Painter in Miami, FL - Vinicio Painting Since 1999

If your home sits inside a designated Miami historic district (Coconut Grove, Morningside, Spring Garden, Buena Vista, and a few smaller blocks), then yes - exterior paint color requires a Certificate of Appropriateness from the City of Miami Historic and Environmental Preservation Board (HEPB). If the color was previously approved for the district, HP staff approves it administratively. If it's a new or previously unapproved color, it goes to the board for review. We file the COA application and manage the process from submittal through approval.

If your home was built before 1978, yes - probably on the trim, casings, doors, and exterior wood. Lead-based paint was federally banned for residential use in 1978. Most of Coconut Grove, Little Havana, Allapattah, the older Coral Way and Shenandoah blocks, and Morningside fall in that window. We use lead-safe work practices on every pre-1978 surface we touch. Our EPA RRP firm certification is in place, so we contain the dust, protect your family, and clean up to federal standard on every job.

Since the post-Surfside reforms, Miami-Dade's building recertification (historically the 40-year recertification) starts when a condo or co-op reaches 30 years - or 25 years within three miles of the coast - then every 10 years, covering structural and electrical safety. Florida's separate statewide milestone structural inspection runs on the same 25-to-30-year clock for buildings three stories and taller. The engineer's report flags concrete spalling, corroded rebar, and waterproofing failures. We don't perform the inspection itself, but we handle the repair‑and‑recoat work that follows and coordinate directly with your engineer of record.

Single-tower exterior repaint typically runs 6 to 12 weeks depending on building height, scope, and weather windows. We work in 2- to 3-week swing-stage passes per elevation, coordinating with the condo board on resident notifications, balcony access, and after-hours noise restrictions. Salt-air-rated elastomeric paint, two-coat finish, chloride-resistant primers. Hurricane season planning is bake

Yes. We schedule occupied tower interior repaints with night and weekend work windows so the unit stays livable while we work. Plastic-and-mask containment is standard, low-VOC paints by request, and we coordinate with the building's loading-dock and freight-elevator schedule. Same-day cleanup at the end of each shift so the space is usable overnight.
