Hollywood Painters — Interior & Exterior

Home › Interior & Exterior Painting › Hollywood

Painting in Hollywood is quoted with a free written estimate that names each room or elevation, the preparation that surface needs, the primer and topcoat by product and sheen, and how many coats go on. A beachfront condominium on 33019 and a 1920s bungalow off Young Circle produce two completely different documents, which is why we write one rather than quoting by the day.

Insured, Gold Hands puts the specification in writing first. Send photographs and the address, or the building name, to (786) 788-8714 and you get the estimate free and in writing: surfaces counted, filling, caulking, scraping and sanding written where each is genuinely required, the primer chosen for plaster, drywall, stucco or wood as the case may be, the finish product and sheen for every element, and a clear statement of what is excluded.

Three zip codes carry three different Hollywoods. On the barrier island, 33019 runs from the Intracoastal out to the Atlantic and the Broadwalk, packed with condominium and apartment buildings of every age alongside mid-century single-family and waterfront homes in the Lakes and Harbor Islands sections, and a great many of those units are seasonal or short-term rentals. Central Hollywood in 33020 holds the older core around downtown and Young Circle, bungalows and ranch houses from the 1920s through the 1950s on tree-shaded streets, with mid-rise condominiums near downtown and the coast. Inland, Hollywood Hills in 33021 is a settled grid of 1950s to 1970s concrete-block ranch homes with larger two-story houses around Emerald Hills.

Hollywood Beach: painting a rental unit between guests

A large share of 33019 is holiday and seasonal rental, and repainting one means working inside a turnover window rather than around an owner's convenience. Tell us the check-out time and the next check-in and we schedule the work to close inside that gap, sequence rooms so nothing is wet when the cleaners arrive, and photograph the finished unit so an owner who is elsewhere can see the state it was handed over in. For units that turn over constantly, we keep the color references and product details on file so a touch-up between bookings does not start with matching guesswork.

Buildings on the island add their own layer. Nearly every tower here expects a vendor certificate of insurance filed with management before a contractor works in a unit, a booked service elevator for materials, front desk check-in and noisy preparation kept inside stated hours. Many also restrict work entirely on certain holidays. Allow the management office a day to process paperwork, give us the building name at booking, and we work to whichever calendar the association actually enforces.

Plaster, lath and the 1920s to 1950s houses of central Hollywood

The older streets of 33020 around downtown and Young Circle hold bungalows and early ranch houses with plaster or lath walls, original wood trim and windows that predate current standards. Plaster is not drywall and does not want to be treated as such: it cracks along its own lines, it can be hollow behind a sound-looking face, and filler applied over a section that has separated from its lath will come back within a season. We sound the wall before quoting and the estimate says which cracks are cosmetic filling and which need the plaster secured first, so the difference is visible before the work rather than after.

Exterior work on these houses is mostly about wood, which is uncommon in South Florida and unforgiving in this climate. Fascia, window casings, porch posts and door frames on a house of this age carry decades of coatings, and failing paint must come off while sound paint stays. Rotted or split sections are named in the estimate as repair or replacement lines rather than filled and painted to hide them. The tree canopy that makes these streets pleasant also keeps north elevations damp and shaded, which is where mildew growth on a finish shows up first.

Hollywood Hills and Emerald Hills: mid-century block houses inland

Hollywood Hills, despite the name, is flat and settled, a grid of single-family neighborhoods largely built from the 1950s through the 1970s in the concrete-block construction typical of the period, with the golf-course community at Emerald Hills adding larger two-story houses. Away from the ocean the salt problem recedes and the enemies become sun and rain: south and west elevations chalk and fade years ahead of the rest of the house, and the summer storm season decides the working calendar between May and October.

On a house of this age the exterior estimate is a survey of eras. Many properties here have been updated or extended over the decades, so one elevation can carry two or three stucco textures and several old color schemes, and mature landscaping planted decades ago now sits tight against walls, holding damp and keeping sections from drying. We quote elevation by elevation, say which sections need cutting back or protecting before we can work on them, and match new work to what is already there rather than pretending the wall is uniform. Where a job crosses into work that legally requires a licensed trade, it goes to a licensed pro.

Interior & Exterior Painting in Hollywood — questions we get asked

How does a painting estimate work in Hollywood?

It is free and it comes as a written document. We look at the property or clear photographs, then list every room or elevation, the preparation each surface gets, the primer and topcoat by product and sheen, the coat count, furniture and landscaping protection and the exclusions. For a rental we also write the working window so you can see it fits between bookings. Call or text (786) 788-8714.

Can I trust the crew coming into my Hollywood home or rental?

Check what can be checked. Gold Hands is insured, the certificate goes to you and to your building's management, and the front desk logs us in and out under the name given at booking. In an occupied home we work one room at a time and put it back at the end of the day. In an empty rental you get photographs of the preparation and of the finished rooms, not just a message saying it is done.

My building wants a certificate of insurance and does not allow work on holidays. Can you fit that?

Yes. Nearly every beachside building in 33019 requires the certificate, and we send it to management as a standard booking step, allowing the office a day to process it. Holiday and quiet-hour restrictions are built into the schedule rather than discovered on the day, so tell us the building name and we will confirm the working days with management before you commit to a start date.

Our Hollywood Beach unit is rented most weeks. Can you paint it in one turnover window?

Often, and it is one of the most common jobs we take on the island. Give us the check-out and check-in times and the room list, and the estimate will say honestly whether the scope fits that gap or needs two windows. We sequence so drying time falls where it does not block the cleaners, keep your color and product references on file for future touch-ups, and send photographs at handover.
