The Challenge of Florida Weather

Painting a home in Florida is unlike anywhere else in the country.
Between intense UV rays, high humidity, and unpredictable storms, ordinary paints simply don’t hold up. Homeowners in Orlando, Daytona Beach, and Central Florida often find themselves repainting every few years due to fading, chalking, and mildew.

That’s why choosing the right outdoor paint product is critical for both protection and long-term savings.

1. Acrylic Elastomeric Coatings – Longest Lasting Protection

If you want a paint that truly stands the test of Florida weather, elastomeric coatings are your best option.
These high-build coatings create a flexible, waterproof barrier that seals cracks and resists wind-driven rain.

Benefits include:

• Expands and contracts with your home’s surface

• Resists mildew, cracking, and chalking

• Ideal for stucco and masonry

• Can last up to 20 years with minimal maintenance

Our top pick? The Tex-Cote® Coolwall® System, which combines elastomeric protection with heat-reflective technology.

2. 100% Acrylic Latex Paint – The Versatile Favorite

Acrylic latex paints remain a go-to choice for Florida homeowners because of their affordability, easy cleanup, and UV resistance.
They’re excellent for siding, trim, and wood surfaces — and when paired with proper priming, they offer great adhesion and fade resistance.

Top Brands for Florida Weather:

• Sherwin-Williams SuperPaint® – Great for color retention

• Behr Premium Plus Ultra® – Built-in primer with mildew resistance

• Benjamin Moore Aura® Exterior – High-build paint that withstands harsh sun

3. Ceramic Coatings – Reflect Heat & Stay Clean Longer

Ceramic coatings are gaining popularity in Orlando for their heat-reflective and self-cleaning properties.
These coatings contain tiny ceramic microspheres that deflect UV radiation and make your home’s surface cooler to the touch.

Why homeowners love ceramic coatings:

• Reduce surface temperature by up to 30°F

• Minimize fading from sun exposure

• Dirt- and mildew-resistant

• Available in beautiful color options for modern homes

4. Waterproof Sealants for Driveways & Roofs

It’s not just your walls that need protection. Florida’s heavy rain can wreak havoc on driveways, patios, and flat roofs.
That’s where waterproof sealants come in.

6. Proper Surface Preparation Makes All the Difference

Even the best paint can fail if the surface isn’t properly prepared.
Our Orlando painting team always ensures:

• Pressure washing and surface cleaning

• Repairing cracks and caulking gaps

• Applying bonding primer for strong adhesion

A strong foundation means your paint will last years longer, even under Florida’s toughest conditions.

7. Choosing the Right Paint Finish

Florida humidity demands specific finishes:

• Satin or Semi-Gloss: Great for trim and moisture-prone areas

• Flat or Matte: Best for stucco, hides surface imperfections

• Gloss: Durable but should be used sparingly for accents

We help homeowners select the best finish based on their home’s material, sunlight exposure, and location.
