A standard single-family home exterior typically takes two to four days from prep to finish, depending on the size of the house and weather conditions. Florida heat and afternoon storms can affect scheduling, so we build that into the timeline. Prep work — cleaning, scraping, priming — takes as much time as the painting itself when done correctly. Rushing that process is how you end up with paint that peels within a year.

In Florida's climate, most pavers should be resealed every two to three years depending on sun exposure, foot traffic, and whether the area gets regular moisture. UV rays break down sealers faster here than in cooler climates. When pavers start looking faded or stained and the water is no longer beading on the surface, that is a good sign it is time for resealing.

Cabinet painting is a legitimate alternative to replacement when the cabinet boxes are structurally sound. The key is proper prep — thorough cleaning, light sanding, and a bonding primer before any topcoat goes on. Skipping those steps is what causes cabinet paint to chip and peel. When done correctly, painted cabinets hold up well and can completely transform the look of a kitchen at a fraction of the replacement cost.
