The reasons are simple:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Longer daylight hours<\/strong> allow for extended workdays.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Consistently warm temperatures<\/strong> help paint cure properly.<\/li>\n<li><strong>More homeowners are home for summer break<\/strong>, making it easier to coordinate projects.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>However, Florida\u2019s summer weather isn\u2019t without challenges. Afternoon thunderstorms, high humidity, and extreme UV exposure can all affect the quality and longevity of your paint job if not handled properly.<\/p>\n<h3>Tip 1: Start Early (Or Late) in the Day<\/h3>\n<p>In North Orlando, the midday sun can be brutal. We recommend scheduling painting work during the early morning or late afternoon to avoid peak heat and direct sunlight, which can cause paint to dry too quickly and lead to uneven finishes or cracking.<\/p>\n<p>At CertaPro Painters\u00ae, we adjust our crews&#8217; schedules to paint during the most favorable hours\u2014ensuring top-tier results that last.<\/p>\n<h3>Tip 2: Choose the Right Paint Formulas<\/h3>\n<p>Not all paints are created equal, especially in Florida\u2019s climate. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sherwin-williams.com\/homeowners\/products\/exterior-paint-coatings\/exterior-paint\">right exterior paint<\/a> should:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Be <strong>formulated for high UV resistance<\/strong> to prevent fading<\/li>\n<li>Offer <strong>moisture and mildew protection<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Have <strong>elastic properties<\/strong> to expand and contract with heat<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We use premium products from trusted brands like Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore, selected specifically for Florida\u2019s subtropical conditions. These paints hold up better against sunlight, humidity, and coastal air, reducing the need for frequent touch-ups.<\/p>\n<h3>Tip 3: Focus on Surface Preparation<\/h3>\n<p>One of the most overlooked\u2014but critical\u2014parts of any paint job is prep. In humid areas like North Orlando, improper prep can lead to early paint failure. Before painting, we:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Power wash surfaces<\/strong> to remove mold, mildew, dirt, and pollen<\/li>\n<li><strong>Scrape and sand peeling paint<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Seal cracks and caulk joints<\/strong> to prevent water intrusion<\/li>\n<li><strong>Apply primer<\/strong> to porous or previously unpainted areas<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Thorough preparation ensures better paint adhesion and a smoother, longer-lasting finish\u2014especially in high-moisture environments like ours.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-939 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/pub-9fc1f065f07e441b8f35365c774f09ae.r2.dev\/uploads\/sites\/1170\/2017\/08\/2017-Indian-Harbour-Beach-Front.jpg\" alt=\"Indian Harbour Beach - Exterior Painting\" width=\"724\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pub-9fc1f065f07e441b8f35365c774f09ae.r2.dev\/uploads\/sites\/1170\/2017\/08\/2017-Indian-Harbour-Beach-Front.jpg 724w, https:\/\/pub-9fc1f065f07e441b8f35365c774f09ae.r2.dev\/uploads\/sites\/1170\/2017\/08\/2017-Indian-Harbour-Beach-Front-300x249.jpg 300w, https:\/\/pub-9fc1f065f07e441b8f35365c774f09ae.r2.dev\/uploads\/sites\/1170\/2017\/08\/2017-Indian-Harbour-Beach-Front-720x597.jpg 720w, https:\/\/pub-9fc1f065f07e441b8f35365c774f09ae.r2.dev\/uploads\/sites\/1170\/2017\/08\/2017-Indian-Harbour-Beach-Front-480x398.jpg 480w, https:\/\/pub-9fc1f065f07e441b8f35365c774f09ae.r2.dev\/uploads\/sites\/1170\/2017\/08\/2017-Indian-Harbour-Beach-Front-360x298.jpg 360w, https:\/\/pub-9fc1f065f07e441b8f35365c774f09ae.r2.dev\/uploads\/sites\/1170\/2017\/08\/2017-Indian-Harbour-Beach-Front-240x199.jpg 240w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 724px) 100vw, 724px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Tip 4: Select Colors That Work with the Climate<\/h3>\n<p>Lighter colors reflect heat, helping to keep your home cooler and resist fading. Popular summer-friendly colors in the North Orlando-Space Coast region include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Soft beige and sandy tones<\/strong> for a coastal feel<\/li>\n<li><strong>Light grays and off-whites<\/strong> for a modern, clean look<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pale blues and greens<\/strong> that blend with the tropical landscape<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A bold front door in navy, teal, or coral can add a pop of personality without overheating.<\/p>\n<p>Need help choosing? Our professional color consultants can provide guidance based on your home\u2019s style, location, and sun exposure.<\/p>\n<h3>Tip 5: Work with Local Experts<\/h3>\n<p>Painting in Florida requires experience with the climate, the materials, and the region\u2019s architectural styles.
