Okaloosa County
Painters in Fort Walton Beach, FL
Fort Walton Beach is the far south-east of our area, where the Gulf, the Santa Rosa Sound and Hurlburt Field meet. Much of the housing is mid-century: concrete-block and brick ranches from the 1950s to 70s, with newer homes and condos out on Okaloosa Island and along the sound.

What is different about working here
Block houses are forgiving in some ways and unforgiving in others. The walls hold paint well once chalk and mildew are washed off and a masonry primer is down, but hairline cracks in the stucco skin must be sealed first or they telegraph through. We use a flexible, breathable coating on block and stucco.
The salt air off the Gulf shortens the life of any exterior coating; on the island and the sound, plan for a repaint every five to seven years rather than ten. Washing the salt off is the first day of every exterior job we do here.
Inside, Hurlburt families keep us busy with repaints before moves and sales, and the older kitchens have solid cabinets that refinish beautifully.

Questions from Fort Walton Beach
Do you paint concrete-block houses?
Yes. Block takes paint well once it is clean and primed. We seal cracks in the stucco skin and use a breathable masonry coating so moisture can get out.
Do you cover Okaloosa Island and Mary Esther?
Yes: Fort Walton Beach, Okaloosa Island, Mary Esther, Shalimar and Hurlburt-area housing off base.
How often should a house near the sound be repainted?
Every five to seven years with a quality coating and proper prep. Dark colours on sun-facing walls fade fastest.
Does the drive from Cantonment add to the price?
No. We group east-side jobs and estimates so travel never appears on your quote.
