Painting Cost in Fort Myers
"Painting companies near me" is one of the most searched phrases in Fort Myers for a reason — homeowners want a real, local company they can call, not a national franchise that subcontracts the actual work out. D&Co Homes is a licensed general contractor (CGC1531095) serving Lee County, and we handle exterior and interior painting directly, with a written, fixed-price quote before any work starts.
Pricing generally breaks down by scope:
If you're comparing quotes and one number is dramatically lower than the rest, ask specifically what prep work is included.
Permits & HOA Rules in Fort Myers
If your home is governed by a homeowners' or condo association — common throughout Lee County — you'll typically need color pre-approval from an architectural review committee before painting begins. This is governed by Florida Statutes Chapter 720 (homeowners' associations) and Chapter 718 (condominiums), and skipping this step can mean a fine or a forced repaint.
A straightforward repaint using the same color generally does not require a permit through Lee County Contractor Licensing. Any exterior work that involves stucco repair or structural surface prep can require its own permit.
Lee County is not in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone — that only applies to Miami-Dade and Broward counties. Lee County instead falls under the standard Florida Building Code Wind-Borne Debris Region.

Know Who's Working In Your Home
Florida's Department of Business and Professional Regulation has run joint enforcement operations with the Lee County Sheriff's Office specifically targeting unlicensed contractors who prey on homeowners with storm-related repairs — roofing, flood damage, mold remediation, window replacement, pool-cage repair, and structural work. Lee County remains a frequent target for these scams because so many homes still carry hurricane-related repair needs, and out-of-area crews often pressure homeowners to sign quickly before verifying credentials.
Before hiring any painting company in Fort Myers, verify their license number directly at myfloridalicense.com, and ask for proof of general liability insurance.

Materials & Climate Considerations
Florida's combination of intense UV exposure and high humidity means not every paint that works well up north holds up here. What we prioritize on every job:

Common Questions
If you're in an HOA or condo association, almost always yes. Under Florida Statutes Chapter 720 and 718, associations can require pre-approval of exterior colors through an architectural review committee before painting begins.
A simple repaint using the same color generally doesn't require a permit. A color change involving stucco repair or structural surface prep can trigger a review through Lee County Contractor Licensing.
It depends on scope: an interior repaint of a few rooms is the fastest and lowest-cost option, a full interior repaint with a color change is the most common project we quote, and a full exterior repaint with stucco prep is the highest tier. We give a written, fixed-price quote after seeing the property.
