Palm City sun does not go easy on paint. Our south and west walls fade years ahead of the shaded sides, and stucco drinks water through any gap in the caulk. I'm Martin, the owner of Pineapple Cove Painting Company, and Palm City is where I live. An exterior repaint from me means a full wash, fresh caulk on every joint, and two full coats of paint built to hold its color through full-afternoon Florida sun.
Most of Palm City is concrete block and stucco, and I paint it the way this town actually needs. On the CBS ranches off Mapp Road and Matheson, the exterior work usually starts with years of mildew shadow on the shaded walls and chalky, sun-tired stucco on the rest. That gets a full pressure wash and mildew treatment first, because paint sprayed over chalk peels no matter whose name is on the can. Then every seam, joint, and window perimeter gets fresh caulk before a drop of color goes up.
In the gated golf communities, the exterior itself is usually in decent shape and the real work is precision: crisp lines where stucco meets trim, banding and shutters cut in cleanly, and the HOA palette confirmed in writing before I order paint. I handle the color approval letters and architectural review paperwork myself, so you are never the house that has to redo a color.
Out west on the acreage and equestrian properties, there is simply more wall and more sun. Those homes sit wide open with no tree line or neighbor to shade them, so fade resistance is the whole ballgame. That is where I lean hardest on Sherwin-Williams Duration and Emerald, the two coatings in my ladder built to keep their color through full-day exposure, applied in two full coats like every exterior I paint.
Most exterior paint failures on this coast are prep failures. So the prep is the job. Here's what comes standard on every home, at every price.
Every exterior starts with a full wash so paint bonds to clean walls, not chalk and grime.
Peeling and flaking paint comes off down to a sound surface. New paint is only as good as what's under it.
Keeps Florida rain out of your walls, which matters more here than almost anywhere.
Bare spots get primed first so the finish coats grip evenly and cure to one uniform color.
Emerald or Duration, rated for coastal sun and salt air. Not a coat and a touch-up. Two coats, always.
Plants, roof lines, pool decks, and walkways get covered and masked before any paint moves.
The site gets picked up every evening, and the job isn't finished until we walk the exterior together and you're happy.
Every project is priced exactly at a free walk-through. What you choose on the quote is the paint system, and that decides how long the job lasts.
Sherwin-Williams SuperPaint. A proven coating and the honest budget choice. Same full prep and same two coats as every tier.
Sherwin-Williams Duration. The one most of my customers choose, because the extra years of protection usually make it the better value.
Sherwin-Williams Emerald. The top of the line, for when you want to paint the house once and not think about it for a long time.
What moves the price: overall size and wall area, one story or two, how much prep the surface needs, and the number of accent colors on shutters, doors, and trim. Your paint choice matters too. Every tier above gets the same prep and the same two coats, and I'll tell you plainly which one your walls actually need.
Every project is priced exactly after a free in-home walk-through, and your written estimate holds for 30 days. No pressure, no expiring "today only" number.
These are our projects, not stock photos. This is what the work actually looks like while it's happening.
A single-story CBS ranch typically runs four to six working days, prep through final walkthrough. Two-story golf-community homes run six to ten, and larger acreage properties depend on wall area. I live in Palm City, so you get a daily update from me in person, not a phone call from two counties over.
Yes. Palm City has some of the more particular HOAs and architectural review boards on the Treasure Coast, and I handle the paperwork properly: color approval letters, palette confirmations, and review submissions before any paint is ordered.
For homes with hard south and west exposure, especially the open acreage properties, I recommend Sherwin-Williams Duration or Emerald. They are the fade-resistant tiers on my quote, and every tier gets the same full prep and two coats. At the walk-through I'll tell you plainly which one your walls actually need.
