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.
Punta Gorda's historic downtown has color-preservation requirements; Punta Gorda Isles waterfront is salt-air exposed and needs premium acrylic systems. Burnt Store Meadows and Burnt Store Marina developments have HOA color palettes.
Our Punta Gorda crew works across the full city — from Fishermen's Village, Gilchrist Park, Punta Gorda History Park, Charlotte Harbor Event Center, Burnt Store Marina — and we're familiar with how exterior painting scope changes between Punta Gorda Isles and Burnt Store Isles.
Punta Gorda disaster history: Hurricane Ian (2022 — Cat 4 eye-wall), Hurricane Charley (2004 — Cat 4 direct hit), Hurricane Irma (2017). Stucco patching from prior storm damage often needs primer + texture matching before repaint.
Standard acrylic latex chalks, fades, and peels in eighteen months on a Punta Gorda exterior. That's not a paint defect — it's the environment. UV index climbs past 11 on south and west elevations eight months a year, salt aerosol settles continuously on any wall facing the Peace River or Charlotte Harbor, and CBS stucco substrates expand and contract through a 35-to-40-degree daily swing. A coating system here has to handle all three or it fails inside two summers. Punta Gorda Isles homes that hold paint for 10-12 years use elastomeric or high-build acrylic over correctly prepped stucco. Anything less doesn't.
Sherwin-Williams Loxon XP and Benjamin Moore Aura Exterior are the two systems we specify most for Punta Gorda Isles and Burnt Store Isles waterfront walls. Both carry mildewcide formulated for our humidity load and both bond to CBS stucco when the prep is right. High-build elastomeric (8-12 mils dry) bridges hairline cracks in 1970s and 1980s stucco around the older Punta Gorda downtown grid — but it also vapor-locks a wall, which is fine on a dry envelope and a disaster on a wall holding cavity moisture. We Tramex-meter the stucco before specifying elastomeric. Above 15% subsurface moisture, the wall dries first, then coats.
Punta Gorda Isles, Burnt Store Isles, and Burnt Store Marina all run architectural review boards with approved color palettes and trim rules. We submit the color package alongside the prep specification before any pressure-washing begins — the review cycle adds two to four weeks if it gets sequenced wrong. Historic downtown homes near Fishermen's Village and the History Park district fall under a different overlay with stricter color and trim guidance. We know which board approves which finish on first submission, which saves the homeowner a second-round revision and a delayed start date.
Deep reds and dark blues hold roughly 5-7 years on a Punta Gorda exterior. Mid-tone earth colors hold 8-10. Premium acrylic in light neutrals can stretch to 12-plus if the prep was clean and the elevations got correct primer. Canal-front south and west walls fade fastest because they take direct UV plus continuous salt aerosol off the harbor. We tell homeowners this upfront because color choice is part of the warranty math — a Loxon XP system in a deep navy on a canal-front wall isn't the same expected service life as the same system in a warm beige.
The finish on a Punta Gorda exterior is half coating, half preparation. We pressure-wash with fresh water specifically to lift chloride deposits off the surface, repair spalling stucco patches and rusted fasteners before priming, prime bare substrate with an alkali-resistant masonry primer, and apply a system rated for the wall it's going on. That sequence is why our exterior repaints in Punta Gorda Isles and Burnt Store Marina are still holding clean five and seven years out.
Full-pressure wash removes salt deposits, mildew, and chalking paint. Stucco cracks repaired and primed before paint.

Our Punta Gorda exterior painting crew dispatches across the full city — from Punta Gorda Isles, Burnt Store Isles, Burnt Store Marina, Historic District, Babcock Ranch (north edge), Charlotte Harbor, Tropical Gulf Acres, covering ZIP codes 33950, 33982. Substrate prep differs across Punta Gorda's build mix — CBS stucco, wood-frame, EIFS all need different priming.
Punta Gorda insurance carriers we work with: Citizens Property, FEMA, historic-district preservation requirements. 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 Punta Gorda →On PGI canal-front exposure we specify Sherwin-Williams Loxon XP or an equivalent high-build elastomeric over a Loxon masonry conditioner. The elastomeric bridges hairline stucco cracks, and the high-build film resists chloride-laden salt aerosol coming off the canal. Standard 100% acrylic flat fails early on these elevations, usually showing chalking and adhesion loss within 3 to 4 years on the canal-facing wall. Loxon XP, applied at manufacturer mil thickness and back-rolled into the texture, typically holds 8 to 10 years before the canal-side elevation needs recoat.
Punta Gorda Isles and several BSI sections enforce architectural review with approved color palettes. Before any prep, we pull the current palette PDF from the HOA, confirm your selection in writing with the architectural review committee, and document the approval in our file. Body, trim, and accent each get a separate ARC sign-off. We then drawdown samples on the actual stucco at three elevations, including a canal-facing wall, since UV and salt shift perceived color. Final approval signature is obtained before we open a single five-gallon.
Two factors stack on the canal elevation. First, BSI canals run roughly north-south, so canal-facing walls take direct afternoon and evening UV at a low sun angle, which accelerates pigment degradation, especially in reds, yellows, and dark earth tones. Second, salt aerosol etches the topcoat, exposing pigment to oxidation. The street side gets neither at the same intensity. Specifying titanium-dioxide-stabilized colors and UV-resistant tints, plus an elastomeric topcoat rated for ASTM D4585 condensation resistance, narrows the gap between elevations significantly.
We test with a Tramex Moisture Encounter Plus across the elevation in a grid pattern. Stucco needs to read below 4% on the relative scale before we prime, and below 2% before topcoat. After a typical Punta Gorda August, even shaded walls can read 6 to 8% for several days after rain stops. We also check pH with a strip; fresh or repaired stucco above pH 10 will saponify acrylic binders and cause early failure. We wait for pH below 10 and moisture below threshold, not the calendar.
Yes, with some caveats. We take a chip from a protected area, usually under a soffit or behind a downspout where UV exposure is minimal, and run it through a spectrophotometer at a major paint dealer. The match is to the original color, not the faded current color. We then drawdown a sample at two elevations to confirm visual acceptance under PGI sun. If you want the house to match how it looks today rather than original, we sample from a sun-exposed wall instead and note that choice in your file so future touch-ups go correctly.
