Condo & HOA — read this first
In many Miami-Dade and Broward towers, the association owns the building envelope. Unit owners may only control limited surfaces. Before you book “full exterior paint,” confirm color books, vendor lists, and COI rules.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does exterior painting cost in South Florida?
Calculator planning rates for exterior run roughly $2.25–$3.75 per painted sq ft depending on coat system. Larger finished house packages often illustrate in the mid-thousands; your written estimate is authoritative. See our South Florida exterior cost guide for scenarios.
Do you paint Miami condo exteriors and HOA buildings?
Condo and HOA exteriors need building rules, color books, and often vendor COIs. Many unit owners only control limited surfaces (e.g., doors, railings) while the association owns the envelope. Read our condo/HOA exterior painting guide before assuming a full façade is yours to paint.
Is pressure washing included?
We list house exterior soft-wash at $299 per story and driveway washing from $149 — soft-wash is preferred when you need algae removed without blasting failing paint. Soft-wash may be quoted with the paint job or as prep.
Interior painters vs exterior painters — same crew?
Gold Hands paints both interiors and exteriors under the painting service. Exterior work adds sun, salt air, soft-wash prep, and often HOA color constraints. Start with a free written estimate and photos of each elevation.
What should I send for an exterior quote?
Elevation photos, stories/height notes, peeling or chalking areas, HOA color rules, and whether soft-wash is needed. Call (786) 788-8714.
