Homeowner services for Kendall— done right.
Kendall is the archetype of the South Florida suburban dream — large lots, wide streets, good schools, and homes built big enough for the extended families that are the social fabric of this predominantly Latin American community. The Hammocks, Kendale Lakes, and Three Lakes are communities of 2,000-3,500 sq ft CBS homes built primarily between 1975 and 1995, HOA-governed and maintained to a community standard that makes exterior appearance a shared civic value. When a home on a Kendale Lakes block looks tired, the neighbors notice.
HOA color compliance is the defining constraint of exterior work in Kendall's master-planned communities. Most Kendall HOAs maintain an approved color palette of 20-50 colors and require formal board approval — with a wait of 2-4 weeks — before any exterior paint change. We've learned to initiate this process early, working with homeowners to select from the approved palette, prepare the HOA application package, and submit with the documentation that ensures first-time approval rather than a revisions request that extends the timeline.
The scale of Kendall homes creates exterior painting projects that require careful planning. A 2,800 sq ft two-story CBS home with a tile roof, multiple gable ends, and a screened pool enclosure is a multi-day project requiring proper staging to protect the pool, landscaping, and adjacent structures. We size our crews to these projects and schedule exterior work around Kendall's typical afternoon thunderstorm pattern — starting early and finishing by noon to avoid the 2pm rains that can ruin a fresh paint application.
Annual maintenance plans are particularly popular with Kendall homeowners who manage large properties and want a single point of contact for the ongoing maintenance that keeps a big house looking and functioning at its best. From AC tune-ups to gutter cleaning to pressure washing the driveway, our annual plans cover it all.

Learn more ›About Kendall
Kendall is not a single municipality but rather a collection of unincorporated communities in southwestern Miami-Dade County, anchored by the Dadeland Mall commercial hub and stretching west to the Miami-Dade Metrozoo. The area's population of 75,000+ skews heavily toward families — large households with multiple children and often grandparents living in-home, which drives demand for functional renovations rather than trendy aesthetic updates.
The Palmetto Expressway and the Don Shula Expressway provide the infrastructure that makes Kendall's large-format suburban development possible, and the area's school district options are among the most debated — and sought-after — in Miami-Dade County. Homeowners here invest in their properties with long-term family timelines rather than short-term appreciation plays.
We have 3,200 square feet of CBS home in The Hammocks and American Handy has been our maintenance partner for four years. They handle everything — painting, AC service, plumbing, even the pool screen repair. It's like having a super-capable facilities manager for your house.— Monica S., Kendall homeowner
Frequently Asked Questions — Kendall
How do I get HOA approval for exterior painting in Kendall?
Most Kendall HOAs require a completed architectural review application, a paint chip or color sample from the approved palette, and sometimes photos of the current exterior and proposed color in context. We prepare all of this documentation as part of our estimate process and submit the application on your behalf. Approval typically takes 2-4 weeks. We recommend starting the HOA process before finalizing your paint selection to avoid delays.
How long does it take to paint a large Kendall home?
A typical 2,500-3,500 sq ft two-story CBS home in Kendall takes 3-5 days for a complete exterior repaint, including proper surface prep, primer, and two finish coats. We schedule exterior painting to start at 7am to avoid the afternoon thunderstorms common in Kendall from June through October. We protect all landscaping, pool equipment, and adjacent hardscape during the work.
What does your annual maintenance plan include for Kendall homes?
Our Kendall annual maintenance plan covers semi-annual AC tune-up and filter replacement, one full exterior pressure washing per year, one day of handyman repairs (fixture replacement, door hardware, minor carpentry), gutter cleaning, and priority scheduling for any emergency calls. Large homes get scaled pricing based on square footage. Most Kendall homeowners find the plan pays for itself in the first AC service call that catches a problem before it becomes an emergency.
Can you match the exterior color on a repaint to match my neighbor's approved color?
If your HOA has approved a specific color for your neighbor's home, that color is on the approved list and we can use the same selection. HOA color palettes are generally standardized by brand and formula, so matching across homes is straightforward as long as we use the same paint manufacturer. We always verify the approved palette with the HOA before any color is purchased.
