Exterior Painting by Elmwood Painting

Exterior painting built for the Florida climate

Tallahassee sun and humidity beat on a paint job all year. The difference between an exterior that lasts and one that chalks out in two summers is prep: washing, scraping, priming, and repairing bad wood before a drop of color goes on. That is exactly the part we never skip.

§ 01 — WHAT IS INCLUDED

EVERY JOB COVERS THIS.

  • Full pressure wash before any prep begins
  • Scraping, sanding, and caulking of every failing area
  • Bare wood primed, never painted over raw
  • Quality exterior coatings selected for heat and humidity
  • Rotten trim or siding repaired before painting, not painted over

§ 02 — HOW IT WORKS

THE PROCESS.

  1. STEP 01

    Walkthrough

    We walk the whole exterior with you, point out what is failing and why, and price the real scope.

  2. STEP 02

    Wash

    A full pressure wash strips dirt, chalk, and mildew so the new coating can actually bond.

  3. STEP 03

    Prep

    Scrape, sand, caulk, and prime. Any rotten wood gets repaired or replaced first.

  4. STEP 04

    Paint

    Two full coats of exterior grade paint, brushed and rolled or sprayed and back rolled where it belongs.

  5. STEP 05

    Final walk

    We walk the house together and touch up anything you find before we leave.

§ 03 — WHAT HOMEOWNERS SAY

§ 04 — STRAIGHT ANSWERS

EXTERIOR PAINTING FAQS.

How long does exterior paint last in Florida?

With proper prep and quality paint, exterior painting typically lasts 5 to 8 years in Tallahassee's heat and humidity. Homes with more direct sun exposure or older siding may need attention sooner.

Is surface prep really necessary?

Yes. Scraping, sanding, patching, and priming are what make a paint job last. Skipping prep is the number one reason paint peels or fails early. It is a step we never cut corners on.

What if you find rotten wood?

We repair or replace it before painting. Painting over rot just hides the problem while it spreads. Wood replacement is one of our core services for exactly this reason.
