"Most paint failures on Florida homes aren't a paint-quality problem — they're a prep problem. Stucco is porous and needs specific primers, and skipping that step is why so many exterior jobs fail within 2-3 years instead of lasting 7-10. We also prepare the full HOA submittal package up front so approval isn't the thing holding your project back."

Florida Painting Questions — Answered by a Licensed GC

Stucco exterior painting in Florida typically runs $2-$5.50 per square foot depending on prep needed and paint quality. Full breakdown in our Painting Cost guide.
Yes, if that authority is included in your HOA's governing documents (CC&Rs), which is standard in most Florida communities. Most require written ARB/ARC approval before you paint, with submission of manufacturer, color code, sheen, and sometimes LRV. Full process in our HOA Approval guide.
A 100% acrylic elastomeric paint is the entry-level standard for Florida stucco — it stays flexible as stucco moves with heat and humidity, resists mildew, and holds up to UV better than standard latex. Full detail in our Best Paint for Florida Heat guide.
Stucco is porous and soaks up significantly more paint than siding, and it requires specialized primers to handle Florida's moisture levels — both add material and labor cost. Full comparison in our Stucco vs. Siding guide.
