Mid-rise and coastal condo exterior repaints in Martin County
Martin County caps habitable buildings at four stories, so its condos are mostly mid-rise: long blocks on Hutchinson Island, by the river in Stuart and around Jensen Beach. Low does not mean small. One block with open walkways can carry hundreds of rail posts.
On these buildings the walkways and balconies decide the schedule. Owners need a way to their door every day, and many units are seasonal, so keys and balcony access have to be arranged with the manager well ahead. The work is planned stack by stack, with notice to owners before each one starts.
Salt is the other driver. On the island, wind off the ocean coats every elevation, and rail bases and balcony edges are where coatings let go first. Rust staining, spalled edges and cracked stucco are found during washing, and any concrete repair is scoped and quoted on its own before paint covers it.
Florida condo law ties painting to the reserve and inspection cycle for buildings of three or more stories. Boards often plan a repaint with those reports in hand. Send the latest findings with your request, and the scope can follow them.
Sequence
- Read the board's inspection and reserve findings and walk the building.
- Agree the color, the stack order and the notice owners will get.
- Wash each elevation and list the concrete and stucco repairs found.
- Repair, seal and prime, stack by stack.
- Coat walls, balconies, rails and walkway edges.
- Sign off each vertical stack of units with the manager before moving on.
Common failures
Where this work goes wrong in Martin County, and the control for each
Walkways owners use every day
Open-air corridors are the only route to each door. Work moves in short sections, wet areas are marked and roped, and one clear path to every unit is kept.
Balconies behind locked doors
Seasonal owners may be away for months. Balcony access is scheduled through the manager in advance, and units that cannot be reached are listed so they can be done in a later pass.
Rail bases that rust from inside
Water and salt get into rail pockets and rust the post below the coating. Pockets are opened, cleaned and sealed where the scope calls for it, and anything structural goes to the board's engineer.
Outside this scope
Concrete restoration, waterproofing membranes and rail replacement are scoped separately and may need permits and an engineer. Color choice belongs to the board and the association documents; we follow the approved selection.
Questions
About mid-rise and coastal condo repaints
Are there high-rise condos in Martin County?
Few. County regulations hold habitable buildings to four stories, so most condos here are mid-rise. The access is mainly lifts, scaffold and short swing stages rather than tall rigs, which changes how the job is planned.
Can owners stay home during a condo repaint?
Yes. The work moves stack by stack, owners get notice before their section, and each unit keeps a way in and out. Balcony days are the ones that need someone to open the door.
How is the cost of a commercial paint job worked out?
From the building itself. We look at the surfaces and how worn they are, the stucco, sealant and rust repairs, the coating system, how each side is reached, who stays inside, and which color rules or board votes come first. Photos and drawings can start it; most quotes are confirmed with a walk. There is no rate card, because no two buildings wear the same way in this climate.
What size of building will you quote?
Any size. A single storefront in downtown Stuart, a stairwell in an office, a row of flex bays in Palm City or a full four-story condo on Hutchinson Island are all quoted the same way: from the surfaces, the access and the people around the work.
Is Romco licensed?
Yes. Romco Builders is a licensed Florida general contractor, headquartered in Fort Lauderdale. Ask for the license details and they come with your quote.
