When is the best time to paint in Florida?

Late fall through early spring is usually best. Lower humidity and milder temperatures help paint dry and cure properly.

How often does a house exterior need repainting?

Every 5 to 10 years on average. Stucco often needs it every 5 to 7 years, and sun-facing walls wear faster.

How can I lower the cost?

Move furniture and do simple prep yourself, paint only the areas that need it, and compare at least three written quotes.
