When commercial buildings in South Florida undergo concrete restoration, a high-quality repaint is one of the most important final steps in protecting the property and restoring its appearance. Recently, 1060 Brickell trusted Tru Colors Contracting to complete an exterior repaint project following concrete restoration work.

Located in the heart of Brickell, this high-rise condominium property faces constant exposure to Miami’s harsh coastal climate, including intense UV rays, salt air, heavy rain, and strong winds. Our team provided a complete exterior painting system designed to improve curb appeal while delivering long-term protection for the building’s stucco surfaces.

The Challenge: Protecting a High-Rise in Miami’s Coastal Climate

Commercial buildings in Brickell face some of the toughest environmental conditions in South Florida. Because this property is located near Biscayne Bay, the exterior surfaces are constantly exposed to:

• Salt air and moisture
• Strong wind-driven rain
• Intense UV exposure
• Humidity and heat fluctuations

Over time, these conditions can lead to fading paint, stucco deterioration, surface cracking, and moisture intrusion.

Following the concrete restoration phase, the building required a professional exterior repainting system that would not only restore the appearance of the property, but also help protect it for years to come.

Our Exterior Painting Process

Step 1: Surface Preparation

Proper preparation is one of the most important parts of any commercial painting project. Before any coatings were applied, our team carefully prepared the building surfaces to ensure maximum adhesion and durability.

Preparation Included:

• Pressure washing exterior surfaces
• Masking surrounding areas and windows
• Caulking windows and door openings
• Preparing stucco surfaces for primer application

This step removes contaminants, dirt, chalking, and loose materials that can prevent coatings from bonding properly.

Step 2: Repairs & Surface Restoration

Before painting began, we addressed visible surface issues caused by exposure and age.

Repairs Included:

• Crack sealing
• Stucco touch-ups
• Re-caulking vulnerable openings and joints

These repairs help prevent future moisture intrusion and improve the long-term performance of the coating system.

Step 3: Primer & Coating Application

Once the surfaces were fully prepared, Tru Colors Contracting applied a professional-grade coating system designed specifically for Florida’s demanding climate.

Primer System

The building was primed using Loxon Conditioner, which helps create a stable, paint-ready surface.

This step is especially important on stucco surfaces that may be slightly chalky or porous after years of exposure. Without proper conditioning and priming, paint can struggle to bond correctly — one of the biggest reasons exterior paint jobs fail prematurely.

Finish Coating System

After priming, we applied:

• Two coats of Loxon Self-Cleaning Coating
• Spray and back-roll application method for even coverage and proper penetration

This coating system was selected for its durability, moisture resistance, and ability to withstand South Florida weather conditions.

Step 4: Final Inspection & Cleanup

Before project completion, our team conducted a full quality-control inspection to ensure every surface met Tru Colors Contracting’s standards.

Final Steps Included:

• Detailed walkthrough inspections
• Touch-ups where needed
• Cleanup of all surrounding areas
• Final approval of coating consistency and finish quality

Why Proper Prep Work Matters on Commercial Painting Projects

At Tru Colors Contracting, we know that long-lasting exterior coatings begin long before the final coat of paint is applied.

One of the biggest reasons commercial paint jobs fail is poor preparation and improper priming. In Florida’s climate, exterior surfaces are constantly exposed to moisture, salt, UV rays, and expansion from heat.

Using products like Loxon Conditioner helps stabilize chalky stucco surfaces and improves adhesion so coatings properly bond to the substrate. This dramatically improves coating longevity and overall performance.

When combined with proper caulking, crack sealing, and professional application methods, a high-performance coating system can help protect exterior surfaces for up to 10 years.
