Quick Answer

Interior and Exterior House Painters in Fort Lauderdale

Fort Lauderdale painting projects range from single-room touch-ups to full exterior stucco repaints on the CBS and concrete-block construction common throughout Broward County. Interior scopes include wall prep, drywall repair, caulking at trim and window surrounds, priming, and two finish coats. Exterior scopes add stucco assessment, elastomeric coating selection, fascia and trim painting, and color-board coordination for deed-restricted communities.

Most Fort Lauderdale homeowners schedule painting before listing, after a renovation, or when exterior surfaces show chalking, peeling, or mildew from South Florida's coastal humidity. Project timelines run two to ten days depending on scope and association approval lead time. All estimates are scoped on-site before a price is given.

What drives cost

  • · Coastal exposure (High) — proximity to salt air determines primer grade and whether elastomeric or standard acrylic coatings are specified for Fort Lauderdale exteriors
  • · Stucco condition — cracks, chalking, and efflorescence require remediation before coating; skipping it causes premature failure on Fort Lauderdale surfaces
  • · Association pre-approval — color-board submissions and COI letters add scheduling lead time in gated and association-governed communities throughout Broward County
  • · Finish selection — Duration and Aura lines add material cost vs. standard; mold-resistant formulas required in kitchens, baths, and laundry
  • · Permit requirements — City of Fort Lauderdale Development Services / LauderBuild review confirmed at walkthrough; digital permit intake is standard
  • · Wet-season timing — June–October afternoon storms limit exterior coating windows; weather-aware scheduling built into every outdoor Fort Lauderdale scope

Common Project Types

What Fort Lauderdale homeowners most often schedule

The most frequently requested painting scopes Henry Craftsmen handles across Fort Lauderdale and Broward County—with what each involves on the ground.

Full Interior Repaint

Walls, ceilings, trim, and doors across all rooms. Includes surface wash, drywall crack fill, full caulk bead at all trim and window surrounds, primer where needed, and two finish coats. Mold-resistant formula in kitchens, baths, and laundry in all Fort Lauderdale scopes.

Exterior Stucco Repaint

Full home exterior including stucco field, fascia, soffit, trim, and shutters. Starts with pressure wash and stucco inspection, elastomeric crack filler, caulk at all penetrations, primer rated for coastal exposure, and two UV-resistant topcoats. Color-board coordination handled.

Pre-Listing Touch-Up

Targeted interior wall repairs and touch-up painting scoped at walkthrough to focus on visible impact areas. Drywall patch, texture match, and spot prime included before finish coat. Typically 1–2 days for a standard Fort Lauderdale home.

Interior + Cabinet Combo

Interior repaint sequenced with cabinet refinishing—paint scope completes first, cabinet doors follow. Door and drawer face removal, deglossing, sanding, primer, and two topcoats. Avoids two separate mobilizations for Fort Lauderdale homeowners.

Drywall Repair + Paint

Water damage, settling cracks, or renovation cut-ins repaired with setting compound, skim coat, and texture match before painting. Zinsser Bulls Eye 1-2-3 primer on all repaired surfaces. Finish is consistent across the full wall—not patched over.

New Construction Paint

Interior and exterior painting for new builds and gut renovations in Fort Lauderdale. Primer on all drywall, two-coat finish on walls, single-coat on ceilings. Exterior uses Loxon XP stucco prime before topcoat. Sequenced around trade completion schedule.

Sherwin-Williams

Duration Home (interior scrubbable), Duration Exterior (UV and mildew rated), Emerald (premium interior), and Loxon XP (stucco prime). Frequently specified for Fort Lauderdale exterior work due to elastomeric performance in South Florida coastal conditions.

Benjamin Moore

Aura Exterior (premium salt-air rated), Aura Interior (zero VOC), Regal Select (standard interior). Specified for premium scopes and color-sensitive projects across Broward County where finish quality is a priority.

Zinsser & DAP

Bulls Eye 1-2-3 primer for adhesion on patched surfaces and new drywall. Perma-White for mold-resistant applications in baths and laundry rooms. DryDex spackling for surface repair before painting on Fort Lauderdale interiors.

Who Typically Hires Henry Craftsmen

The Fort Lauderdale homeowners behind most projects

Pre-Sale Sellers

Homeowners preparing to list who need interior touch-up or a full repaint — and exterior stucco work — completed before photos and showings. Typical timeline: 2–5 days depending on scope in Fort Lauderdale.

Move-In Buyers

New owners who want a full interior repaint before furniture arrives. Often combined with cabinet refinishing or drywall repair from the inspection list. Full interior and cabinets typically 4–7 days in a standard Fort Lauderdale home.

HOA Compliance

Homeowners in gated communities who received an exterior repaint notice from their association. Henry Craftsmen prepares the color-board packet and COI letter and submits before scheduling. Projects don't start until written approval is confirmed.

Renovation Finishers

Homeowners who completed a kitchen or bath renovation and need the rest of the home repainted to match. Interior painting and cabinet touch-ups handled together. Sequenced around trade completion in Fort Lauderdale remodels.

How every project runs

1

On-site walkthrough & scope document

Surface conditions, room count, prep requirements, and product selections documented before a price is given. Substrate condition on Fort Lauderdale stucco is assessed at this stage.

2

Association submission & permit confirmation

3

Prep & repair before coating

Drywall repair, caulking, surface cleaning, and priming completed before any finish coat goes on. Prep is not optional on Fort Lauderdale surfaces — moisture exposure makes proper adhesion treatment a requirement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions Fort Lauderdale homeowners ask before scheduling

Interior painting in Fort Lauderdale typically runs $1.50–$3.50 per square foot for walls and ceilings, depending on surface condition, finish level, and room count. Exterior full-home repaints on standard CBS or stucco construction run $3,000–$7,000+ depending on square footage, stucco repair scope, and association color-board requirements. Coastal proximity in Broward County adds prep cost due to salt-air degradation and the need for premium elastomeric coatings. Every Fort Lauderdale estimate is scoped on-site before a price is given.
Most association-governed communities in Fort Lauderdale—including Victoria Park and Coral Ridge—require written color-board approval and a contractor COI before exterior work can begin. Color boards, contractor insurance certificates, and restricted work hours are common requirements across Broward County. Henry Craftsmen prepares the color-board packet, COI letter, and any required documentation and submits before a start date is scheduled. Projects don’t go on the calendar until written approval is confirmed.
Most Fort Lauderdale exteriors need repainting every 5–8 years, compared to 8–12 years in drier climates. Intense UV, long wet seasons, salt-laden air near the coast, and daily summer humidity all accelerate fading, mildew, and caulk failure; exterior schedules have to work around afternoon rain windows and substrate dry time. Homes closer to the coast in Broward County—particularly in areas like Victoria Park—degrade faster and may need recoating closer to the 5-year mark. Interior repaints are typically driven by lifestyle changes, resale prep, or finish wear rather than a fixed interval.
Standard residential repaints in the same color family typically don’t require a permit through City of Fort Lauderdale Development Services / LauderBuild. However, digital permit intake is standard; older coastal housing stock and flood-zone work often trigger more documentation around windows, doors, waterproofing, and exterior scope changes. Henry Craftsmen confirms permit requirements during the walkthrough before scheduling begins—not on the day of the project.
Fort Lauderdale stucco homes need elastomeric or 100% acrylic coatings rated for UV resistance, mildew resistance, and moisture-vapor management. A shallow water table increases moisture movement through exterior assemblies, shortening coating life on windward surfaces. Sherwin-Williams Duration Exterior and Benjamin Moore Aura Exterior are most frequently specified for Fort Lauderdale and Broward County coastal work. Product selection is confirmed at the walkthrough based on substrate condition.
A full exterior repaint of a typical Fort Lauderdale CBS or stucco home (1,500–2,500 SF) takes 3–6 working days: one day for pressure wash and prep, one to two days for stucco repair and caulking, and two days for primer and two topcoats. Weather windows between Broward County’s June–October rainy season are built into the schedule. Association approval timelines are confirmed before a start date is set.
Gated and association-governed communities throughout Fort Lauderdale tend to have the most documentation requirements before exterior work can start. In Victoria Park and Coral Ridge, color-board packets, COI letters, and contractor pre-qualification are often required before any exterior scope is scheduled. Henry Craftsmen handles all association documentation before a start date is set.
A standard interior painting scope for Fort Lauderdale homes includes: surface cleaning, drywall crack fill and texture match, full caulk bead at all trim, window, and door surrounds, primer coat on all repaired or previously unpainted drywall, two finish coats on walls and ceilings, trim and door painting, and a documented final quality walk. Mold-resistant formulas are applied in kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry areas. Prep is not optional on Fort Lauderdale surfaces—moisture exposure makes proper adhesion treatment a requirement, not a preference.
