Painters in Pensacola Beach, FL

Pensacola Beach is as hard on paint as anywhere we work. Salt spray, full sun and wind off the Gulf chalk and fade a coating in a few years, and anything metal rusts. Most houses are raised on pilings, with stucco or fiber-cement walls, big decks and a lot of railing and stair work.

What is different about working here

The prep is the job here. Every exterior is washed to get the salt off, mildew is treated, chalk is removed and bare or rusting metal is primed with the right primer before a premium exterior coating goes on. We use products made for coastal exposure and tell you which ones.

Decks, stairs and railings on the beach need staining or painting more often than the walls. We wash, brighten and seal the wood and use a marine-grade or exterior enamel on railings and metalwork.

Many beach homes are rentals, so we work to turnover dates and off-season windows, and we are used to the Santa Rosa Island Authority's rules on exterior colours for leaseholders.

Questions from Pensacola Beach

How long does exterior paint last on Pensacola Beach?

With proper prep and a coastal-grade coating, five to seven years. Skipping the wash or using a standard paint cuts that in half.

Can you paint during the rental season?

We can, around bookings, but the off season gives us dry weather and empty houses. Tell us your turnover dates and we will plan around them.

Do you handle the colour rules on the beach?

Yes. Leasehold properties on Santa Rosa Island have exterior colour guidelines; we can work from the approved palette and give you the names and codes to submit.

Do you paint railings and metalwork?

Yes. Rust is sanded back and primed with a rust-inhibiting primer before an exterior enamel. Aluminium and vinyl railings are cleaned rather than painted.
