Dade City is not flat the way most of Tampa Bay is. The town sits on rolling ground with old oaks, and its older neighborhoods near downtown include wood frame houses and bungalows from decades before Wesley Chapel existed. Lap siding, wood porches and window trim are what make these homes charming, and they are also what lets water in when paint fails.
The typical pattern: paint peels first on the lowest siding boards and window sills, water soaks the end grain and rot spreads behind the paint before anyone sees it. Repairing early, replacing only the soft boards and repainting with good prep keeps the original look without a full re-side.
An old county seat with old wood
Downtown Dade City centers on the historic Pasco County courthouse, surrounded by antique shops and restaurants in older brick and frame buildings. We handle storefront and commercial painting downtown, working early or on closed days so shops stay open. Nearby, the Pioneer Florida Museum keeps old Florida buildings on display, a reminder of how long wood homes have stood here.
For homes, our siding repair crew probes every board at the base of walls and under windows, replaces soft pieces with matching profiles, back-primes new wood and caulks the joints. Then the exterior gets a full scrape, sand, prime and two topcoats. Older homes also tend to have sticking wood doors and windows, which we plane and seal during the job.

Questions from Dade City homeowners
Can you match old wood siding profiles that are not sold anymore?
Often we can find a close stock match. When we cannot, we have pieces milled to match or borrow sound boards from a hidden wall and put new ones there. We show you the options before ordering.
Is it better to replace all my siding or repair the bad boards?
If most boards are sound, repair saves money and keeps the original character. If rot is widespread, re-siding may cost less than patching. We probe the walls and give you both numbers if it is close.
What does an older Dade City frame house cost to repaint?
For a typical older single-story frame home with moderate scraping, plan on about $5,140 to $9,280, depending on siding condition and trim detail. Siding repairs are priced separately. Final price follows a free on-site look.
Why does paint keep peeling on the same window sill?
Sills take the most water and sun, and once the wood absorbs water, paint will not stay. We dry, treat or replace the soft wood, prime the end grain and use a flexible paint so the sill sheds water.
