First Impressions Start Before Guests Unlock the Door

Full Service STR provides exterior painting and cosmetic improvements for rental properties in Pinellas County.

When your rental property in Pinellas County shows faded trim, peeling paint near the garage, or shutters that no longer match the siding, guests form opinions before they step inside. Exterior condition affects booking decisions, guest reviews, and resale value. Full Service STR handles painting and visual upgrades that restore curb appeal and help your property compete in crowded rental markets.

This service includes surface preparation, minor repairs to wood or stucco, priming, and finish coats selected for Florida humidity and sun exposure. The work often pairs with landscaping and cleanup services to complete the exterior refresh in one scheduled visit. The goal is to make your property stand out in listing photos and deliver the condition guests expect when they arrive.

If your rental in Pinellas County needs exterior work before your next guest checks in, contact us to schedule an assessment and estimate.

How Exterior Work Changes Guest Perception

The crew inspects all painted surfaces in Pinellas County and identifies areas where moisture, sun, or age have damaged the finish. Loose paint is scraped, cracks are filled, wood is sanded, and metal fixtures are cleaned or replaced. Primer is applied where bare material shows, and finish coats are rolled and brushed to cover evenly without drips or missed edges.

After the work is complete, your property photographs clearly, the entrance looks maintained, and guests stop mentioning exterior wear in reviews. The paint holds up longer because the preparation was done correctly, and you avoid having to repaint sections annually.

The service includes color consultation if needed, masking of windows and fixtures, and cleanup of paint chips and debris. It does not include structural repairs, roof work, or replacements beyond basic trim and fascia boards. If your property management plan includes landscaping, both services can be coordinated to reduce the number of site visits.

Answers to questions about timing and finish

Owners typically ask how weather affects the schedule, what colors last longest in Florida, and whether they need to be present during the work.

How long does exterior painting take?
Most single-family rentals are prepped and painted within three to five days, depending on size and the number of coats required. You receive a start date after weather and availability are confirmed.
What happens if it rains during the project?
Work pauses if rain is forecast within the drying window for primer or topcoats. The crew reschedules the remaining work for the next clear day to prevent moisture from compromising the finish.
Why do some exterior paints fail faster in Pinellas County?
High humidity, direct sun, and salt air break down cheaper paints and cause peeling or fading within two years. Full Service STR uses paints formulated for coastal Florida conditions to extend the life of the finish.
When should I repaint instead of power washing?
If the paint is chalking, peeling, or no longer adhering to the substrate, washing will not restore the appearance. Repainting becomes necessary when the protective layer is compromised and the underlying material is exposed.
What cosmetic improvements are included beyond painting?
The service covers minor wood repairs, shutter replacement, fixture cleaning, and trim touch-ups that improve the overall appearance. Larger repairs such as siding replacement or structural fixes are quoted separately.
