Exterior painting

Exterior painting in St. Petersburg, FL

Exterior painting in St. Petersburg isn’t like exterior painting anywhere else. The combination of intense UV, salt air from Tampa Bay, and Florida’s seasonal humidity puts your paint through a beating that would destroy a standard job in two or three years.

We’ve learned exactly what it takes to make exterior paint last in this climate — and it starts long before the first coat goes on. Proper prep is everything. We pressure wash, scrape, caulk, and prime every surface before we paint. It’s the kind of detail work that most contractors skip, and it’s the reason our jobs hold up for years while cheaper ones start peeling in the first summer.

What makes exterior painting in St. Pete different

  • Salt air oxidizes paint faster — we select coatings rated for coastal exposure
  • Florida’s UV index is among the highest in the US — we use UV-stabilized finishes
  • Stucco is common in older St. Pete homes and requires specific preparation and elastomeric coatings
  • HOAs in neighborhoods like Coquina Key and Jungle Terrace require color approval before work begins — we help with this

Surfaces we paint

Wood siding, Hardie board, stucco, brick, vinyl, aluminum, fascia, soffits, shutters, doors, trim, fences, decks, and docks. If it’s outside your home in St. Petersburg, we can paint it.

5-year workmanship warranty

We stand behind every exterior job with a 5-year workmanship warranty — transferable to new owners if you sell your home. That’s how confident we are in the quality of our preparation and materials.

Exterior painting — St. Petersburg

Will you do a thorough walk-around inspection before AND after painting?
Yes — a formal pre-job walk-around is how we confirm scope, note existing damage, and align expectations. A post-job walk-around with you is required before we accept final payment. You should never have to find missed sections yourself after a painter has left.
All White Glove exterior jobs include two full coats unless the spec sheet for a specific product states otherwise — and we will tell you if that applies. One thin coat is a shortcut that leads to visible old color, early fading, and peeling. We do not take that shortcut.
We scrape, sand, and prime all peeling or flaking areas before any new paint goes on. Painting over old peel is the number one cause of premature failure. Our prep process is thorough because it is the foundation of a job that lasts.
Masking windows, doors, light fixtures, and hardscape borders is part of our standard process. Any accidental overspray is cleaned before we leave. We do a final inspection specifically checking glass, tile, and concrete surfaces.
We maintain our project schedule and communicate any weather-related delays directly to you. Your project will not simply stall for weeks with no explanation while our crew works other jobs. You will always know exactly where your job stands.
Yes — power washing is standard before every exterior job. We clean all surfaces to remove dirt, mildew, and chalking paint. The surface must be clean and dry before primer or paint is applied, or the new coat will not bond properly.
We provide color consultation as part of our estimate process, including digital color previews where available. We also do test patches on request before committing to a full color. You will not be surprised by how the color looks on your actual home.
Stucco requires specific primers and flexible paints that bridge hairline cracks. We assess your stucco condition during the estimate and recommend the right product system. We do not simply roll standard latex over bare or deteriorated stucco and call it done.
Our exterior work comes with a written labor warranty. If paint peels or fails due to a workmanship issue, we return and fix it. Peeling that occurs within the warranty period is our responsibility — not yours.

Every White Glove job ends with a full site cleanup. All drop cloths, masking materials, empty cans, and debris are removed the same day. We leave your property cleaner than we found it.
