5-Star Rated Exterior Painters – Orlando Since 1989
Orlando’s climate is one of the harshest environments for exterior paint in the United States, intense UV rays, year-round humidity, heavy afternoon storms and hurricane season all break down exterior surfaces faster than almost anywhere else in the country. Philip White Painting and Restoration LLC has been painting Orlando home exteriors since 1989, and we know exactly what it takes for paint to last in this climate. We use Sherwin-Williams Duration and Emerald Exterior, Benjamin Moore Aura Exterior and elastomeric coatings for stucco homes, products specifically engineered for Florida’s conditions. Licensed, BBB Accredited A+ and 5.0 stars on Google.
Trusted in Orlando
Not all exterior paints perform equally in Florida. Standard acrylic latex paints perform well in moderate climates but can fade, peel and chalk within 3 to 5 years under Orlando’s UV intensity and humidity. We select paint products based on your specific home’s surface – Sherwin-Williams Duration Exterior or Emerald Exterior for wood siding, fiber cement and previously painted surfaces; Benjamin Moore Aura Exterior for superior color retention on all surfaces; and elastomeric or masonry coatings for stucco and concrete block homes. For Orlando homeowners looking for the longest-lasting protection, we also apply elastomeric coatings that bridge hairline cracks and create a waterproof barrier. The best time to paint exteriors in Orlando is October through May before the rainy season arrives and when humidity is lower for better adhesion.
Our exterior painting service is fully managed from the first pressure wash to the final walkthrough. Every job includes surface preparation, all needed repairs, priming, painting, trim work and complete cleanup. We do not cut corners on prep because prep is what determines how long the paint job lasts in Orlando’s climate.
Exterior prep is the most critical step and the one most companies skip to save time. Our prep process includes power washing the entire exterior at 2,500-3,000 PSI to remove dirt, mold, mildew and chalking paint, scraping all loose and peeling paint back to a stable surface, caulking all gaps around windows, doors and trim to prevent water intrusion, repairing stucco cracks with elastomeric patching compound, spot priming all bare areas and applying full coverage primer on new wood or heavily repaired sections. We never paint over mold or peeling paint.
We paint all exterior surface types found on Orlando homes, stucco (the most common surface in Central Florida), wood siding, fiber cement siding (HardiePlank), vinyl siding, brick, concrete block,and previously painted surfaces. Each surface type requires different preparation and paint selection. Our team is experienced with all of them and selects the right product for each specific surface.
Stucco homes in Orlando develop hairline cracks over time from Florida's heat expansion, ground movement and hurricane winds. Left unrepaired, these cracks allow water intrusion that leads to mold, rot and expensive structural damage. We repair all stucco cracks before painting using elastomeric patching compounds, then apply elastomeric paint or coating that flexes with the surface and bridges any remaining hairline cracks, creating a waterproof barrier that standard paint cannot provide.
Exterior trim work defines the final quality of any house painting job. We paint all exterior trim elements including window frames, door frames, fascia boards, soffits, shutters and garage doors using semi-gloss or gloss finishes that resist moisture, UV damage and staining. Clean, sharp trim lines are what separate a professional paint job from a DIY result and it is where our 37 years of experience shows.
We handle all types of exterior painting projects ,complete whole-house repaints, targeted touch-ups on specific surfaces, HOA-required color compliance repaints and pre-sale painting for homeowners preparing to list their property. We are experienced working with HOA color palettes and approval processes across Orlando communities and we provide documentation as needed for HOA submissions.
When painting is complete, we remove all masking, tape and drop cloths from your landscaping, driveway and walkways. We clean all paint overspray from windows, fixtures and hard surfaces. We conduct a full exterior walkthrough with you to inspect every surface, edge and trim piece in natural light. We fix any imperfection on the spot and do not close the job until you are completely satisfied.
If you have a stucco home in Orlando and most Central Florida homeowners do, your exterior painting needs are different from wood or siding homes. Stucco is a porous, breathable surface that cracks over time from Florida’s heat cycles, ground settlement and storm impact. Standard paint applied directly over cracked stucco traps moisture and fails prematurely. Philip White Painting and Restoration LLC has 37 years of experience painting and repairing stucco homes in Orlando. We repair all cracks before painting, select the right masonry or elastomeric product for your stucco type and apply coatings that protect and waterproof rather than just cover.
Orlando is one of the most demanding environments for exterior paint in North America. The combination of 2,600+ annual hours of sunshine (intense UV radiation that bleaches and degrades paint binders), year-round humidity that prevents proper curing if timing is wrong, 54 inches of annual rainfall concentrated in a 5-month rainy season and Category 1-3 hurricane winds that drive water horizontally into surfaces all of this means that paint chosen and applied for Orlando needs to meet a much higher standard than paint applied in a moderate climate. Philip White has been navigating these conditions since 1989.
For stucco, concrete block and masonry homes in Orlando, elastomeric coatings offer a level of protection that standard exterior paint cannot match. Elastomeric coatings are rubber-based products that apply thick (typically 10 to 20 mils, compared to 1 to 2 mils for standard paint), bridge hairline cracks in stucco and masonry, flex with the surface through Florida’s temperature cycles without cracking and create a fully waterproof barrier that keeps water completely out of porous surfaces. The result is a paint job that lasts significantly longer than standard paint under Florida conditions, often 10 to 15 years versus 5 to 7 for standard exterior paint.
In Orlando, exterior paint is not optional maintenance, it is structural protection.

Prep day is when the real work begins. We power wash the entire exterior at high pressure to remove dirt, mold, mildew and chalking. We scrape all loose and peeling paint. We caulk all gaps around windows, doors and trim joints. We repair stucco cracks with elastomeric compound. We spot prime all bare surfaces. Only when the entire exterior is clean, sound, and properly primed do we start applying paint.
We apply a minimum of two full coats of your selected paint product to all exterior surfaces walls, siding, and stucco receive body color; trim, fascia, soffits, shutters and doors receive their own color and sheen. We use brush, roller and airless spray depending on the surface and area and back-roll sprayed areas for even penetration. All landscaping, windows, fixtures and surfaces not being painted are masked and protected throughout.
After painting is complete, we remove all masking and protective materials. We conduct a full exterior walkthrough with you, checking every surface, trim piece and edge in natural light. We address any touch-ups on the spot. We do not leave until you are fully satisfied with the result and sign off on the completed work.

In Orlando’s climate, a properly prepared and painted exterior with premium paint lasts 5 to 8 years for standard acrylic latex paints and 10 to 15 years for elastomeric coatings on stucco homes. Paint that was applied without proper prep or with discount contractor paint often fails within 2 to 4 years in Florida’s conditions. Using the right product for your surface type masonry paint for stucco, 100% acrylic latex for wood siding, is the single biggest factor in how long your paint job lasts.
The best window for exterior painting in Orlando is October through May, the dry season when humidity is lower, afternoon thunderstorms are rare and temperatures are more moderate. Painting during June through September (rainy season) is possible but requires careful scheduling around afternoon storms and may result in longer drying times and slightly reduced adhesion. We schedule all exterior jobs with Orlando’s seasonal weather in mind and communicate clearly about timing expectations.
Yes, stucco painting is one of our core specialties. The majority of Orlando homes are stucco construction and we have been painting and repairing stucco exteriors since 1989. Stucco requires specific preparation (crack repair, proper priming) and the right paint product (masonry paint or elastomeric coating). We repair all cracks before painting and use products formulated for porous masonry surfaces. If your stucco has significant cracking or water intrusion history, we recommend elastomeric coating for maximum waterproofing protection.
Yes. A large percentage of Orlando homes are in HOA communities with strict color and maintenance requirements. We are experienced working within HOA color palettes and approval processes. We can help you select approved colors, provide the documentation your HOA requires for pre-approval, and complete the work to HOA standards. If your home has received an HOA violation or required repaint notice, call us, we handle these jobs quickly and efficiently.
Yes. We apply elastomeric coatings for stucco, concrete block, and masonry homes across Orlando. Elastomeric coatings are significantly thicker than standard paint, bridge hairline cracks in stucco, flex with surface movement and create a fully waterproof barrier. They are the best long-term exterior solution for stucco homes in Florida. The higher upfront cost is offset by a much longer repaint interval, typically 10 to 15 years versus 5 to 7 for standard paint. Call us for a free assessment of whether elastomeric is right for your home.
