Delray Beach is one of Palm Beach County's most walkable cities, known for its vibrant Atlantic Avenue corridor, historic bungalows in the Lake Ida and Del-Ida Park neighborhoods, and beachfront CBS homes that take a beating from salt air and summer storms. KB Painting & Refinishing serves Delray Beach homeowners with our own crews and premium Sherwin-Williams coatings built for South Florida's climate — a team that brings 25+ years of combined painting experience.
Painting Delray’s bungalows, beach homes, and barrier island
Delray Beach packs a lot of different housing into a small footprint. The historic frame-and-stucco bungalows of Del-Ida Park and Lake Ida need patient hand-prep, while the CBS homes of Tropic Isle, Seagate, and Palm Trail sit close enough to the Intracoastal and Atlantic that salt air drives the schedule. Add the storefronts and mixed-use buildings along the Atlantic Avenue corridor and Pineapple Grove Arts District, and you’ve got a city that rewards a painter who reads each substrate instead of running one playbook.
Why coastal Delray repaints come sooner
Within a mile or two of the water — much of the barrier island and the Seagate area — salt-laden humidity works into stucco and wood and breaks paint films down faster than inland homes. Where an inland Delray house might hold eight to ten years, a barrier-island exterior often wants a high-build coating and a five-to-seven-year cycle. UV and the long rainy season pile on, chalking pigment and feeding mildew on shaded walls. We soft wash off the salt film, spot-prime bare surfaces, re-caulk, and finish with a Sherwin-Williams system rated for coastal exposure.
Old stucco needs honest prep
The bungalows in Del-Ida Park and Lake Ida often carry original stucco with hairline cracks and sections that have absorbed decades of moisture. Skipping that repair is the single biggest reason paint fails early in Florida. Our crews patch, prime, and stabilize the substrate first — no painting over failing layers.
A Delray crew you can hold accountable
KB Painting & Refinishing was founded in 2019 by Braiden and Kaylee Smith, and every Delray Beach job is staffed by our own employees, never subcontractors. That’s how we stand behind a five-year workmanship warranty on painting (six months on cabinet refinishing) and keep our 4.9-star rating across 350+ Google reviews. Many Tropic Isle and barrier-island homes need HOA color approval first, and we’ll prepare that documentation for you. Estimates are free and in writing — call our South Florida line at (954) 738-8222.

Common questions
Does KB Painting help with HOA color approval in Delray Beach?
Yes. Many Delray Beach communities — especially in Tropic Isle and the barrier island — require HOA approval before exterior repaints. We provide a free written estimate with the proposed Sherwin-Williams color specs so you have everything you need to submit to your association before we schedule the work.
How does the salt air near the beach affect how often I need to repaint?
Homes within a mile or two of the Atlantic take on salt-laden humidity that degrades paint films faster than inland properties. On Delray Beach barrier island homes and neighborhoods like Seagate, we typically recommend a high-build exterior coating and may suggest repainting every five to seven years rather than the usual eight to ten. Our five-year workmanship warranty applies regardless of location.
Do you handle stucco repairs before painting older Delray Beach bungalows?
We do. The historic bungalows in Del-Ida Park and Lake Ida often have original stucco with hairline cracks or sections that have absorbed moisture over decades. Our crews patch and prep stucco surfaces before any paint goes on — skipping that step is the main reason paint fails early in Florida, and we won't cut corners on it.
