Elite PremiumPaintingSW Florida Gulf CoastWhat a complete quote actually includes
Every paint quote has already made this choice, whether the painter says so or not. The lowest bid usually protects price and timing by removing work from the scope.
We choose quality and timing. Here is what that costs and why.
Built for this climate
Year-round UV, heat, humidity, storms, and salt air break down exterior coatings quickly. Homes in Lee and Collier Counties need a complete preparation process because a corner cut in this climate shows up fast.
Preparation before finish paintWhere the labor goes
The durability of a paint job lives in the preparation. This is the work that happens before the finish paint goes on. You cannot see it in the final result, which makes it easy to remove from a low bid.
Pressure washing, scraping, sanding, caulking, repairs, and conditioning typically require more labor than applying the final color.
Same house. Two quotes.
When one quote comes in thousands lower, the difference usually is not the paint. It is the work missing from the quote.
Bring the other quote
If you do not go with us, there are no hard feelings either way. You should know whether both quotes include the same work before you make your decision.
The corners you cannot see
You usually find out after the job is paid for and the finish has been through a Florida summer.
Each coat needs to reach the manufacturer’s recoat time before the next goes on. Rolling over a still-wet first coat creates one heavy coat instead of two distinct coats, even if it looks acceptable when the crew leaves.
Paint dries quickly in Florida sun. A skilled crew blends each new section into the still-wet paint of the last and plans around direct afternoon heat. Miss that window and lap marks can remain visible across the wall.
One standard of preparation
You cannot get a quality paint job at a cheap price. Something has to be skipped. Our preparation standard stays consistent. The coating package you select determines the finish system and the labor warranty period stated in your written proposal.
