Exterior Painting Services

Stucco & Exterior Walls

Stucco is one of the most common exterior surfaces in Sarasota. Proper preparation and the right coating system are important for achieving a consistent, durable finish.

We prepare and paint stucco exteriors while considering the condition of the existing surface, previous coatings, repairs, cracks, and the exposure the home receives.

Exterior Trim, Fascia & Soffits

Exterior trim, fascia, and soffits can experience significant exposure to Florida's sun, heat, humidity, and rain. Proper preparation and the appropriate coating help these areas maintain a clean, finished appearance while providing the performance needed for exterior applications.

Exterior Doors

Exterior doors are highly visible and receive frequent use and exposure to the elements. We prepare and paint exterior doors with attention to smooth coverage, clean lines, and a finish appropriate for the surface and its use.

Architectural Details

Shutters, columns, decorative trim, railings, and other exterior details can have a significant impact on the overall appearance of your home.

We take the time to prepare these surfaces properly and select coatings appropriate for the material and application.

Whole-Home Exterior Painting

Repainting an entire home requires more than selecting one color and applying it everywhere. Different exterior surfaces can have different preparation and coating requirements. We consider those differences when determining the right approach for the project.

Exterior Paint Preparation

The quality of an exterior paint job begins long before the first coat of paint is applied. Exterior surfaces are exposed to sun, heat, humidity, rain, dirt, moisture, and other environmental conditions. Over time, surfaces may develop chalking, peeling paint, mildew, stains, cracks, failed caulk, or other conditions that can affect the finished result.

Depending on the condition of the surfaces, preparation may include:

• Cleaning and preparing exterior surfaces
• Removing dirt, chalking, and surface contaminants
• Addressing mildew and organic growth
• Scraping loose or peeling paint
• Sanding where needed
• Filling appropriate cracks and imperfections
• Caulking appropriate gaps and joints
• Priming surfaces when appropriate
• Preparing previously repaired areas
• Protecting windows, landscaping, fixtures, and surrounding areas
• Creating clean transitions between different surfaces

Proper preparation creates a better foundation for the finish coat and helps produce the clean, consistent appearance homeowners expect from a professional exterior painting project.

Clarity Before Color

Start With the Result You Want

Choosing an exterior color is only one part of an exterior painting project. Before deciding on coatings and finishes, we believe you should first understand what you're trying to accomplish.

Maybe you're looking to refresh a faded exterior. Maybe you want to change the color of your home, improve durability, or give an older exterior a completely different appearance.

The right approach depends on the desired outcome, the condition of the existing surfaces, the materials being painted, exposure to the elements, the level of performance you need, and the budget you want to work within.

You Don't Have to Be a Paint Expert

There are many different exterior paints, coatings, finishes, and performance levels available. Knowing which products are appropriate for each exterior surface can be confusing. That's why we believe in Clarity Before Color.

We help you understand the differences that matter for your project, explain the advantages of different approaches, and help you determine where it makes sense to invest your budget.

The goal isn't to automatically recommend the most expensive coating. The goal is to recommend an approach that makes sense for your home and helps you achieve the result you want.

Purpose-Built Coating Systems - The Right Coating for the Right Application

Not every exterior surface has the same requirements. Stucco, trim, fascia, soffits, doors, and other surfaces can experience different levels of exposure and wear. Sun exposure, moisture, surface condition, material, and expected durability all play a role in selecting the appropriate coating.

Choosing the Right Exterior Paint Finish

Exterior coatings have to do more than look good when they're first applied. They need to perform in the environment where they are being used.

The appropriate coating depends on the surface, existing coating, surface condition, sun exposure, moisture, weather exposure, desired appearance, durability requirements, and maintenance expectations.

A coating that makes sense for one exterior surface may not be the best choice for another.

We help you understand those differences so the coating approach is selected based on the specific needs of your home.

Exterior Painting for Sarasota Homes

Exterior painting in Sarasota presents some unique challenges. Intense Florida sunlight, heat, humidity, rain, moisture, and changing weather can all affect painted surfaces over time. Homes also vary considerably in age, construction, exterior materials, existing coatings, and condition. Some exteriors may require extensive preparation, while others may simply need a well-executed color change. That's why we don't approach every exterior painting project the same way.

We evaluate the surfaces, consider the materials and environmental exposure, understand the result you're looking for, and help determine the painting approach that best fits the project.

Why Choose Lockwood for Exterior Painting?

A Better Approach to Exterior Painting

Choosing an exterior painter is about more than finding someone who can apply paint. You want the surfaces prepared properly. You want the coatings to make sense for each application. You want clean, consistent workmanship. And you want to understand what you're paying for before the work begins. That's where our approach is different.

Clarify Before Color

We believe homeowners make better decisions when they understand their options. We help explain the choices instead of expecting you to become a paint expert.

Careful Preparation

We treat surface preparation as an essential part of the painting project, not something to rush through before applying the finish.

Purpose-Built Coating Systems

We consider the surface, material, exposure, desired result, durability requirements, and budget rather than automatically using the same coating everywhere.

Quality Workmanship

Professional exterior painting requires attention to the details, from surface preparation and clean lines to consistent coverage and a uniform finished appearance.

Clear Communication

You should understand the recommended approach and why it makes sense for your home. We believe clear communication is part of providing a better painting experience.



Friendly Service

We are friendly people who paint. We want the experience of working with Lockwood Painting Company to be straightforward, respectful, and comfortable from start to finish.
