Why Fort Lauderdale Commercial Buildings Need Regular Repainting
On a commercial building, faded or peeling paint is the first thing tenants and customers notice. In Fort Lauderdale, the climate speeds that up: sun, humidity and salt air near the coast wear coatings down faster than in milder places.
Along Las Olas Boulevard and SE 3rd Avenue, older masonry and retail buildings take salt air off the coast. In the Cypress Creek Road and Commercial Boulevard office district, many older buildings have fine cracks in the stucco or block that a plain repaint will not hide. On Federal Highway, retail and light industrial buildings sit in full sun most of the day.
What Shapes the Scope of a Commercial Painting Job
The size of the building, the condition of the existing paint, the product the walls need for their exposure, and access for upper floors are the four things that decide the scope. On a managed property, tenant schedules and access also shape how the work is planned.
What Our Commercial Painting Covers
Office Buildings
Exterior coatings for office buildings downtown and in the city's business districts, matched to each building's surface, age and exposure.
Retail and Storefronts
Storefronts on Federal Highway, Las Olas Boulevard and other retail corridors, painted with products that hold up in heavy sun.
Cracked Masonry Walls
On block or stucco walls with fine cracks, elastomeric coating bridges the cracks and adds a flexible, water-resistant layer.
Warehouses and Light Industrial
Exterior painting for warehouses and service buildings near Port Everglades and along the US-1 corridor.
Mixed-Use and Commercial Condo Buildings
Buildings in Flagler Village and downtown with shops below and homes above, with each surface getting the right product and prep.
Multi-Story Buildings
Each side of a taller building is looked at on its own, since the ground floor and the upper floors wear differently.
How a Commercial Painting Job Goes
- 01
Assess the Building
We look at every side of the building, note the surface condition, the exposure and what access the upper floors need.
- 02
Prep the Surface
Loose paint comes off. Failed caulking at windows and joints is replaced. Cracked stucco is repaired before any coating goes on. New paint will not hold on an unsound surface.
- 03
Apply the Right Product
Elastomeric coating goes on masonry with visible cracks. Commercial exterior paint goes on surfaces that are sound and prepared.
- 04
Final Walk-Through
Coverage and adhesion are checked on the finished walls before the job is closed out.
Why Anthony Pennacchi & Sons
Anthony Pennacchi & Sons is a fourth-generation family masonry and restoration company, established in 1947 and licensed in Florida as a certified general contractor (CGC1538576). That background changes how a paint job is scoped: water getting into the wall, failed joints and cracked stucco are dealt with first, and the building's waterproofing is part of the conversation when it needs to be.

The Honest Answer
Restoration Vs Replacement

What we recommend in the majority of cases we assess in Fort Lauderdale.
Replacement
When the substrate is gone or the structure is past saving.

Frequently Asked
Fort Lauderdale Painting FAQ
The questions Fort Lauderdale owners ask most. Tap any to expand.
It depends on where the building sits, what the walls are made of, what product was used last time and how close the building is to the coast. Buildings along Federal Highway and the Las Olas corridor that take steady salt air tend to show wear sooner than buildings farther inland. Anthony Pennacchi & Sons can give you a clear answer for your building after an on-site look.
Yes. Anthony Pennacchi & Sons paints office buildings in the Cypress Creek Road and Commercial Boulevard business district. Many older buildings there need more than a repaint, including crack repair and careful prep, before a new coating will hold.
It depends on the condition of the wall and how much coastal exposure it gets. On older block and stucco with fine cracks, elastomeric coating usually outlasts regular paint because it stretches over the cracks and keeps water out better.
That depends on the project and the property, and the building department makes that call, not us. Check with the City of Fort Lauderdale's Building Services department, or call (561) 475-0775 and we can talk through your project's scope.
Tell us how the property runs when you call. Access, tenant hours and who signs off on the work are part of the conversation before a proposal is written, so the plan fits how the building operates.
