Frequently Asked Questions
How often does a Florida home exterior need repainting?
Using SW Emerald or Duration with proper primer extends paint life significantly.
What is the best exterior paint color for Florida?
Lighter colors (whites, light grays, light tans) absorb less heat in Florida sun and stay cooler. Dark exterior colors on Florida homes increase cooling costs. Energy Star certified cool roof coatings are available for maximum heat rejection.
