Exterior Painting in Fort Lauderdale, FL
Exterior painting in Fort Lauderdale runs roughly $3.50–$6.00 per sq ft of paintable surface for a quality two-coat job — about $2,800–$5,000 for a 1,200–1,800 sq ft home and $4,500–$7,500 for 1,800–2,800 sq ft, with every estimate free and in writing. KB Painting & Refinishing sends our own employees — never subcontractors — and builds every job around the salt air that 300-plus miles of inland waterways push against canal-front stucco in Harbor Beach and Las Olas Isles.
Local insight
Canal-front and barrier island properties in Fort Lauderdale face accelerated paint oxidation and caulk failure — our exterior process includes a full perimeter caulk audit at every window, door, and expansion joint, because open seams are where South Florida moisture gets in first.
Exterior painting in Fort Lauderdale
Fort Lauderdale’s exterior painting market is shaped by two things: salt air from the Atlantic and the Intracoastal, and the relentless South Florida sun. Homes in Harbor Beach and Coral Ridge that sit within a half-mile of saltwater routinely see paint chalking, caulk shrinkage, and rust staining from embedded rebar within five to eight years. Choosing the right paint system — and applying it correctly — extends that cycle significantly.
Our exterior process
We start with a thorough pressure wash, let the surface dry completely, and then do a hands-on inspection of every caulked joint, expansion crack, and stucco patch. Any failed caulk gets removed and replaced with a paintable, UV-stable product before primer goes on. We use Sherwin-Williams exterior coatings rated for high-humidity, salt-air environments — the same product families used on coastal commercial buildings throughout Broward County.
HOA colors in Fort Lauderdale
Victoria Park, Harbor Beach, and several Las Olas Isles streets have active HOAs with approved color palettes. We provide written color proposals and can prepare paint-chip samples or a digital rendering for your HOA submission. We schedule the work only after you have written HOA approval in hand — no surprises for you or your neighbors.
Warranty
Our 5-year workmanship warranty covers any adhesion or peeling issues that appear after we complete the job. For coastal Fort Lauderdale homes, that commitment matters — you’re not left managing a paint failure on your own.
Questions Fort Lauderdale homeowners ask
How often does a Fort Lauderdale exterior actually need to be repainted? Canal-front and coastal properties in Fort Lauderdale typically need repainting every 5 to 7 years rather than the 10-year cycle you might hear quoted for inland markets. Salt air accelerates oxidation, and Florida’s UV index is among the highest in the country. Homes with properly prepped and primed surfaces, painted with Sherwin-Williams Duration or Emerald Exterior, tend to stay on the longer end of that range.
Does hurricane season affect your exterior painting schedule? Yes — we try to wrap up large exterior projects before June if possible, and we are thoughtful about scheduling during the active storm months of August through October. If a project is underway and a storm approaches, we secure any materials and pause until conditions are safe. We never rush a job to beat a weather window, because a rushed prep job shows up fast in South Florida’s climate.

My wife and i just bought a house in Fort Lauderdale but we didn't like the colors of the interior, so we had KB Painting apply a complete new makeover and they nailed it! Looks better than we imagined as we are beyond satisfied with their A+ work!

What paint does KB Painting use on Fort Lauderdale stucco and CBS homes?
For Fort Lauderdale's stucco and CBS block exteriors, KB Painting works from Sherwin-Williams' coastal-rated lines — Loxon elastomeric coatings that bridge hairline stucco cracks, and Duration or Emerald Exterior finishes rated for high-humidity, salt-air environments. On canal-front homes, the water-facing elevations take the brunt of oxidation, so we replace every failed caulk joint there before primer goes on and moisture has a way in.
Do Fort Lauderdale HOAs need to approve exterior colors before painting starts?
In Victoria Park, Harbor Beach, and several Las Olas Isles streets, active HOAs keep approved color palettes, and KB Painting prepares the submission with you — written color proposals, paint-chip samples, or a digital rendering as the board requires. We schedule the work only after your written approval is in hand, so there are no surprises for you or your neighbors. The estimate itself stays free and in writing.
