We use coastal-grade paint (elastomeric — flexible and waterproof) built to survive ocean-side homes. It's hurricane-rated — the same type required for any major work near the water. Licensed, $2M insured, 25+ years across Broward County.
Here's what most Plantation homeowners don't realize: Salt air, brutal sun, and humidity destroy regular paint on Plantation homes. A paint job that holds up for 8 years inland can start peeling here in just 2 to 3 years.

💡 What we learned in 25 years: The trick is the prep, not the paint. Most failed jobs we get hired to replace skipped this step.
We've worked across Plantation's neighborhoods for over 25 years. Each area has its quirks:
Plantation isn't a typical inland city — and painting here isn't typical either. Here's what we watch for:
In Jacaranda, tree-lined, golf course, family-friendly, homes from 1972+. We've handled the salt-air corrosion and hurricane prep that homes here demand — coastal-grade paint and elastomeric sealants are non-negotiable for surviving 5+ years here.
In Plantation Acres, large lots, rural feel, equestrian-friendly. Coastal exposure means standard exterior paint fails in 2-3 years here — we use elastomeric coatings that flex with humidity swings and resist UV at this latitude.
In Pine Island Ridge, established homes with natural areas. Most exterior failures we see in this area trace to one root cause: contractors who skipped surface prep for salt deposits. We power-rinse, neutralize, then prime — extra day, decade longer paint life.
South Florida runs at 60-80% relative humidity year-round, with hurricane season (June through November) bringing wind-driven rain that finds every weak point in exterior coatings. Salt air from the coast accelerates oxidation on metal trim and chalking on older paint. On the ground, two patterns drive material choice: 1980s homes: aging roofs, original windows, outdated kitchens/bathrooms; and sfha 50% rule applies for substantial improvement.
Most exterior failures we see in this area trace to one root cause: contractors who skipped surface prep for salt deposits. We power-rinse, neutralize, then prime — extra day, decade longer paint life. That's why a exterior painting job here that lasts 5+ years requires materials and prep that wouldn't be necessary 200 miles inland — and why most failed jobs we get hired to redo are the result of contractors who treated this like a normal market.
💡 The honest truth: If someone quotes you a price without visiting the property first — walk away. Every Plantation job is different. Flood zones, HOA rules, building code, and material choices all change the scope. We always come look before we quote.
For Plantation homes (typical value $486,552-$595,000), exterior painting projects typically run $4,500 to $9,000. We give free on-site estimates with no pressure.
Permit requirements vary. For routine work, usually not. For major projects or any work in historic districts, yes — contact Building Safety, 400 NW 73rd Terrace to verify. We handle permit paperwork when hired.
Plantation has partially sfha — inland reduces coastal risk, canal flooding possible flood zone exposure and sits in Broward County. 1980s homes: aging roofs, original windows, outdated kitchens/bathrooms
Typical Plantation exterior painting job: 4-7 days. Proper prep takes the most time — skipping it is why most jobs fail early. We'd rather take the extra day than redo work.
