Transforming and Protecting a Beachside Home in Jacksonville Beach

Residential Painting Project in Jacksonville Beach, FL

In November 2024, CertaPro Painters of Jacksonville embarked on a transformative residential painting project in the serene coastal city of Jacksonville Beach. Over seven days, the team worked diligently to enhance and protect this beautiful beachfront home, ensuring it was ready to withstand the harsh elements of the coastal environment.

Project Scope

The project was extensive and meticulously planned. It involved thorough pressure washing to remove accumulated salt, sand, and grime, replacing the shutters to add a fresh look, and painting the entire home. The aim was to rejuvenate the home’s appearance and provide long-lasting protection against the elements.

Challenges and Solutions

One of the primary challenges was the proximity of the neighboring homes, which made maneuvering and accessing different parts of the house more complex. The team utilized taller ladders with stabilizer bars to ensure safety and stability while working at heights. Special equipment, like a lift dumper, was also employed to reach high areas efficiently.

Another unique challenge was dealing with the coastal weather and its impact on the home’s structure. The team used specialized techniques, such as caulking expansion joints with backer rods between windows and brick, to provide an extra layer of protection against moisture and salt air infiltration.

Techniques and Equipment

To tackle these challenges, the team leveraged various tools and techniques. Pressure washing was the first crucial step, effectively removing all the build-up that could compromise the new paint job. For the painting process, high-quality exterior paints were selected for their durability and resistance to harsh weather conditions. Taller ladders with stabilizer bars ensured the painters could safely and effectively reach every corner of the house.

Outcome and Client Satisfaction

The project concluded successfully within the set timeframe, leaving the homeowners delighted with the results. The fresh, vibrant coat of paint brought new life to the house, while the structural improvements and weather-resistant techniques ensured the home was well-protected against the coastal elements.
