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 Miami-Dade County.
Here's what most Miami Lakes homeowners don't realize: Salt air, brutal sun, and humidity destroy regular paint on Miami Lakes 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 Miami Lakes's neighborhoods for over 25 years. Each area has its quirks:
Miami Lakes isn't a typical inland city — and painting here isn't typical either. Here's what we watch for:
In Lakes by the Bay, gated, waterfront, 23+ lakes, golf views. 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 Shula's Golf Club, championship course, luxury single-family estates. 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 Miami Lakes Village, master-planned, family-friendly, parks. 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: 1990 median build year — homes now 35+ years, exterior paint fading common; and hoa-governed majority — architectural review for exterior modifications.
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 Miami Lakes job is different. Flood zones, HOA rules, building code, and material choices all change the scope. We always come look before we quote.

This is followed by surface preparation, which can involve cleaning, repairs, and priming. Then, the actual painting phase takes place, involving one or more coats depending on the surface and conditions. The final phase includes cleanup and a walkthrough to ensure satisfaction.
