What to Expect When Working With a Professional Painting Crew in Puerto Rico

When you hire a professional painting crew, you’re not just getting a fresh coat of paint—you’re getting a full-service experience built around precision, protection, and long-term value. In Puerto Rico’s climate, that matters more than ever. Salt, humidity, heat, and rain can all destroy a paint job if it's not done properly.

This post breaks down exactly what you should expect when working with a premium painting crew—from the first walkthrough to the final touch-up.

Step 1: On-Site Walkthrough & Scope Review

Before a brush touches the wall, the process starts with a detailed walkthrough. We’ll assess:

• Surface types (stucco, plaster, concrete, wood, metal)

• Environmental factors (sun exposure, salt, mold risk)

• Damage, peeling paint, or water intrusion

• Special coatings needed (sealants, primers, rust inhibitors)

The goal is to prevent problems before they start. You’ll also get a clear breakdown of what’s included in the estimate.

Step 2: Surface Prep & Cleaning

In Puerto Rico, prep is non-negotiable. Expect your crew to:

• Power wash all paintable surfaces

• Scrape and sand any peeling or loose paint

• Patch cracks in stucco or plaster

• Prime exposed surfaces or patched areas

Prep can take days depending on property size and material condition. Rushing this step is the #1 reason paint jobs fail.

Step 3: Paint Selection & Samples

We use Sherwin-Williams exterior and interior products that are specifically suited for tropical climates. Some of our go-to products:

• Loxon XP for stucco and concrete

• Duration Exterior Acrylic for high-UV areas

• Emerald Interior Acrylic for high-end washable finishes

We always apply sample swatches first—so you can see how the color looks in Puerto Rico’s intense natural light before committing.

Step 4: Clean, Professional Application

Expect your crew to work in clean uniforms, use drop cloths and plastic to protect surfaces, and follow a clear painting system:

• Cut-ins and trim first

• Main surfaces sprayed or rolled after

• Two full coats for even, durable coverage

• Cleanup at the end of every day

You should never be left with mess, drips, or streaks.

Step 5: Walkthrough, Punch List & Touch-Ups

Once painting is complete, we’ll do a final walkthrough with you:

• Look over all surfaces in daylight and shade

• Mark anything you’d like touched up

• Confirm that the project was done to your expectations

Optional Add-Ons You Should Consider

For long-term results, many homeowners add:

• Roof sealing

• Power washing maintenance

• Deck staining or concrete sealing

This is especially valuable if your property is near the coast or used seasonally.
