Common questions, honest answers.
How much does it cost to paint a house across Greater Orange County?
Interior: $2,000–$5,000+ for a typical single-family home depending on square footage, number of rooms, ceiling height, and surface condition. Exterior: $3,500–$8,000+ depending on siding type, square footage, and prep required (stucco, wood siding, and two-story homes cost more). Cabinet painting runs $2,500–$5,000 for an average kitchen. ER'S Color Solutions provides free on-site estimates — no hidden fees, no surprises on the day.
Are you licensed and insured in Florida?
Yes. ER'S Color Solutions is fully licensed and insured. Certificates of insurance are available on request for property managers, landlords, and HOA boards. All crew members are employees, not subcontractors, and covered by workers' comp — no liability to the homeowner.
Do you require a deposit?
ER'S Color Solutions doesn't require deposits on most residential jobs. Commercial projects and large multifamily repaints may require a deposit or progress payments. Ethan discusses payment terms upfront when you get the estimate.
Can you paint stucco homes?
Yes. Stucco is the dominant exterior finish across Greater Orange County. ER'S Color Solutions uses elastomeric coatings formulated for Florida's heat, UV exposure, and humidity. Prep includes pressure washing, crack repair with elastomeric caulk, and priming bare spots. Two coats minimum.
Can you paint year-round in the area?
Yes. Florida's climate allows exterior painting year-round. October through May offers the most consistent conditions. June through September is rainy season — manageable with morning scheduling and weather monitoring. No winter shutdowns.
How long does it take to paint the interior of a house?
Most single-family interiors take 2-4 days depending on square footage, ceiling height, and how much furniture needs moving. Larger homes or homes with vaulted ceilings take longer. Cabinet painting adds 3-5 days. Commercial interiors depend on square footage and whether the crew is working after hours.
How long does exterior paint last in Florida?
Elastomeric coatings on stucco last 7-10 years if applied correctly. Standard acrylic on wood or Hardie board lasts 5-7 years. South and west-facing walls fade faster due to UV exposure. Darker colors absorb more heat and may need repainting sooner.
Do you use subcontractors?
No. ER'S Color Solutions uses only employees — no subs. Ethan runs every job himself. This gives the shop more control over quality and scheduling, and all crew members are covered by workers' comp with no liability to the homeowner.
What kind of paint do you use?
ER'S Color Solutions uses Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore products. Low-VOC and no-VOC options are standard for occupied homes, medical offices, and schools. Elastomeric coatings for stucco. Acrylic latex for wood and Hardie board. Bonding primer for cabinets and slick surfaces.
Do you paint vacation rentals and short-term rentals?
Yes. Greater Orange County has a large vacation rental market. Fast-turnaround repaints are common in the area. A typical vacation home repaint (walls and trim) takes 2-3 days if the unit is empty and prepped.
What's included in a free estimate?
On-site inspection, scope of work, labor and material costs, product options, and timeline. No hidden fees. ER'S Color Solutions provides written proposals within 24-72 hours. Ethan discusses references and proof of insurance if it's a commercial job.
Do I need to move furniture before you start?
ER'S Color Solutions moves furniture to the center of rooms and covers it. You should remove small items, wall hangings, and anything fragile. If you have large furniture that can't be moved easily, the crew works around it. Communicate upfront if you have special concerns.
