HOUSE PAINTING · APOPKA, FL
More than half of Apopka's homes went up after 2000, and every one takes the same beating: 51 inches of rain a year and a 92° July. We wash, repair and repaint so the finish holds.
APOPKA HOMES
Orange County's history tour notes Apopka was chartered in 1882. The houses are far younger. Census Bureau estimates put the median home at 2002, with about 54% of housing units built since 2000 and roughly 35% between 1980 and 1999. Only about 1 in 9 is older than 1980.
Around 81% of Apopka's housing units are detached single-family houses, and close to 78% are owner-occupied, per the Census Bureau. That means a lot of stucco walls, garage doors and fascia boards coming due for fresh paint.
Homes from the 2000s are reaching the age where original paint and caulk wear out. You'll see chalky walls, shrinking caulk at windows and the first soft spots in fascia and trim. We repair all of it first, then paint.
PAINT AND APOPKA WEATHER
The nearest official 1991-2020 normals, at Orlando International, show 51.45 inches of rain a year. June is the wettest month at just over 8 inches. All summer, afternoon storms decide when a coat goes on.
Sherwin-Williams' Duration Exterior data sheet calls for air, surface and paint at least 5 degrees above the dew point, and about 4 hours before recoating at 50% humidity. On a sticky morning that means letting the walls dry before the first coat.
Shaded walls stay damp longer. Benjamin Moore's Aura Exterior lists a pass, no growth result on the ASTM D3273 mildew test. We soft wash first so any coating bonds to clean stucco instead of growth.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Yes. We paint homes all over Apopka, from older streets near downtown to newer subdivisions. Exterior repaints are our focus, and we handle interiors, cabinets, washing, paver sealing and wood repair too.
Most of the exterior repaints we do land between $4,000 and $6,000. Size, stories, how much prep and repair the house needs, and the paint system all move it. You get a written estimate after we walk the house, and it's free.
It depends on how fast the walls dry. Sherwin-Williams wants the surface at least 5 degrees above the dew point and advises staying above it for 48 hours after painting, so we check the surface, not just the sky.
Probably close. Look for chalky paint that rubs off on your hand, cracked caulk at windows and doors, and soft fascia boards. We check all three on the free estimate walk.
Yes. Soft washing removes mildew and dirt without forcing water into stucco or wood, so the new paint grabs a clean, dry surface.
We will walk every elevation, find the rot and the failing caulk, and give you a written number. No pressure, no pushy follow-up, no charge.
