KB Painting crew prepping and priming a Treasure Coast home exterior before the finish coat
How We Work

Prep first. Always.

The difference between a paint job that looks good on day one and one that still looks good in year five is prep. Our process is built around it.

Free on-site estimate

We come to you — no pressure, no obligation. One of our team walks every surface with you, answers questions, and gives you a written quote you can hold us to. No hidden fees, no bait-and-switch pricing.

  • Scheduled within 1–3 business days
  • Written itemized quote emailed same day or next morning
  • We explain exactly what prep is needed and why

Meticulous prep work

Prep is where most painting contractors cut corners — and where the quality gap shows up five years later. Our crew power-washes, caulks, scrapes, sands, fills, and primes before a single drop of finish paint touches your home.

  • Soft- or pressure-washing all exterior surfaces
  • Full caulking of gaps, cracks, and trim joints
  • Sanding and spot-priming to ensure adhesion
  • Masking and protecting all surfaces not being painted
  • Interior: furniture moved and covered, floors protected

Premium Sherwin-Williams application

We use Sherwin-Williams exclusively — products engineered for Florida's heat, humidity, and salt air. Our crew applies every coat by hand or with professional spray equipment, depending on the surface. No shortcuts.

  • Sherwin-Williams Emerald, Duration, or Resilience — chosen by surface and exposure
  • Two finish coats standard on all exterior work
  • Consistent coverage checked under raking light before moving on
  • Spray, back-roll, or brush-and-roll depending on surface profile

Final walkthrough & cleanup

We don't leave until you're satisfied. The project lead walks every room (or every elevation) with you to review the finished work. Touch-ups are handled on the spot. We haul away all materials and leave the site cleaner than we found it.

  • Room-by-room (or side-by-side exterior) walkthrough with the homeowner
  • All touch-ups done before we pack up
  • Full cleanup — no paint cans, tape, or drop cloths left behind
  • Written warranty provided at job close — 5 years on workmanship, 6 months on cabinet finishes
Why prep matters

A beautiful paint job starts before the first coat

Florida's climate is hard on paint: UV exposure, humidity, salt air, and daily temperature swings all accelerate coating failure. The paint itself matters — that's why we use Sherwin-Williams exclusively. But even the best paint won't stick to a surface that hasn't been properly cleaned, sanded, and primed.

When you see paint peeling or chalking on a neighbor's home a few years after it was painted, it's almost always a prep failure, not a product failure. Our crews are trained to treat prep as the work — because it is.
