Exterior House Painting Built for Florida’s Sun, Salt & Humidity
In South Florida, an exterior paint job isn’t just about looks — it’s protection. Salt air, relentless UV and year-round humidity break down ordinary paint fast. KoARQ specializes in exterior painting engineered for our climate, so your home looks great and stays protected for years, not seasons. We serve homeowners across Miami Shores, Coral Gables, Pinecrest and beyond — licensed, insured and owner-led.
The Florida climate problem (and how we solve it)
Most exterior paint jobs in Miami fail early for the same reasons: salt residue left on the surface, painting over mold, skipped stucco repairs, or low-grade paint that can’t handle the sun. We do it differently. Every exterior project starts with the prep that actually makes paint last in our climate.
Our exterior prep — where the job is won
- Pressure washing to strip salt, chalk, dirt and mildew (painting over salt is the #1 cause of early failure)
- Stucco crack and surface repair before any coating
- Mold and mildew treatment at the source
- Priming bare and repaired areas with the right masonry/bonding primer
- Proper dry time — we never paint damp stucco in humid weather
Premium coatings chosen for the coast
We use top-tier Sherwin-Williams products like Duration and Emerald — breathable, mold-resistant, UV- and salt-tolerant acrylics. For homes very close to the water or with hairline stucco cracking, we recommend elastomeric coatings that form a flexible, waterproof membrane built for severe marine exposure.
What we paint
Stucco, siding, trim, doors, garage doors, soffits, fascia and more. Whether it’s a full exterior repaint or refreshing your home before selling, we deliver a clean, durable finish.
Built to last 8–12 years
With premium coatings over thorough prep, a Florida exterior should hold up 8–12 years before significant wear — not the 4–6 you get from cut corners. That’s why we back exterior work with a written 2–5 year warranty.
