Victorian wood siding and trim
Downtown and Old Town homes often have wood siding, porches and detailed trim. Loose paint is scraped, soft wood flagged for repair and bare wood primed so the finish coat lasts.

Exterior Painting in Fernandina Beach
What Fernandina Beach property owners should know
Get the color approved first
In the local historic districts, exterior paint needs a staff-level Certificate of Approval. Once you have it, we schedule the job; outside the districts, colors are your choice or your HOA's.
Beach-side stucco and metal
Closer to the ocean, stucco chalks and metal railings rust. Washing, crack filling, rust-inhibiting primer and dry weather windows matter more than the brand of paint.

Exterior Painting in Fernandina Beach: FAQ
What colors can I use on a historic Fernandina Beach house?
Colors in the historic districts are reviewed by city staff against the historic district guidelines. The Community Development Department can direct you to appropriate color choices before you apply.
Why wash a house before exterior painting near the beach?
Salt film and mildew stop paint from bonding, which leads to early peeling. Washing them off is the first step of every Fernandina Beach exterior job.
Is lead paint a concern on older Fernandina Beach exteriors?
On homes built before 1978, disturbing more than 20 square feet of exterior paint brings the EPA Renovation, Repair and Painting Rule into play, which requires lead-safe work practices.
