Exterior House Painting
Older bayfront and mid-century exteriors need regular repainting in this climate. We wash, treat mildew, repair wood and stucco, then apply finishes suited to each wall's exposure to sun, shade or bay air.
Read moreIndian Beach Sapphire Shores runs along the bay in north Sarasota, with older bayfront homes and mid-century houses that need painters who respect their age and design.

This is one of the quieter corners of the city, with winding streets, big trees and homes that have stood for decades. Some face the bay directly, others sit a few blocks back, but nearly all of them show the effects of salt air and shade. Our work here leans toward careful exterior repaints: washing away mildew, scraping and priming tired wood trim, fixing stucco cracks and resetting caulk before the finish coats go on.
Mid-century houses in the neighborhood bring their own priorities. Flat or low-pitched roofs, long horizontal lines, clerestory windows and exposed beams look best with clean edges and colors that suit the design. We take extra care at fascia boards and beam ends, where water tends to sit. Inside, owners often ask us to repaint whole rooms in calm, light colors, refinish built-in cabinets and update interior doors while keeping the original character of the house intact.
Housing here is mostly single-family, built over many decades. Along the water and on the streets nearby, you see older bayfront homes, some dating back to the early twentieth century, many renovated over the years. There are also numerous mid-century houses, a few with the flat roofs, wide glass and simple shapes associated with the Sarasota School of Architecture. Newer homes have filled in some lots, but much of the neighborhood still reads as established, well-kept and individual from one house to the next.
Older houses often have wood siding or wood trim over block, with paint layers that have built up across many owners. Mid-century homes tend to be block or stucco with wood fascia, beams and soffits. Both styles share the same weak points: fascia and beam ends that hold water, window sills that soften, and stucco that cracks around openings. We probe suspect wood during the walk-through and include repairs in the plan, so the new paint goes onto solid, dry material that will hold it.
Bayfront lots here take salt air and steady breezes off the water, while inland streets sit under heavy tree cover that keeps walls damp. That combination brings both corrosion and mildew to the same house. Summer storms add wind-driven rain on water-facing walls. We wash with mildew treatment, rinse thoroughly, repair wood and stucco, and pick coatings by exposure: breathable acrylics on shaded walls and tougher coastal finishes on the sides that face the bay.

Read moreFrom our office at 1590 Fruitville Rd, crews head north on US-41 along the bay, past the Rosemary District, and turn toward the water into the neighborhood. It is a short, direct drive, which makes it easy to return for punch-list work or a second look after rain.
Yes. Many mid-century houses here have flat roofs, exposed beams and large windows. We repair fascia and beam ends, caulk around glass carefully, and keep lines clean along long horizontal edges. We also help owners choose colors that suit the design, whether they want to stay close to the original look or update it with care.
We clean affected areas with a mildew treatment, rinse thoroughly and let the walls dry completely before any paint goes on. Then we use a paint with mildew-resistant additives on the shaded sides. Trimming branches away from the walls and keeping gutters clear also helps the new finish stay clean longer.
We can. We patch plaster and old drywall carefully, keep original trim and doors, and brush fine woodwork rather than spraying it. We help choose colors and sheens suited to an older house, so rooms feel fresh without looking like a new build. Original built-ins and cabinets can be repainted rather than replaced.
