Frequently Asked Questions
How long does exterior paint last in Florida?
Florida's intense UV, humidity, and salt air are brutal on exterior paint. Signs of failure: chalking, peeling, fading, mildew/algae growth.
What is the best exterior paint for Florida stucco?
Florida homes are predominantly stucco construction. Key requirement: use a masonry/stucco-specific primer — standard drywall primers fail on stucco.
Should I paint or re-stucco my Florida home?
If stucco has hairline cracks (<1/16"), elastomeric paint (SW Conflex or similar) bridges cracks and prevents water intrusion. For structural cracks (>1/8") or widespread failure, re-stucco is required — painting over failed stucco just delays the inevitable and can trap moisture, accelerating damage.
