What Tampa does to paint
UV, daily summer rain and humidity that rarely drops break down paint here faster than in most of the country.
Sun and chalking
Tampa sits at a latitude where UV fades color and turns the surface of exterior paint to chalk within a few years. Rub a hand on a faded wall and it comes away white. That's the sign it's time.
Exterior paintingStucco and block
Most homes here are concrete block with a stucco skin. Hairline cracks are normal, but open cracks let the rainy season drive water behind the stucco, and paint alone won't hold it out.
Stucco repairMildew and shade
North walls, screened lanais and anything under an oak grow mildew. It has to be killed and washed off before paint, or it comes back through the new coat.
Pressure washingHumidity indoors
Bathrooms, laundry rooms and lanai-side walls hold moisture. The right primer and a finish that can be scrubbed keep interior paint looking new.

Common questions
How soon can you start?
Interior work is usually scheduled within a week or two of an approved quote. Exterior work depends on the weather and the season, and you'll get a start date and a finish date in writing.
Are your painters insured?
Painting work is performed by an insured local painting company. Florida does not issue a state license for painting, so insurance is the thing to ask any painter for, and you can request the certificate.
What's the best time of year to paint a house exterior in Tampa?
October through May. Summer afternoons bring rain almost daily and humidity slows curing. Exteriors can still be painted in summer, but the schedule works around the storms.
What areas do you serve?
Tampa and the surrounding communities in Hillsborough and Pasco counties. See the full service area list.
Do I need to move my furniture?
No. The crew moves furniture to the center of the room, covers it, and puts it back. Small and breakable items are easier if you clear them first.
