The short answer
CraftEdge Painters paints interiors and exteriors throughout Broward County, from Parkland and Coconut Creek to Fort Lauderdale, Davie, Pembroke Pines and Hollywood. Every job is prepped for the local mix of humidity, sun and salt air.
Broward County stretches from the Everglades edge in the west to the barrier island towns along the Atlantic, and the homes in between face very different conditions. CraftEdge Painters is based in Coral Springs, in the county's northwest corner, and we travel to communities from Parkland and Deerfield Beach in the north down to Hollywood, Miramar and West Park near the Miami-Dade line. The average trip is around thirteen miles, close enough that we can schedule around the weather instead of fighting it.
Inland suburbs versus the coast
West of the turnpike, in places like Weston, Southwest Ranches, Cooper City, Sunrise and Plantation, the main enemies of paint are ultraviolet light and moisture. Walls on the south and west sides fade first, and shaded eaves collect mildew during the rainy months. For these homes we focus on thorough washing, mildew treatment and coatings designed to hold color in strong sun.
Closer to the ocean, in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, Hillsboro Beach, Lighthouse Point, Pompano Beach and Dania Beach, salt is carried on the breeze and settles on railings, garage doors and window frames. Salt left on a surface interferes with adhesion, so coastal exteriors get an extra fresh-water rinse, and any rust on metal is addressed with a primer made for it before finish paint goes on.
Concrete block, stucco and condo buildings
Much of the county's housing is concrete block covered in stucco, from older ranch homes in Lauderhill, Lauderdale Lakes, Oakland Park and Wilton Manors to newer developments in Miramar and Pembroke Pines. Stucco breathes, holds moisture after a storm and develops small settling cracks over time.
Townhome and condo communities usually have color rules and approval steps set by the association. We can help you pull together color codes and product sheets for the board's review.
- Pressure washing to remove chalk, dirt and algae
- Crack filling with flexible patching material
- Masonry primer on bare or repaired stucco
- Elastomeric coatings where hairline cracking keeps returning
Timing a project in Broward
The wet season from May through October brings frequent afternoon thunderstorms, so exterior crews start early and plan to have fresh coats protected before the clouds build. Hurricane season runs from June 1 through November 30, and many owners prefer to finish exterior work in the drier months between November and April. Interior jobs in Tamarac, Margate, North Lauderdale or Broadview Park can be booked any time of year.
What we handle around the county
Our crews take on full exterior repaints, interior rooms, kitchen cabinet refinishing, trim and baseboards, drywall patching, popcorn ceiling removal, pressure washing, and staining for wood decks and fences. Homeowners in Fort Lauderdale, Davie, Coconut Creek and Pembroke Park often combine a washing visit with an exterior repaint so the surface is ready on the same schedule.
