Expert Exterior Painting Services for a Beautiful, Long-Lasting Finish Protect & Enhance Your Home with High-Quality Exterior Paintwork
GEM Painting & Trim has more than 35 years of family painting experience, and exterior work is where that experience really shows. We start with thorough prep, working through pressure washing, scraping, sanding, caulking, and priming, so the coating bonds to a clean, sound surface. Then we apply premium weather-resistant Sherwin-Williams paint built to take what Florida throws at it.
The result is a durable, even finish that protects your siding, stucco, trim, and fascia while lifting curb appeal. And because exterior coatings perform differently from one another, your warranty is tied to the product line you choose. There is more on that below.

House Exterior Painting
A full exterior repaint does two jobs at once. It changes how your home reads from the street, and it puts a protective barrier back over surfaces that have been taking sun and rain for years. We use weather-resistant Sherwin-Williams coatings so both of those hold. Homeowners searching for exterior painters in Winter Park almost always start with a repaint like this one.
Pressure Washing & Surface Prep
Every exterior job starts here. We pressure wash the surfaces to strip away dirt, mildew, and failing paint, because a coating applied over any of those will lift within a season or two. Clean, sound substrate is what makes the rest of the work worth paying for. The same prep discipline carries into our commercial painting work, where a failed coating means repainting an occupied building.
Garage Door Painting
A freshly painted garage door can significantly boost your home’s curb appeal. We use high-quality, durable paint to give your garage door a clean, polished look that enhances the overall appearance of your home.
Siding Painting
We paint wood, aluminum, and Hardie board siding, prepping each one for what it actually is rather than treating them alike. The finish comes out smooth and even, and it shields the siding from moisture and UV damage instead of just covering it up. We handle the same siding work for exterior painting in Longwood and the neighboring Seminole County towns.
Stucco Painting
Stucco is the most common exterior surface we work on in Central Florida, and it needs more care than most homeowners expect. We repair cracks and prepare the surface properly before coating, which is what stops peeling and hairline cracking from coming straight back through the new paint. It accounts for most of our stucco painting in Maitland work.
Pool Deck & Lanai Painting
Pool decks and lanais take sun, standing water, and constant foot traffic, which is more than standard exterior coatings are built for. We apply durable, slip-resistant finishes made for that environment, and we repair cracks in the deck surface as part of the work where they need attention. Screened enclosures and pool decks are a standing part of what we handle across the Winter Park area.
Shutter Painting
Shutters are one of the cheapest ways to change how a house looks. We prep and coat them for a smooth, even finish that keeps its color through Florida sun rather than fading to a chalky version of what you chose.
Trim & Fascia Painting
Trim and fascia are where an exterior job gets judged, because the lines are sharp and any wobble shows. We cut clean and coat with durable products, and where the wood underneath has softened we deal with that first rather than painting over it. Soft fascia is one of the most common calls we get for exterior house painting in Altamonte Springs.
Exterior Painting Problems We Fix Every Day
Most exterior calls come from the same handful of Florida-specific headaches. Here's what we hear, and how we handle it.
-
My paint is fading and chalking after just a few years.
That is UV damage combined with lower-grade product. We use premium UV-resistant coatings and do the prep properly, so the color holds far longer than the last job did.
-
There's peeling and bubbling on my stucco.
Usually a moisture or prep issue rather than a paint issue. We address the surface first, cleaning, repairing, and priming, so the problem does not reappear through the new coat.
-
I'm seeing mildew and dark streaks on the walls.
Florida humidity is brutal on exteriors, especially on shaded walls. We pressure wash and treat the surfaces before painting, then use mildew-resistant products.
-
My trim and fascia are showing wood rot.
Paint will not fix rotted wood. We repair or replace the damaged trim first and then coat it. See our carpentry services for that side of the work.
-
The last crew painted over dirt and it failed fast.
Skipping prep is the single biggest reason exterior paint fails early. We never shortcut the wash, the scrape, or the prime, and that is why our finishes last.
