Project story

What the customer needed

A Gulf Breeze homeowner wanted to restore curb appeal before listing the property. The exterior had held up reasonably well, but south-facing elevations showed chalking, mildew streaking, and peeling paint near window trim.

Problems we solved

Coastal exposure had accelerated paint failure on trim boards and fascia. Previous DIY touch-ups were visible from the street, and the body color had faded unevenly. The owner needed a schedule that respected neighbors and landscaping.

The finished result

After six days of prep-forward work, the home presented with sharp contrast between body and trim, clean lines at soffits and fascia, and a finish rated for Gulf Coast humidity and UV exposure.

Full project overview

Exterior painting in Gulf Breeze demands more than a fresh color — it requires prep that addresses mildew, salt air, and intense sun on south-facing elevations. This project is a typical coastal repaint where the existing coating was failing at trim transitions long before the main siding showed obvious wear.

We began with a detailed walkthrough to document peeling areas, chalking, and wood that needed spot repairs. Landscape beds and walkways were protected before pressure washing removed surface contamination that would prevent good adhesion.

Failed paint was scraped back to a sound edge, sanded smooth, and spot-primed. We caulked open joints at window casings, corner boards, and fascia connections — common failure points on Gulf Coast homes where expansion and moisture work against the coating film.

Sherwin-Williams Duration Exterior provided the main body coating with strong hide and flexibility, while trim received SherMax Urethane Enamel for a harder, cleaner edge at fascias and entry details. Naval on the body with Pure White trim gave the home a classic coastal contrast that photographs well for listing photos.

The crew worked elevation by elevation to keep the job organized and minimize downtime from weather windows. Each day ended with cleanup so driveways and plantings stayed accessible.

For homeowners in Gulf Breeze, Pensacola Beach, and nearby waterfront communities, this project illustrates the prep sequence and product choices we use when durability matters as much as color.
