West Palm Beach, FL
Painters in West Palm Beach. Historic homes done right.
From El Cid Mediterranean Revival estates to Old Northwood Craftsman bungalows — WPB's historic neighborhoods need painters who know what they're looking at. 25 years of finishing the city's housing.
Historic homes need historic-aware painters.
West Palm Beach is the county seat and the historic heart of Palm Beach County housing. Six neighborhoods are on the National Register of Historic Places. El Cid. Old Northwood. Flamingo Park. Prospect Park. Grandview Heights. Most of those homes were built in the 1920s during the Florida Land Boom — original Mediterranean Revival, Spanish Mission, and Craftsman bungalows.
These houses need painters who understand them. Painting a 1923 Mediterranean Revival isn't the same as painting a 2010 stucco tract home. The plaster walls don't take modern paint the same way drywall does. The wood trim has 100 years of paint layers that need stripping back. The original window casings, if salvageable, need brushed enamel work that's increasingly rare. We do that work.
But WPB also has SoSo (Southend), Northwood Shores, the new downtown high-rises, and the modern construction in Villages of Palm Beach Lakes. Whatever your house, we've worked one like it. Bilingual English and Spanish. Fully insured. Same crew on every job.
Where we work in West Palm Beach.
Historic districts to modern high-rises — from Currie Park down to the Lake Worth spillway.
El Cid
National Register historic district. 1920s Mediterranean Revival and Mission-style homes on the Intracoastal. Plaster walls, original tile roofs, wrought-iron details. We paint these carefully.
Old Northwood
WPB's first historic district (1991). 300+ historic structures. Craftsman bungalows, Frame Vernacular, Mission-style. The neighborhood that started the city's historic preservation movement.
Flamingo Park
1920s Mediterranean and Mission architecture, brick-paved streets, mature trees. National Register district. We know the HOA-approved exterior color palette.
Prospect Park & Southland Park
South of downtown, large lots, big historic homes. Mediterranean Revival and Mission. Less common but high-quality work when we get the call.
SoSo (Southend)
South of Southern Boulevard. Mid-century ranches, Bermuda-style, modern new builds, waterfront mansions. 8 miles along the Intracoastal.
Grandview Heights
1920s Spanish, Craftsman, and bungalow influences. Smaller homes than El Cid but the same era and architectural pedigree.
Northwood Shores & Northwood Hills
Adjacent to Old Northwood, more affordable, ongoing restoration. Eclectic mix of historic and updated homes.
Villages of Palm Beach Lakes
Modern construction (1980s+). Family neighborhoods, predictable repaint cycles, less prep-intensive than the historic districts.
Downtown high-rises
Bristol, The Ben, newer condo towers. Interior-only work; HOA-managed exteriors. Specialty fixtures, custom finishes.
What we typically do in WPB.
Historic homes are most of our calls here, but it's not all we do.
Historic exterior repaints
1920s Mediterranean Revival stucco, original wood trim, tile-roof flashing repainting. Pressure wash gentle, repair first, premium acrylic latex two coats.
Plaster wall interior work
Older WPB homes have plaster, not drywall. Different prep, different paints. We don't treat it like drywall — that's how original plaster gets ruined.
Trim & window casing restoration
Original wood trim with 90+ years of paint layers. We strip, sand, prime, brush by hand. The patient work historic homes deserve.
Mediterranean stucco repair
Hairline cracks in 100-year-old stucco need elastomeric filler before painting — otherwise they telegraph back through. Cracks become character if you do it right.
HOA submission & color matching
El Cid, Flamingo Park, Old Northwood all have approved palettes. We handle submission and exact color matching.
Downtown condo interiors
Bristol, The Ben, Townsend Place, Mizner Grand. Interior-only work, building access coordination, working around occupants.
Historic preservation — we respect it.
El Cid, Old Northwood, and Flamingo Park are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. What that means practically: any exterior color change requires HOA submission. Original architectural details (tile roofs, stucco textures, window casings) shouldn't be modified. The painters working these neighborhoods need to know what they're allowed to do and what they're not.
We've been working WPB historic districts for 25 years. We know the difference between paint that helps a 1923 home and paint that hurts it. Original lime-based stucco doesn't take the same products as modern Portland-cement stucco. Old plaster walls need different prep than drywall. Original wood windows need brushed enamel, not sprayed.
On the modern side, we work the downtown high-rise interiors and the newer west-side communities. Same crew, same standards, different products for different surfaces. We don't apply historic-restoration prep to a 2018 condo, and we don't apply 2018 condo prep to a 1923 historic home. Right product, right prep, every time.

Common questions from WPB homeowners.
Do you work on historic homes in El Cid, Flamingo Park, and Old Northwood?
Yes — that's a lot of what we do in WPB. We respect the architectural details, use products appropriate to original lime stucco and plaster walls, and handle HOA color submission for exterior repaints. Historic homes need painters who know what they're looking at — we are.
How much does a historic exterior repaint cost in West Palm Beach?
1920s Mediterranean Revival or Mission-style homes typically run $7,000–$15,000 for full exterior, depending on size, condition of stucco, and how much wood trim restoration is needed. Larger El Cid estates run higher. Flat written estimate after walking the job.
Can you paint over plaster walls?
Yes — carefully. Old plaster is more porous than drywall and needs the right primer. We don't sand plaster aggressively (it can damage the historic surface) and we use breathable paints that don't trap moisture. This is one of the differences between historic-aware painters and contractors who don't know what they're working on.
Do you handle HOA submission for historic district exteriors?
Yes. We provide color samples, documentation, and the paperwork most historic district HOAs require. We've worked with El Cid, Old Northwood, and Flamingo Park associations many times.
Do you also work in modern downtown condos?
Yes — condos in Bristol, Townsend Place, The Ben, and the newer towers. Interior-only (HOA manages exteriors). We coordinate building access and work around your schedule.
Are you fully insured for historic and high-value properties?
Yes — general liability coverage with certificates available on request. Required for entry to most historic district HOAs and downtown buildings.
