What changes when you paint east of A1A
Salt spray reaches a long way inland. On Ocean Hammock homes we see the same mildew patterns, the same metal corrosion, and the same chalking on south and east elevations as we do on the direct-front houses. The fix is the same too: better paint, better prep, and a maintenance pass on the worst-exposed wall halfway through the repaint cycle.
Hurricane strap and connector touch-ups
Every time we're up on an Ocean Hammock home we check the hurricane strap connectors at the soffit-to-wall returns. If we see rust bleed starting, we wire-brush, treat with a rust converter, and spot-prime before the topcoat. Catching that early saves the metal and keeps your warranty paperwork clean.
Color choices that hold their tone
We steer Ocean Hammock owners away from the deep navy / charcoal looks that have been trending nationally. They look great for the first 18 months and then they wash out. Mid-toned coastal palettes — warm whites, soft greys, sandstone — hold up dramatically better in this exposure. Owners who want help carrying that palette inside the house, onto cabinetry, or across accent walls usually layer our custom residential painting work on top of the exterior scope.
If you're planning a fuller refresh, we offer custom interior and exterior painting as one coordinated project so the colors you approve outside flow naturally into the rooms you live in every day.
Ocean Hammock painting FAQs
Is Ocean Hammock under the same ARB as Hammock Dunes?+
No — Ocean Hammock has its own community standards. We handle the submittal either way.
How long do exterior coatings last in Ocean Hammock?+
Eight to ten years on the inland-facing walls, six to eight on the salt-facing walls. Plan around the latter.
Can you do soffit and fascia only?+
Yes. Soffit and fascia almost always need refreshing before the body of the house does, especially on south-facing elevations.
