2. Site protection — Landscaping, walkways, windows, and fixtures protected. Glass, hardware, and adjacent surfaces masked as needed.

3. Inspection and adhesion testing — We inspect for peeling, chalking, and failed paint. On suspect areas like stucco, trim, and doors, we perform a cross-hatch adhesion test. If paint lifts, those areas are treated as failed and prepped accordingly.

4. Surface prep — Loose or failing paint scraped to a sound edge, transitions feathered so they don’t show through. Glossy or slick surfaces scuffed for adhesion. Dust rinsed, surfaces dried.

5. Spot priming (as needed) — Bare or failed stucco gets Extreme Block. Aluminum soffit and fascia get Extreme Bond after scuffing. Fiberglass or steel doors get Extreme Bond after scuffing. Sound, previously painted surfaces that pass adhesion testing receive no full prime coat.

6. Caulking and minor repairs — Gaps at trim, windows, and penetrations caulked. Minor cracks or holes addressed before finish coats.

7. Finish painting — Stucco and soffits: spray coat followed by a back-roll coat. Doors: spray coat. Trim: hand-cut coat for crisp lines. Sherwin-Williams Duration is our standard system; Emerald is our premium option for Florida sun and humidity. Benjamin Moore Krylon Coat is our standard; Aura is our premium. Typically two coats on new or bare areas, one to two coats on sound repaints.
