Hobe Sound is a quiet, upscale coastal community in Martin County, known for its proximity to Jupiter Island, its canopy-lined streets, and a mix of estate homes and Old Florida bungalows. The salt air and intense sun here put a real strain on exterior paint and stucco finishes. KB Painting & Refinishing serves Hobe Sound with the same crew-employed, no-subcontractor approach — backed by a team with over 25 years of combined hands-on painting experience.
Painting Hobe Sound’s estates and Old Florida bungalows
Hobe Sound keeps a quiet, canopy-lined character that hides a wide range of homes. The exclusive estates of Jupiter Island and the riverside homes of Gomez and North Fork sit close to the water, while the planned communities of Lost Lake, Heritage Ridge, and the Pines at Hobe Sound run on HOA architectural rules, and the cottages near Hobe Sound Beach carry that Old Florida charm. Estate homes and bungalows are different jobs — and the salt air near the beach and Jupiter Island moves prep to the top of the list for many of them.
Coastal salt and intense sun
Homes within a mile or two of the water see paint and caulk degrade faster as salt-laden moisture works into stucco and wood. We prep accordingly — soft washing off the chloride film, paying close attention to caulking at windows, doors, and every penetration where salt air finds a way in, spot-priming bare surfaces, then applying a Sherwin-Williams coating rated for coastal exposure. A properly prepped and primed exterior in this environment can realistically hold six to eight years. Inland Hobe Sound homes under the heavy canopy fight mildew on shaded walls more than salt, and we treat that at the source.
HOA review without the wait
Heritage Ridge, Lost Lake, and most Hobe Sound communities run architectural review before exterior work begins. We provide the color specifications, product data sheets, and written scope your board needs, and we’ve moved enough Martin County approvals through committee to keep your project from sitting idle waiting on a vote.
Year-round, on your schedule
KB Painting & Refinishing was founded in 2019 by Braiden and Kaylee Smith, and every Hobe Sound job is staffed by our own employees — never subcontractors. That backs our five-year workmanship warranty on painting (six months on cabinet refinishing) and our 4.9-star rating across 350+ Google reviews. We work Hobe Sound year-round; exterior schedules tighten from October through April when the weather is driest, so booking ahead in that window is smart. Estimates are free and in writing — call our Treasure Coast team at (772) 222-3227.

Common questions
Do you handle HOA color approval for homes in Hobe Sound communities like Heritage Ridge or Lost Lake?
Yes. Many Hobe Sound neighborhoods have HOA architectural review requirements before exterior work begins. We provide the color specifications, product data sheets, and written scope your HOA needs. We've worked through similar approvals across Martin County and know how to keep the process moving so your project doesn't sit waiting on committee.
How does the salt air near Hobe Sound Beach and Jupiter Island affect how often I need to repaint?
Homes within a mile or two of the water typically see paint and caulk degrade faster due to salt-laden moisture working into stucco and wood surfaces. We use Sherwin-Williams products rated for coastal exposure and pay close attention to caulking at windows, doors, and penetrations where salt air finds its way in. A properly prepped and primed exterior in this environment can realistically hold for six to eight years.
How far in advance should I schedule, and do you work in Hobe Sound year-round?
We work in Hobe Sound year-round. Exterior work schedules tightest from October through April when the weather is drier and more predictable, so booking a few weeks out during that window is smart. Summer scheduling is more flexible, though we plan around afternoon storms. We'll give you a free written estimate and lock in your date so there are no surprises.
