochlorite solution. Actual paint failure shows as chalking (color comes off on your hand when you wipe), peeling at edges and trim, or efflorescence (white salty deposits leaching through). If a soft-wash clean returns the color, you have a few more years. If you see chalking or peeling on the body of the house, especially south and west elevations near Lee Boulevard, you're past the repaint window and elastomeric is the right next step.
