Fort Lauderdale's 300+ miles of inland waterways mean homes in Las Olas Isles, Rio Vista, and Victoria Park face constant salt air, humidity, and heat that wear paint and coatings fast. KB Painting & Refinishing serves Broward County homeowners with our own crews — no subcontractors — and premium Sherwin-Williams products built for Florida's climate, drawing on the crew's 25+ years of combined hands-on South Florida painting experience.
Painting the Venice of America’s waterfront homes
Fort Lauderdale’s 300-plus miles of inland waterways put more homes on the water here than almost anywhere in Florida — and that’s the defining challenge for paint. The finger isles of Las Olas Isles, the boating estates of Rio Vista and Harbor Beach, and the historic homes of Victoria Park, Colee Hammock, and Sailboat Bend all sit in constant contact with salt air. Coral Ridge rounds out a city where canal frontage is the rule, not the exception, and where exterior coatings work harder than they would three miles inland.
Salt air sets the repaint clock
On canal-front and coastal Fort Lauderdale homes, paint and caulking typically break down in five to seven years rather than the ten you’d expect inland. Salt accelerates oxidation, lifts caulk at window and door joints, and works into any unsealed crack in stucco or CBS block. The defense is methodical prep: soft washing to clear the chloride and biofilm, spot-priming bare substrate, re-caulking every failed joint, and then a Sherwin-Williams exterior system rated for high-humidity coastal exposure. We pay special attention to the water-facing elevations, which take the brunt of it.
Historic districts, modern standards
Victoria Park and Sailboat Bend carry older homes with wood trim, original detailing, and layers of past paint that need careful scraping and spot-priming — not a quick recoat. We prep to the substrate so the finish bonds and lasts, and we match the right product to wood versus stucco rather than rolling one coating over everything.
Your crew, accountable from estimate to last coat
KB Painting & Refinishing was founded in 2019 by Braiden and Kaylee Smith, and we send our own employees to every Fort Lauderdale job — never subcontractors. That’s what lets us guarantee a consistent finish and back exterior work with a five-year workmanship warranty (six months on cabinet refinishing). Many Victoria Park, Harbor Beach, and barrier-island communities require HOA color approval first, and we’ll build that submission with you. Estimates are free and in writing, and Broward homeowners have helped earn our 4.9-star rating across 350+ Google reviews. Call (954) 738-8222 to schedule.

Matthew D. 5.0 ★
My wife and i just bought a house in Fort Lauderdale but we didn't like the colors of the interior, so we had KB Painting apply a complete new makeover and they nailed it! Looks better than we imagined as we are beyond satisfied with their A+ work!

Common questions
Does KB Painting handle HOA color approval for Fort Lauderdale neighborhoods?
Yes. Many Fort Lauderdale communities — particularly in Victoria Park, Harbor Beach, and the barrier island — require HOA approval before an exterior repaint. We provide written color proposals and can supply paint chip samples or digital renderings to support your HOA submission. We start work only after you have written approval in hand.
How does Fort Lauderdale's salt air and humidity affect how often I should repaint?
Canal-front and coastal properties in Fort Lauderdale typically see paint and caulking break down faster than inland homes — often every 5 to 7 years rather than 10. Salt air accelerates oxidation and peels caulk at window and door joints. We use Sherwin-Williams products rated for high-humidity coastal exposure, and our 5-year workmanship warranty covers any adhesion or peeling issues that show up on our watch.
Do you paint the high-rise condos and mid-rise buildings along Fort Lauderdale Beach and the New River?
We focus on single-family homes, townhomes, and low-rise residential properties throughout Fort Lauderdale and Broward County. If your project is a detached home, villa, or small multi-unit residential building, we are a good fit. For large commercial high-rise exteriors we are happy to discuss scope during your free written estimate so you know upfront whether we are the right crew for the job.
