Hobe Sound is one of those towns where you can tell people care about their homes. Quiet streets, mature trees, and properties that have been looked after for decades. That's exactly the kind of work I like to do. I'm Martin, the owner of Pineapple Cove Painting Company, I live in Palm City just up the road, and I'm on site for every project from the first pressure wash to the final walkthrough.
Hobe Sound sits at the south end of Martin County, tucked between the Intracoastal and miles of preserve, and the housing reflects it. You've got established neighborhoods full of block and stucco homes from the seventies, eighties, and nineties, and then premium coastal properties closer to the water where the finishes and the expectations both run higher. I paint both, and the approach changes with the house.
The older homes here are where prep really earns its keep. A lot of them still carry original wood fascia, soffits, and trim, and after decades of hard sun and salt air that wood needs honest attention: scraping back the failing paint, sanding to a sound edge, priming bare spots, and fresh caulk at every joint before a drop of finish goes on. Rushing that step is how a repaint looks great in month one and starts peeling by year two.
The other thing I take seriously in Hobe Sound is how the work happens, not just how it turns out. This is a quiet town and people care deeply about how their property is treated. My crew is small, I'm on site with them, the landscaping and walkways get covered before we start, the music stays off, and the site gets picked up every single evening. When we leave, the only evidence we were there is the paint.
No tiers, no add-ons for the basics. This is the standard on every home, at every price.
Salt film and mildew come off first, so the paint bonds to a clean wall instead of what was sitting on it.
Failing paint scraped and sanded, bare wood and stucco primed, and fresh caulk at seams, joints, and window perimeters.
Emerald or Duration, two full coats on every wall. Never a coat and a touch-up.
Landscaping, roof lines, and walkways covered before we start, site picked up every evening, and a final walkthrough together before you pay.
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 in Hobe Sound: overall size and wall area, how much hand-prep the older wood trim needs, the number of accent colors, and your paint choice. 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.
No sales rep, no rotating crews. The person who quotes your Hobe Sound home is the person standing on it while it's painted.
It changes almost everything. Salt carried in off the Intracoastal and the ocean chalks and corrodes cheaper coatings within a couple of years, so in Hobe Sound I only use Sherwin-Williams Emerald or Duration, both rated for coastal exposure. Just as important, every exterior gets a full pressure wash and mildew treatment first, because paint applied over salt film and mildew fails no matter how good the paint is.
Yes, and I treat them the way I would want my own home treated. I am the owner and I am on site every day, the crew is small and careful, landscaping and hardscape get fully protected, and the site is picked up every evening. If your home has architectural review or HOA color approval, I handle that paperwork as part of the job. The free walk-through is where we go over the details of your specific home together.
Not far at all. I am based in Palm City, a straight run up US-1, about twenty minutes door to door. Hobe Sound is inside my normal weekly routes, so scheduling your walk-through is easy and I am close by during the project and after it, if you ever need a touch-up.
Every home in Hobe Sound is different, so I price each project exactly at a free in-home walk-through. Size, one story or two, and how much scraping, sanding, and priming the older trim needs all factor in, along with your paint choice. You get a written estimate on paper, by text, or by email, and it holds for 30 days.
