Exterior Painting in St. Augustine, FL
Exterior House Painting in St. Augustine, FL
Your home's exterior paint does more than define its appearance. It is the first line of defense against sun, rain, humidity, salt air, and the mold and mildew that thrive in Northeast Florida's subtropical climate. A properly prepared and painted exterior protects your siding, trim, and structural elements from moisture damage and decay.
Ashore Painting provides full exterior painting services for homes throughout the St. Augustine area. We handle everything from surface preparation and repairs to primer application and finish coats, using paints and coatings designed to perform in coastal Florida conditions.
What We Paint
We paint exterior siding (wood, stucco, HardiPlank, vinyl, and aluminum), fascia and soffit, exterior trim, shutters, front doors, garage doors, fences, and pergolas. We work with the materials common to St. Augustine homes and select products accordingly.
Surface Preparation Is Everything
In a coastal environment like St. Augustine, exterior paint failure almost always traces back to inadequate preparation. Salt air deposits, mold, mildew, chalking old paint, and moisture all need to be addressed before a single coat of paint goes on. We pressure wash surfaces, scrape loose or failing paint, repair damaged wood or stucco, prime bare surfaces, and caulk gaps and joints. This preparation is the foundation of an exterior paint job that holds up.
Paint Selection for Coastal Florida
Not all exterior paints perform equally in salt air and high humidity. We use 100% acrylic latex paints with mold and mildew resistance built in, UV-stable pigments that resist fading, and formulations designed for the expansion and contraction that Florida's temperature swings demand. We recommend specific products based on your home's siding material and exposure.
When to Repaint Your Exterior
In St. Augustine, most homes need exterior repainting every 5 to 7 years, depending on sun exposure, proximity to the coast, and the quality of the previous paint job. Signs it is time include fading, chalking (a powdery residue on the surface), peeling, cracking, or visible mold and mildew growth that cleaning cannot resolve.
