Coatings That Survive the Coast

Exterior Painting Made for the Florida Climate

Exterior paint in Southwest Florida works hard. Sun, humidity, salt air, and heavy rain can fade color, lift paint, and feed mildew faster than in most places. When the prep is skipped, the finish does not last. Pescado Painting takes the long view. We are locally owned, and we wash, repair, and seal the surfaces before we paint, then use Sherwin-Williams coatings matched to each surface. The result is protection and curb appeal that hold. There is no deposit, and you pay only after the job is done and you have walked the property with us.

Outside Your Home, Built to Last

Exterior Surfaces We Paint

Every surface on the outside of your home takes a beating from the Florida sun, salt air, and seasonal storms. We paint and prep everything from the street: siding, stucco, trim, doors, gutters, fascia, and more. Click any surface below to learn what we do and why it matters.

Your front door is the first thing guests and buyers notice. We clean, sand, and prep it, then apply a coating suited to the door material so the color stays rich and even. Prep and product matter most here, since doors take direct sun and constant use. Front doors are included when listed in your estimate.

Garage doors face the street and take full sun all day, so faded or chalky doors stand out. We clean and prep the surface, then paint it with a coating matched to the material for an even, durable finish. Garage doors are commonly part of an exterior repaint when included in your scope.

Trim, soffits, and fascia frame your home and protect its edges from weather. We prep these surfaces, address failing caulk, and coat them for a clean, consistent line against the body color. These are smooth surfaces, so they may be sprayed, brushed, or rolled depending on the area and conditions.

Gutters and downspouts are easy to overlook, but mismatched or weathered ones make a fresh paint job look unfinished. We clean and coat them to match your scheme. When needed, we remove downspouts to paint behind them, then reinstall them once the surface is dry.

Most Southwest Florida homes are stucco over block, and stucco needs the right approach. We repair cracks with elastomeric patching, seal chalky areas with a conditioning primer, then spray and back-roll so the coating works into the texture. This is what gives stucco even coverage that stands up to the climate.

Clean surfaces are the foundation of a lasting exterior finish, so washing is built into every exterior job. We pressure wash or soft wash to remove dirt, mildew, chalk, and loose material before any paint goes on. Power washing is included with your exterior project, not sold as a standalone service.

Your Whole Exterior

Your Whole Exterior, One Accountable Team

From wash to final walkthrough, we handle the entire exterior: prepping and repairing surfaces, protecting your landscaping and windows, and applying durable coatings to the body, trim, doors, and metal. We confirm every color and surface up front, so you know exactly what is included. One local team owns the result from start to finish.

Nine Steps, Wash to Walkthrough

Our Exterior Painting Process

Every exterior project follows the same nine steps, in order, with nothing skipped. Here is exactly how yours goes from the first wash to the final walkthrough.
  1. Pre-job walkthrough and scope confirmation. Before we start, we review the full exterior with you and confirm body color, trim, front door, garage door, gutters, soffits, fascia, downspouts, lanai ceilings, and any other surfaces in your estimate. We also flag existing issues like chalking, cracks, peeling, failing caulk, or damaged stucco.
  2. Site preparation. We move what we can and protect plants, pavers, windows, doors, fixtures, pool equipment, and screens. Where needed, we trench around the base of the home so the paint can go slightly below the soil line for a cleaner, more complete finish.
  3. Washing and cleaning. We pressure-wash or soft-wash, depending on the surface, to remove dirt, mildew, chalky residue, loose paint, and other contaminants. In our climate, where heat, humidity, mildew, and salt air all attack a finish, this is one of the most important steps for adhesion.
  4. Scraping, sanding, and surface prep. Once the home is washed and dry, we scrape and sand off loose or failing paint, repair stucco cracks with elastomeric patching where in scope, and address old or failing caulk around windows, doors, and trim joints.
  5. Priming and sealing. If the existing paint is chalky or porous, we apply a chalk-sealing primer or conditioner to lock down the surface and create a sound foundation for the finish coat. Bare and patched areas are spot-primed as needed, based on your home’s condition.
  6. Masking and protection. Before spraying, we mask windows, doors, light fixtures, pavers, screens, pool equipment, and plants. On exteriors, this step is critical to keeping overspray and paint off all surrounding surfaces.
  7. Paint application. We apply the finish coat by spraying and back-rolling the stucco so the coating works into the texture for full coverage. Smooth surfaces like gutters, soffits, fascia, garage doors, front doors, and metal are sprayed, brushed, or rolled to suit the surface and conditions.
  8. Detail work and touch-ups. We inspect the home for coverage, clean lines, and missed areas, and complete touch-ups. Downspouts and any items we removed have been reinstalled, and masking has been carefully pulled.
  9. Final cleanup and walkthrough. We clean the jobsite, remove trash and masking, put items back where we agreed, and walk the finished exterior with you before the job is considered complete.

Our Professional Painting FAQs

Most exterior projects take a few days, depending on the size of your home, the amount of prep, the weather, and the scope. Larger or more detailed homes take longer. We give you a general timeline before we begin and keep you updated if rain or conditions shift the schedule.

Yes. Every exterior project starts with cleaning. Depending on the surface, we pressure wash or soft wash to remove dirt, mildew, chalk, and loose material. In our climate this step is essential, because paint applied over a dirty or chalky surface will not bond or last.

We repair typical stucco cracks with elastomeric patching material when it is included in your scope. We blend repairs as closely as we can, but patched areas can still be slightly visible depending on the existing texture. Smooth stucco shows repairs more than heavily textured stucco. We are honest about this up front.

It means we spray the coating onto the stucco, then immediately roll over it. Rolling works the paint into the texture and pushes it into the pores, which gives more even coverage and better adhesion on porous surfaces than spraying alone. It is a standard step for durable stucco finishes.

Yes, when they are included in your estimate. We often paint gutters, soffits, fascia, downspouts, garage doors, and front doors as part of an exterior project. Matching these details to the rest of the home is what makes a repaint look complete rather than patchy.

We watch the forecast closely. If rain or storms would affect the finish or make the work unsafe, we adjust the schedule. We would rather reschedule a day than rush and risk the paint not curing properly. We keep you posted whenever weather changes the plan.

Not directly. Mildew has to be cleaned and treated first, or it will bleed through and cause adhesion problems. Chalky stucco needs a conditioning primer to lock down the surface before the finish coat. We handle both as part of proper prep, so the new paint bonds and lasts.

Yes. We can provide the information your HOA needs for approval, including color names, product details, and the scope of work. Many Southwest Florida communities require this before you paint, so we help you put the documentation together to keep your project on track.

With proper prep and the right product, an exterior repaint can last many years in our climate. Longevity depends on the product you choose and on sun and weather exposure. Sherwin-Williams exterior coatings carry a manufacturer warranty against peeling and bubbling, from 2 years on SuperPaint up to 5 years on Emerald.
