How does HARB review affect a paint timeline?

Add 2-4 weeks for approval before any prep starts. We submit color samples, photographs, and the proposed system to HARB at the time we book the job, so review and material lead time run in parallel rather than back-to-back.

Can you work in Davis Shores and Anastasia Island too?

Yes. Davis Shores and Anastasia Island are outside the HARB district, so the rules are typical residential. The wrinkle there is salt: most homes are within a half-mile of the water, so we run the same coastal paint system we use in Ponte Vedra and Jacksonville Beach.

Can I paint a HARB-district home in St. Augustine any color?

No. Homes inside the St. Augustine HARB district must use approved historic palettes, typically lime-wash compatible whites, ochres, blue-grays, and muted earth tones. We submit color packets to HARB on your behalf and keep a list of recently approved schemes to speed up review, which usually clears in 2-4 weeks.

Painting contractor for St. Augustine historic district

St. Augustine is the oldest continuously occupied European-founded city in the United States, and that heritage shows up in every paint conversation. Lincolnville and the downtown HARB district have strict color and substrate rules. Coquina, tabby, original heart-pine cladding, and lime-wash exteriors all behave differently under modern acrylic. Anastasia Island and Davis Shores swing more contemporary; World Golf Village and SilverLeaf are master-planned suburbs further west with their own ARB processes. Most landmarks worth name-checking, like the Castillo de San Marcos, remind us how seriously this city takes substrate.

Why St. Augustine homeowners hire Paint-Techs

HARB-fluent

Historic Architectural Review Board paperwork is part of the job, not an afterthought. We submit, follow up, and adjust until the formula clears.

Substrate-matched product

Lime-wash, coquina, tabby, and heart-pine each take a different paint family. We do not put modern acrylic on a wall that needs to breathe.

Coastal and historic in one bid

Anastasia Island sits east of the HARB line and west of the Atlantic. Salt-air spec plus historic-color sensitivity, in the same estimate.

World Golf Village and SilverLeaf coverage

West of the historic district, modern master-planned communities have their own ARB processes. We handle those packets too.

Vitor and his staff were VERY thorough and professional from when he first gave his estimate to paint the outside of our home. Vitor carefully explained the comprehensive preparation process they would be going through, used the best materials available.
