How to Achieve a Long-Lasting Exterior Paint Job in Longwood’s Humid Climate

Living in Longwood means enjoying beautiful parks, charming neighborhoods, and plenty of sunshine — but it also means dealing with heavy humidity for a large part of the year. Florida’s moisture-rich environment can be tough on your home’s exterior, making it crucial to use the right techniques, materials, and timing when it’s time for a fresh coat of paint.

At CertaPro Painters® of North Orlando–Space Coast, we know exactly what it takes to make an exterior paint job in Longwood not only look incredible — but last.

The Unique Challenge of Painting in Longwood’s Humidity

When it comes to painting exteriors in places like Longwood, Lake Mary, and Winter Springs, the biggest enemy is water — and it doesn’t even have to be raining. Humidity alone can create problems if not properly accounted for.

Constant moisture in the air can cause paint to:

• Dry improperly, leading to tacky surfaces
• Develop mildew or mold
• Peel, blister, or crack prematurely
• Lose its vibrant color faster under Florida’s strong sun

When you combine high humidity with sudden summer downpours and intense UV rays, your home’s exterior needs much more than a standard paint job — it needs a weather-smart strategy.

How CertaPro Painters® Protects Your Home in Longwood’s Climate

Every painting project we take on in Longwood and the surrounding areas is customized to the climate and the home’s specific needs. Here’s how we make sure your exterior holds up against the elements:

First, we prepare every surface with care. Proper prep work is the most important step for homes in humid areas. We power wash to remove dirt, algae, and mildew, and we repair cracks or gaps that could let water seep into your home. Moisture trapped behind paint is often the culprit of bubbling or peeling — and we do everything to prevent that from happening.

Next, we choose the right weather-resistant paints. Not every paint is built for Florida. We opt for premium products that are designed to resist mildew growth, flex with temperature changes, and stand up to UV exposure without fading. Elastomeric coatings and paints with mold-resistant additives are often great choices for our local homes.

Finally, we plan our work around the weather. Timing matters. We monitor humidity levels and daily forecasts closely to ensure the paint has the right conditions to cure properly. Rushing during poor weather leads to poor results — and that’s simply not our style.
