Direct salt spray
Homes facing the Atlantic take wind-driven salt on every surface. Washing it off before paint, and priming bare spots, is the most important step for a lasting finish.

What Amelia Island property owners should know
Metal railings and fixtures
Railings, light fixtures, fasteners and flashing oxidize quickly. Loose rust is removed and a rust-inhibiting primer applied before the finish coat.
ARB and association colors

How is oceanfront exterior painting different on Amelia Island?
It needs more prep: washing off salt, treating rust on metal and priming bare surfaces, plus calm, dry weather for application.

Yes. Stucco is washed, cracks are filled and the surface is primed where needed before it is back-rolled or sprayed for full coverage.
Will you work with my Amelia Island Plantation ARB approval?
Yes. Share your approved colors and any conditions, and we schedule and paint to match them.
