Looking for the best exterior painting company in Orlando? Discover how to choose licensed pros, check reviews, and protect your home against Florida’s climate.
• Weather windows: Summer rain and humidity affect drying/curing. The right contractor plans around daily forecasts and hurricane season.
• Durability: Proper surface prep and film build are essential for stucco, Hardie, and trim exposed to Florida sun and moisture.
• HOA & color compliance: Pros help you choose compliant colors and submit approvals.
1 - Proof of legitimacy & coverage
• Active general liability insurance in the company’s legal name (request a certificate sent directly from the insurer).
• Clear business credentials and service area (Orlando & nearby neighborhoods).
2 - Portfolio & reputation (proof of performance)
• Check Google reviews for consistency and recency; read comments about prep, punctuality, and cleanup.
• Ask for a before/after gallery and short video walkthroughs of recent Orlando projects.
• Request two recent local references or drive-by addresses to verify exterior durability.
• Confirm that photos and videos are the contractor’s own work (not stock images).
3 - Climate-appropriate prep (the #1 durability factor)
• Wash & decontaminate (pressure wash + mildew treatment); allow proper dry-out.
• Repair & seal (stucco cracks, caulk joints, spot-prime stains and chalk).
• Application plan (two full coats or specified film thickness; back-rolling where texture demands).
4 - The right paint system for Florida
• 100% acrylic exterior coatings with UV and mildew resistance.
• Sheen strategy: Low-sheen/satin on stucco for cleanability; higher sheen on doors/trim for crisp lines.
• Color strategy: Lighter body colors reduce heat absorption; darker accents (e.g., black fascia/garage/door) used intentionally for modern contrast.
• Scope by area: walls, soffits/fascia, trim, doors, garage, gutters, railings.
• Detailed prep: cleaning, repairs, caulking, priming. • Products & coats: brand/line, sheen, and coat counts.
• Warranty & schedule: what’s covered and how weather windows are handled.
• Commercial extras: lift safety plan, off-hours scheduling, phased areas to keep operations running, COIs for property managers
Local pricing in Orlando/Central Florida depends on home size/stories, substrate (stucco vs. siding/brick), repairs, color changes, and paint system. Consider total lifecycle value: premium systems + meticulous prep reduce maintenance and extend repaint cycles. Note: Prices are local estimates and may vary by scope and site conditions.
• No verifiable insurance or vague coverage.
• One-line bids (no prep detail, no coat counts).
• “One thick coat” claims — Florida conditions demand proper film build.
• Pushy upsells without explaining why (UV, moisture, substrate) in your context
