Stuart's historic downtown, waterfront bungalows, and CBS homes along the St. Lucie River face relentless sun, salt air, and Florida humidity that age paint faster than most homeowners expect. KB Painting & Refinishing serves Stuart and Martin County with our own employees, Sherwin-Williams products, and a 5-year workmanship warranty.
Painting Stuart’s downtown and riverfront homes
Stuart wears its history on its facades. The waterfront bungalows and storefronts of Downtown Stuart, the riverside homes of Rio and the gated estates of Sewall’s Point, and the CBS homes stretching toward Port Salerno, Jensen Beach, Hobe Sound, and Palm City all sit close to the St. Lucie River — which means salt air and humidity drive the timeline. Older downtown homes often carry wood trim and original detailing that need patient hand-prep, while the newer CBS and stucco construction asks for a different approach. We match the system to the substrate rather than rolling one coat over everything.
Why riverfront Stuart repaints sooner
Homes within a mile or two of the St. Lucie River or the coast typically need exterior repaints every five to seven years, against the seven-to-ten you’d see well inland. Salt air accelerates oxidation and causes paint to chalk and peel faster, especially on the south- and west-facing walls that take direct afternoon sun. We factor that into product selection — 100% acrylic exterior coatings with mildew-resistant additives — and into prep, soft washing off the salt film, patching stucco, re-caulking, and spot-priming bare block before the finish goes on.
Sewall’s Point and downtown approvals
Many Stuart communities — Sewall’s Point and the gated riverfront neighborhoods especially — require HOA color approval before exterior work. Downtown historic properties can carry extra review steps. We provide color samples, written paint specs, and product data sheets so your board can sign off, and we don’t schedule prep until written approval is in hand.
A Martin County crew you can hold to it
KB Painting & Refinishing was founded in 2019 by Braiden and Kaylee Smith, and every Stuart job is staffed by our own employees — never subcontractors. That’s what backs our five-year workmanship warranty on painting (six months on cabinet refinishing) and our 4.9-star rating across 350+ Google reviews. We cover all of Martin County, including Port Salerno, Hobe Sound, Jensen Beach, Palm City, Rio, and Sewall’s Point. Estimates are free and in writing — call our Treasure Coast team at (772) 222-3227.

Common questions
Do you handle HOA color approval paperwork in Stuart?
Yes. Many Stuart communities — especially in Sewall's Point and gated neighborhoods along the river — require HOA approval before exterior painting. We provide color samples, written paint specs, and product data sheets your HOA board needs to sign off. We won't schedule prep or painting until you have written approval in hand.
How does Stuart's salt air and humidity affect how often I should repaint?
Homes within a mile or two of the St. Lucie River or the coast typically need exterior repaints every 5–7 years rather than the 7–10 years you'd see inland. Salt air accelerates oxidation and causes paint to chalk and peel faster, especially on south- and west-facing surfaces that take direct afternoon sun. We factor that in when we recommend products — 100% acrylic exterior paints with mildew-resistant additives hold up significantly better in Martin County's climate.
Do you serve all of Martin County, including Port Salerno and Hobe Sound?
Yes. Our Treasure Coast crews cover all of Martin County, including Port Salerno, Hobe Sound, Jensen Beach, Palm City, Rio, and Sewall's Point, as well as neighboring St. Lucie County. We offer free written estimates and can typically schedule an on-site visit within a few business days.
