How much does it cost to paint a house in Jacksonville?
The cost depends on square footage, number of stories, surface (stucco, block, wood or siding), the amount of repair and prep, and the paint system. Because every home is different, we provide a free, itemized written estimate after seeing the property — no guesswork and no surprise charges.
How often should I repaint my house exterior in Florida?
Most Jacksonville exteriors need repainting every 5–8 years. Coastal homes, dark colors and walls with full afternoon sun may need repainting sooner; thorough prep and premium acrylic paint extend the life of the job.
What is the best time of year to paint outside in Jacksonville?
Spring (March–May) and fall (October–November) are ideal because humidity and rain are lower. Summer work is fine when scheduled in the mornings around afternoon thunderstorms.
Do you paint cabinets?
Yes. We remove doors and hardware, degrease, sand, prime with a bonding primer and finish with a durable cabinet enamel. Most kitchens take about 4–7 working days.
Do you handle commercial painting?
Yes. We paint offices, retail stores, warehouses, restaurants, HOAs and multi-family properties, and schedule after hours or on weekends to avoid disrupting your business.
Will you match my HOA's approved colors?
Yes. Share your HOA or design review approval and we will use the exact approved colors and sheens.
Do you pressure wash before painting?
Yes. Every exterior painting job includes pressure washing and mildew treatment, and surfaces are allowed to dry before primer and paint go on.
How long does it take to paint the interior of a house in Jacksonville?
A single room usually takes one day. A typical 3-bedroom interior (walls only) takes about 3–5 working days depending on ceiling height, color changes, trim and the amount of repair work. Your written estimate includes a schedule.
How often should a house be repainted in Jacksonville, FL?
Most Jacksonville exteriors need repainting every 5–8 years. Homes near the ocean, with dark colors, or with full sun on west and south walls may need it sooner; quality prep and premium acrylic paint push it toward the longer end.
Is it worth painting kitchen cabinets instead of replacing them?
If your cabinet boxes are solid wood or plywood and in good shape, painting gives you a new look for a fraction of the cost of replacement and with far less downtime. Replacement makes more sense if boxes are water-damaged or the layout needs to change.
Can you paint our business after hours?
Yes. We regularly schedule commercial painting in the evenings, overnight or on weekends so your business can stay open during normal hours.
Are you a local Jacksonville painting company?
Yes. Strait Edge Painting LLC is a locally owned company based in Jacksonville, FL — not a franchise — serving Duval, St. Johns, Clay and Nassau counties.
Can you resurface a pool deck without replacing it?
Yes. If the concrete is structurally sound, we clean, repair cracks and apply a new coating that restores color and texture for far less than tearing out and re-pouring.
How often should I pressure wash my house in Jacksonville?
Most Jacksonville homes benefit from a cleaning every 1–2 years. Shaded homes, homes under trees and homes near water may need it yearly to keep mildew and algae under control.
Can you match my existing wall texture?
Yes. We match common Jacksonville textures — knockdown, orange peel and smooth — so the repair blends in after paint.
