What makes painting in Delray Beach different
Old cottages east of Swinton and the salt problem
The historic Marina District, Del-Ida Park, Osceola Park, and the blocks around Pineapple Grove hold some of the oldest wood-frame and Dade County pine homes in the county. Wood siding, fascia, and window trim that close to the Atlantic take salt and humidity constantly. Before we pick up a brush, we probe fascia boards and sills for soft spots, replace or consolidate what is rotted, prime bare wood with an oil-based or bonding primer, and back-caulk every joint. Skipping that step is why so many Delray repaints peel at the corners within a year.
Bold color and the Delray look
Delray homeowners are not afraid of color. Coral, sea glass green, navy shutters, and bright white trim are everywhere from Lake Ida to the Tropic Isle canals. Deep, saturated colors fade faster under South Florida sun, so we recommend formulas with UV-stable pigments and talk honestly about which shades will still look right in five years.
New townhomes and the builder-grade paint problem
The newer townhomes and infill homes off Atlantic Avenue and along Federal Highway were often finished with one thin coat of flat builder paint. It scuffs, it will not clean, and it shows every roller mark. A proper interior repaint here means a light sand, spot priming, and two coats of a washable matte or eggshell. Cabinet painting is also popular in these homes, where the kitchen is a few years old but the finish already looks dated.
Lake Ida, Tropic Isle, and the canal homes
Waterfront homes on the canals and around Lake Ida get mildew on north-facing walls and under eaves. We treat that with a mildewcide wash, not paint over it, and specify a mildew-resistant exterior coating.
