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 Broward County.
Here's what most Lighthouse Point homeowners don't realize: Salt air, brutal sun, and humidity destroy regular paint on Lighthouse Point 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 Lighthouse Point's neighborhoods for over 25 years. Each area has its quirks:
Lighthouse Point isn't a typical inland city — and painting here isn't typical either. Here's what we watch for:
In Lighthouse Point Waterfront, deep-water canal homes with ocean access. 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 Cap's Place Island, historic landmark restaurant, waterfront properties. 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 Northeast, residential core, single-family homes near Hillsboro Inlet. 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: oldest housing stock in area — 1967 median year built; and extreme salt air exposure (coastal) — paint fails 2-3x faster than inland.
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 Lighthouse Point job is different. Flood zones, HOA rules, building code, and material choices all change the scope. We always come look before we quote.
