Why Miami homes get this: UV intensity, salt spray, and 75%+ ambient humidity create the shortest exterior paint cycles in the continental US — 4–7 years for high-quality elastomeric coatings on stucco, much less on wood. Mold and mildew growth on north-facing walls and shaded condo balconies drives frequent recoating; lead remediation is required in pre-1978 buildings.
