Port St. Lucie homeowners do their homework, and I like that. Most of you are getting two or three exterior quotes, and the houses themselves are mostly newer stucco in communities with real HOA rules. I'm Martin, the owner of Pineapple Cove Painting Company. I handle the approval paperwork, I do the full prep even on newer walls, and I put every number in a written estimate that holds for 30 days, so comparing me to anyone is easy.
In Tradition, St. Lucie West, and the other planned communities, the first job on an exterior repaint is not paint at all. It is paperwork. These HOAs run approved palettes and architectural review boards, and getting a color wrong is an expensive way to learn the rules. I handle the approval letters, palette confirmations, and review submissions myself, before a gallon is ordered, so your project never stalls at the committee stage.
The houses themselves are mostly newer stucco over block, and newer does not mean maintenance-free. Builder-grade paint fades fast in this sun, and stucco keeps hairline-cracking as the slab settles through its first decade. So even on a home that looks fine from the street, I do the full prep: pressure wash and mildew treatment, fresh caulk on every settling crack and window perimeter, spot-prime, then two full coats of Sherwin-Williams. That is what resets the clock properly.
And because I know most PSL homeowners are comparing quotes, I make mine easy to compare. The walk-through is free, the estimate is exact and in writing, it holds for 30 days, and the paint ladder on it is simple: Good, Better, and Best systems separated by how many years of protection they buy you. Line it up against any other bid and check what prep they actually include.
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.
Yes. Approval letters, palette confirmations, and architectural review submissions are part of the job, and I file them before any paint is ordered. Port St. Lucie's planned communities take their palettes seriously, and handling that paperwork properly is part of the service.
Sooner than most people expect. Builder-grade paint is usually the thinnest, cheapest coating a house will ever wear, and stucco hairline-cracks as the slab settles through its first decade. A proper repaint seals those cracks with fresh caulk and puts two full coats of better paint on the walls, which is what actually protects the block underneath.
Usually it is the prep. A low bid often means a quick rinse and one heavy coat, and the difference shows up two summers later. My estimate spells out the full prep, the paint system by name, and the two coats, in writing, and it holds for 30 days so you can compare it calmly against anyone.
