A Painting Contractor Who Respects Old Fernandina
Fernandina Beach is not a place where a fast spray-and-go paint job makes sense. The downtown historic district along Centre Street holds brick commercial buildings and wood-frame homes from the late 1800s, when the port and the railroad made this one of the busiest towns in Florida. Painting and Property Solutions approaches these buildings the way they deserve: slow, careful prep, the right primer for old wood, and trim lines you can be proud of when neighbors walk by.
We handle interior painting in Fernandina Beach for tall-ceilinged parlors, staircases with turned balusters and kitchens that have been updated more than once. Outside, we take on exterior painting in Fernandina Beach for clapboard siding, wraparound porches, gingerbread trim and the shutters and doors that give each house its personality. Owner Gus walks every project, explains what he sees and puts the plan in a free written estimate before anyone opens a can of paint.
The town also has plenty of newer homes on the south end and along the marsh, and those get the same attention. Whether you need drywall repair in Fernandina Beach after a roof leak, popcorn ceilings taken down in a 1970s ranch, or a full repaint before listing a home, we work clean, protect your floors and furniture and keep you informed in English or Spanish from the first visit to the final walkthrough.

Homes & Climate
Old Wood, River Air and Island Weather
Many downtown houses are built of old-growth heart pine and cypress, wood that is dense and durable but often carries decades of paint layers underneath. Some of those layers may contain lead, so on pre-1978 homes we follow lead-safe practices: containment, careful hand scraping and cleanup instead of aggressive sanding that spreads dust. Where boards are soft, we replace or consolidate them before priming so the new finish has something solid to grip.
Fernandina sits between the Amelia River and the Atlantic, so humidity, salt-laden breezes and summer storms are part of every exterior plan. Mildew grows fast on north-facing walls and under porch ceilings, and the sun on south and west elevations bakes oil-based trim until it cracks. We clean and treat mildew first, choose breathable, high-quality acrylic coatings for wood siding and schedule work around the afternoon thunderstorms that roll in from June through September.
Good to Know in Fernandina Beach
Working Within the Downtown Historic District Guidelines
The City of Fernandina Beach has design guidelines for its downtown historic district, and exterior alterations to contributing structures, including materials, signage and paint on contributing commercial buildings, can require review before work begins. Requirements depend on the property and the scope, so we always recommend confirming with the city planning office first.
We understand how this process works and can help you navigate it: photographing existing conditions, documenting proposed colors and products and keeping the schedule realistic while the review runs. Approval is always the city's decision, but good paperwork makes the conversation much easier.

Call or text us — we are happy to talk through your project in English or Spanish.
(904) 674-7547Do I need approval to repaint my house in the Fernandina Beach historic district?
It depends on the property and what you change. The city's design guidelines cover exterior alterations to contributing structures in the downtown district, and paint on contributing commercial buildings is specifically addressed. Check with the city planning office before you start. We can prepare photos, color samples and product information to support your application.
How do you handle lead paint on an older Fernandina home?
Any home built before 1978 may have lead in older paint layers. We contain the work area, avoid dry power sanding, use hand scraping and wet methods and clean up thoroughly each day. If you want certainty, a lead test before the job tells you exactly what is on the walls and trim.
How often should a wood-sided home in Fernandina Beach be repainted?
Wood siding near the river and ocean usually needs attention sooner than stucco inland. Many homeowners plan a full exterior repaint every several years, with touch-ups and washing in between. South and west walls tend to fail first, so we check those closely during the free estimate.
Can you paint a downtown storefront without closing my business?
Usually, yes. We plan the work in sections, keep the entrance open and safe and can start early in the morning before Centre Street gets busy. We talk through your hours and deliveries during the estimate so the schedule fits the way your shop actually runs.
