Painting for Melbourne Homeowners

Melbourne homeowners looking for painting have one local choice with ELSO Contracting. We are a licensed, insured Brevard County remodeling contractor serving the heart of Brevard County, with crews working Eau Gallie, West Melbourne, Melbourne Village, and the Beaches every week. This page covers what makes painting in Melbourne different from other parts of Florida, what it typically costs, what permits and code requirements apply, and how we deliver projects with transparent pricing and no surprises.

Melbourne Exterior Paint Systems

Exterior paint in Melbourne fails fast if specified wrong. UV intensity, salt air on properties within a few miles of the coast (which includes most of Eau Gallie, West Melbourne, Melbourne Village, and the Beaches), and daily storms mean exterior paint here lasts 5-7 years instead of the 10-15 you'd get inland in cooler climates. We use Sherwin-Williams Duration or Benjamin Moore Aura on exteriors, with proper substrate prep (pressure wash, scrape, sand, prime bare wood), and a 100% acrylic latex topcoat system.

Interior Paint and Cabinet Refinishing

Interior paint projects in Melbourne range from single-room refreshes ($800-$2,500) to whole-home repaints with cabinet refinishing ($15,000-$30,000). Cabinet refinishing is one of our most-requested Melbourne projects - homeowners with 1990s-2000s oak cabinets get a transformation for a fraction of the cost of new cabinets. We use a 5-step process: clean, scuff sand, prime with bonding primer, two finish coats of cabinet-grade enamel, all sprayed off-site for factory-quality results.
