Big Island Painters

We exclusively use high-performance, fade-resistant 100% acrylics and elastomeric coatings designed specifically for tropical climates. These products are formulated with advanced UV blockers and premium resins that retain color and film integrity far longer than standard exterior paints.

We perform a thorough pressure wash using salt-neutralizing agents to remove all chloride deposits. We then apply marine-grade primers and rust inhibitors to all metal surfaces, followed by durable topcoats engineered to create an impermeable barrier against moisture and salt spray.

Yes. We use high-grade mildewcides and fungicidal washes during the preparation phase to eliminate spores at the root. We then recommend and apply premium paints that contain built-in antimicrobial agents to resist future growth on the paint film.

Yes, vog is acidic and can etch and degrade paint over time. We conduct a pH-balanced cleaning of the substrate and recommend high-sheen or specialized dirt-shedding coatings that make acidic residue easier to rinse off during maintenance cleaning.

For exterior tropical hardwoods, we typically recommend penetrating, UV-inhibiting oils. These products nourish the wood, allow it to breathe, and do not form a film that can peel or crack, which is a common issue with traditional varnishes in our humid climate.

Absolutely. Our teams are fully familiar with the security clearance procedures, contractor working hours, noise limitations, and strict cleanliness standards of these communities. We operate discreetly and professionally to ensure compliance without disturbing residents.

We implement “white-glove” masking protocols. Floors are covered with heavy-duty protection board, furniture is sealed in plastic or relocated, and custom millwork is carefully taped off. We maintain a clean and organized job site daily.

Yes. We use advanced color-matching technology to scan and custom-mix colors. We always apply physical samples on-site for your approval to account for how Hawaii’s unique natural lighting affects the final color appearance.

Yes. We specialize in creating Level 5 finishes. This involves expert skim coating and sanding to create perfectly flat, glass-like wall surfaces that are required for high-gloss paints and critical lighting situations in modern design.

We can scale our crew size to accommodate time-sensitive projects and are accustomed to working efficiently within limited vacancy windows to minimize lost rental revenue for our clients.

Yes. We routinely sign NDAs and respect client privacy. We can limit photography and restrict any public sharing of project details to ensure complete discretion.

Yes. We offer night and weekend scheduling for commercial projects. We also use low-VOC and low-odor paints to ensure indoor air quality is safe for your staff and customers to reoccupy the space immediately.

Yes. We install industrial-grade epoxy and polyaspartic urethane floor systems that are resistant to chemicals, heavy forklift traffic, and impacts. We can also add non-slip additives for safety.

Yes. We remove loose rust using industrial surface preparation methods, then apply rust-encapsulating primers and durable direct-to-metal (DTM) finish coats to significantly extend the service life of the structure.

Yes. We service the entire island. We have the logistics and equipment to deliver materials and crews reliably to even the most remote locations on the Big Island.

We primarily use premium products from Benjamin Moore and Sherwin-Williams, as well as specialized industrial and marine coating manufacturers whose products have been proven to withstand Hawaii’s intense UV and salt exposure.

Yes. Our team is trained in lead-safe work practices. We use proper containment, protective equipment, and disposal methods to safely prepare and repaint older homes built before 1978.

Yes. We provide a warranty on our labor and facilitate manufacturer warranties on materials. We also provide clear expectations and maintenance guidance specific to the environmental conditions of your property’s location.
