At That 1 Painter Tampa Bay, vibrant design meets coastal charm. Whether you’re living in a breezy beach bungalow, a Spanish-style villa in Hyde Park, or a modern home near downtown St. Pete, your exterior tells a story. It’s more than just siding or stucco—it’s the face of your home, your first impression, and your shield against Florida’s elements.
As we head into 2025, the demand for high-quality exterior painting is rising in the Bay area—and for good reason. The right paint job isn’t just about curb appeal. It’s about protection, value, and transforming your house into a true reflection of your personal style. Let’s explore everything you need to know to make your next exterior painting project a resounding success—Tampa Bay style.
A fresh coat of paint is more than a cosmetic update. It’s a smart investment in your home’s future.
In neighborhoods like Seminole Heights and Carrollwood, first impressions matter. A clean, vibrant exterior instantly boosts your home’s charm—whether you’re looking to sell or just want to turn heads on your evening walk.
Tampa Bay weather is no joke. From intense UV exposure to salty breezes and summer downpours, your home’s exterior takes a beating. Paint acts like armor, shielding your siding, trim, and structure from moisture, mildew, sun damage, and pests.
According to real estate experts, exterior painting can increase your home’s resale value by as much as 107% ROI. It’s one of the most cost-effective upgrades with a tangible return—especially in competitive markets like South Tampa or Riverview.
Regular painting prevents decay and costly repairs. Keeping wood, stucco, and siding protected ensures you’re not replacing materials prematurely due to rot or weather damage.
Painting in Florida requires strategic timing. Humidity, rainfall, and high temps all impact paint adhesion and drying.
Late February through early May and again from October to early December are ideal. These months offer lower humidity, milder temps, and more predictable weather.
Tampa’s hot, rainy summers (especially hurricane season) can wreak havoc on paint jobs. High temps cause paint to dry too quickly, leading to cracking or bubbling. Rain and humidity can interfere with drying and cause streaks or mildew.
Aim for at least three consecutive dry days with temperatures between 50°F–85°F. Avoid painting right after or just before heavy rains.
You don’t need Texas-sized paint durability—you need Florida-smart solutions. Here’s what to look for in a paint that can stand up to Tampa’s sun, salt, and storms.
These are your top choice for Florida homes. They resist mildew, flex with temperature changes, and hold up under direct sunlight.
Great for the environment and your family. Low-VOC paints improve indoor/outdoor air quality and are especially helpful when painting near windows, doors, or patios used frequently.
With year-round sun exposure, UV resistance is non-negotiable. These paints help prevent fading, peeling, and chalking.
Look for additives that resist mildew growth—especially important near the coast or in shaded, damp areas.
Color is one of the most powerful tools in your design arsenal. The right shades can modernize your home, highlight architectural features, and harmonize with the surrounding environment.
Warm grays, greiges, and taupe tones are big in 2025. These shades look elegant in Tampa’s historic districts and work well with brick or stucco.
Inspired by nature, hues like sage, olive, and seafoam blend beautifully with Florida foliage and offer a calming aesthetic.
Think navy siding with white trim, or charcoal with coral or teal accents. These bold choices reflect Tampa’s diverse architecture—from Craftsman to contemporary.
Add Mediterranean flair with warm clay tones. Perfect for Spanish-style and ranch homes, these shades complement tile roofs and palm-filled landscapes.
Blush pink, mint green, and pale blue are having a moment in coastal towns like Gulfport and Dunedin. They evoke vintage charm while feeling fresh and current.
Black shutters, trim, or doors offer dramatic contrast on light-colored homes and add modern sophistication.
A great paint job doesn’t start with the first stroke—it starts with preparation.
Before any paint is applied, we thoroughly clean your exterior with commercial-grade pressure washers to remove dirt, mold, and loose paint.
Cracked stucco, wood rot, and warping must be addressed first. Painting over damaged surfaces only hides problems temporarily.
Removing flaking paint ensures smooth, long-lasting results. This step can’t be skipped, especially on older homes or wood siding.
We fill gaps around windows, doors, and joints to keep moisture out and maintain energy efficiency.
For bare wood, patched areas, or color changes, primer helps the topcoat adhere properly and last longer.
We use drop cloths, painter’s tape, and covers to shield landscaping, walkways, and hardware.
Not all painters are created equal. Hiring the right team can mean the difference between a job that lasts ten years and one that peels in two.
Our painters aren’t just contractors—we’re local professionals who take pride in beautifying Tampa Bay one home at a time. With complimentary color consultations, a strong customer-first reputation, and a spotless cleanup guarantee, we take the hassle out of painting.
Cutting corners during preparation leads to premature failure. Flaking, bubbling, or uneven coverage are usually signs of poor prep work.
Cheap paint may save you upfront but costs more in the long run. It fades faster, offers poor coverage, and may require frequent repainting.
Applying paint during extreme heat, cold, or rain sets the job up for failure.
These areas are often overlooked but are essential to a complete, protective paint job.
Every home is different, but here’s a general range for exterior painting in 2025:
More homeowners are thinking about sustainability. That 1 Painter Tampa Bay is proud to offer eco-conscious options that protect your home and the planet.
Your paint job can last 7–10 years with the right care.
