Project Description

This residential repaint project was completed in Windermere, Florida, on a beautiful single-family home that had started to show visible signs of aging. The Florida sun and humidity had taken their toll, leaving streaky water stains on the stucco, dulling the original white finish, and causing the trim and shutters to fade into the background. The house had solid bones and great curb appeal potential—but the weathering had left it looking tired and washed out.

Sharper Impressions Orlando was brought in to clean, treat, seal, and repaint the home’s exterior in a way that both restored and elevated its appearance. The job involved treating the stained stucco, re-caulking compromised joints, and completely refreshing the color palette. The new color scheme—Sherwin-Williams Dockside Blue for the body, Extra White for the trim, and Latte for the shutters—was hand-selected to bring contrast, balance, and sophistication to the exterior.

The total project took three days to complete from start to finish and included multiple rounds of washing, prepping, and painting to ensure long-lasting, weather-resistant results. As always, we offered a free estimate upfront, tailoring our quote to the specific needs of the home.

Background/Story:

This homeowner knew it was time for a refresh. Every time they pulled into the driveway, they saw more of what was wrong than what they once loved about the house. Streaks under the windows, especially prominent on the light stucco, were becoming impossible to ignore. Those stains weren’t just cosmetic—they were the visual effect of Florida’s moisture-rich air, poor runoff from the windows, and fading paint that no longer offered proper protection.

They reached out to Sharper Impressions Orlando looking for professional help, but also for vision. They didn’t just want a new coat of paint—they wanted to breathe life back into the home. After our initial consultation, we proposed a new color direction: a cooler blue body with bright white trim and warm, earthy shutters to anchor the look.

The transformation wasn’t just about color. It was about preserving the home, keeping the Florida elements out, and bringing out the best in its architectural lines. From that first walkthrough, the homeowner felt confident in our approach. And over the course of the project, they saw that our execution matched our promise.

Scope of Services

• Power Washing: Thoroughly cleaned all stucco surfaces to remove dirt, mildew, and contaminants that could interfere with paint adhesion.
• Stucco Stain Treatment: Treated all visible water streaks and mineral deposits beneath the windows to prevent future bleed-through and ensure a smooth finish.
• Caulking & Sealing: Identified and sealed all gaps around windows, trim, and joints to improve moisture resistance and prolong the life of the paint.
• Trim Detail Repairs: Made minor surface repairs to trim boards to ensure uniform paint coverage and eliminate visible imperfections.
• Exterior Repaint – Stucco & Trim: Applied Sherwin-Williams paint in three distinct colors to the stucco body, all exterior trim, and decorative shutters using brush and roller for clean, controlled lines.
• Final Detailing & Clean-Up: Reviewed the work with the homeowner, performed final touch-ups, and left the site spotless and polished.

Results:

By the time the final coat dried, this home in Windermere didn’t just look better—it looked new again. The stucco was clean, the water stains were gone, and the updated color palette made the entire house feel more vibrant and inviting. Dockside Blue gave the home a rich, coastal-inspired base, while Extra White trim defined each architectural edge. But what truly brought it all together were the Latte shutters, offering just the right amount of warmth and contrast.

The homeowner was thrilled.

“It looks like a completely different house—and in the best way possible. We love pulling into the driveway now. The new colors feel modern and clean, but still warm and welcoming. Thank you to Sharper Impressions Orlando for helping us fall in love with our home again.”

This project proved how even modest changes—when backed by thoughtful design, expert preparation, and quality products—can have a major impact. At Sharper Impressions Orlando, we’re not just changing colors. We’re restoring pride in your home.
