I'm Martin, owner of Pineapple Cove Painting Company. I'm based in Palm City, a short drive down I-95, and Tradition is a regular part of my week. It's also one of the easiest places on the Treasure Coast to get a repaint wrong: nearly every neighborhood has an association, an approved palette, and an architectural review process. So we confirm your color against your community's approved palette before a single gallon is ordered, and I manage the job from the first coat to the final walkthrough.
Most of Tradition went up from the mid-2000s onward: concrete block and stucco homes in master-planned neighborhoods like The Lakes at Tradition, Bedford Park, Victoria Parc, Town Park, Manderlie, and Cadence, plus the 55-plus communities, Vitalia, Del Webb, LakePark, and Telaro. Beautiful streets, consistent look, and one quiet problem. Many of these homes are still wearing their original builder coat, and a builder coat is built to pass a closing, not to survive fifteen years of western Port St. Lucie sun.
By this point the signs show up on schedule. Chalky residue when you brush a hand across the stucco. South and west walls a full shade lighter than the rest of the house. Hairline cracks where the slab settled, and caulk lines pulling away at the windows. On lake and preserve lots there's no tree cover to slow any of it down.
The fix is the same careful process every time: full pressure wash, scrape and sand what's failing, fresh caulk, spot-prime the bare spots, and two full coats of Sherwin-Williams rated for Florida sun. And because this is Tradition, the color gets confirmed against your community's approved palette before any paint is ordered, so the finished house makes the HOA happy too.
The prep is the job. Here's what comes standard on every project, at every price.
Paint bonds to clean walls, not chalk and grime. Every exterior starts here.
Failing paint comes off, bare stucco and wood get primed, so the finish coats grip evenly.
Keeps Florida rain out of your walls, which matters more here than almost anywhere.
Emerald or Duration, rated for coastal sun. Not a coat and a touch-up. Two coats, always.
Plants, pool decks, and walkways covered and masked before any paint moves.
The job isn't done until we walk the whole thing together and you're happy.
Every project is priced exactly at a free walk-through. A villa prices differently than a two-story on a lake lot, and what you choose on the quote is the paint system.
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, villa or two-story single-family, how much prep the surface 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.
And every repaint is backed in writing: a 5-year workmanship warranty. If peeling or blistering shows up because of our prep or application, we repair it at no charge.
No sales rep, no rotating crews. When you book a walk-through in Tradition, this is who you're dealing with.
Yes, this is normal for us. Nearly every neighborhood in Tradition runs its exterior colors through an association and an approved palette. We confirm your color against your community's approved palette before any paint is ordered, and make sure you have the details your HOA needs. Your repaint should never be the reason for a violation letter.
All of them. That includes the family neighborhoods like The Lakes at Tradition, Bedford Park, Victoria Parc, Town Park, Manderlie, and Cadence, and the 55-plus communities like Vitalia, Del Webb at Tradition, LakePark, and Telaro. If a gate needs notice for a walk-through, tell me when we book and I'll handle the rest.
Run your hand across the stucco on the sunny side of the house. If it comes back chalky, the coating is breaking down. Fading on south and west walls, hairline cracks, and gaps opening at the caulk lines are the other signs. Much of Tradition was built from the mid-2000s on, so a lot of homes are right in the window where the original coat is done protecting the stucco. A free walk-through will tell you honestly whether it's time or whether you can wait.
Every project is priced exactly at a free in-home walk-through. A villa or paired home prices differently than a two-story single-family on a lake lot, and prep condition and the number of colors factor in too. Full prep and two coats of Sherwin-Williams are included on every job, and the written estimate holds for 30 days.
Yes. Every repaint comes with a written 5-year workmanship warranty. If peeling, blistering, or paint failure shows up as a direct result of our surface preparation or application within five years of completion, I repair the affected area at no charge for labor and materials. It's written into your proposal before any work starts.
