Exterior paint in Orlando

Most Orlando houses are young. Nearly half were built since 2000, and the typical one dates to 1997.

A newer house may also come with a homeowners association. Florida law lets an HOA or its architectural committee review how your house looks only as far as the declaration of covenants, or guidelines the declaration authorizes, spell it out. It also has to apply those standards the same way to every owner. So before you fall for a color, pull out your community's guidelines and see whether a new body or trim color needs a sign-off.

Inside the city's historic districts, paint color is handled as a minor review where it's required, and the city charges no fee for that review.

Then there's the heat. Orlando International tops 90°F on roughly 110 days, and about 70 of those fall in June, July and August. Benjamin Moore advises against painting in direct sunlight, so on a summer job, expect the crew to work its way around the house with the shade.

Questions homeowners ask

How accurate is a photo estimate?
It’s a ballpark, not a quote. One photo rarely shows the whole house, so a local painter who walks the property will always be more precise. Use our number as the range to expect before you start calling around.
What changes the price of an exterior paint job?
Square footage is the biggest factor, then how much prep the old paint needs — bare wood or peeling paint takes far more work than a clean recoat. Trim, multiple stories, and a color change add to it too.
Do I need to measure my house?
A rough guess at the wall square footage helps a lot, but if you don’t know it, just skip the question and we’ll estimate from your photo.
Is this really free?
Yes. No signup, no credit card, no spam. We only make money if you choose to connect with a local pro — and that’s up to you.
What photo works best?
A shot of the front of the house, plus any sides showing wear like peeling or bare spots, gives us the best read.
