What Our Customers Say
Don’t just take our word for it – hear from satisfied Florida homeowners who’ve experienced Stevens Paint & Blinds’ difference in transforming their spaces with our premium primers and expert guidance.
They were wonderful at helping me with a home cabinet painting project. I had purchased some paint from Home Depot that was full of bubbles. They matched the color I had already purchased almost perfectly and the Benjamin Moore paint worked great. And Luna, the cat, couldn’t have been more welcoming. Would absolutely recommend them. Great local hometown business.

A great paint store offering everything you need for any project. Staff is very knowledgeable and experienced. They answered all my questions and if uncertain will get on the phone and find out exactly what you need to know about the products and application. I do wish they also had wallpaper. Highly recommend Benjamin Moore paint and products. My husband has been a professional remodeler for decades and will use NO other paints!

It’s best to use primers specifically formulated for exterior use on outdoor surfaces. These are designed to withstand Florida’s harsh sun, rain, and humidity better than interior primers.
Generally, one coat is sufficient. However, for surfaces with severe stains or dramatic color changes, you might need two coats. Our experts can advise based on your specific situation.
