A finish that stands up to Houston weather.
Sun, humidity and sideways rain are hard on paint here. Surface prep and the right coating system are what buy you years - not the brand name on the can.
Exterior painting in Greater Houston is a weatherproofing job that happens to look good. Wash, scrape, sand, spot-prime, caulk, then coat - on a dry surface, in the right conditions.
What is included
- Wash-down first, so paint bonds to the house instead of the dirt on it
- Scraping, sanding and spot-priming of failed areas
- Caulked gaps and seams - where water actually gets in
- Rotten trim and siding flagged honestly and repaired before painting over it
- Quality exterior coatings applied in proper conditions
- Clean lines around brick, stone, windows and fixtures
How it works
- Walk the exterior. We inspect for failed paint, caulk gaps and rot, and scope repairs honestly.
- Written scope. Prep, repairs and coating system in writing - the part that separates bids.
- Prep and paint. Wash, repair, prime, caulk, coat. In that order, weather permitting.
- Walkthrough. We circle the house with you and touch up anything that is not right.
What drives the price
- Prep condition: peeling, chalking and rot repair drive cost more than square footage
- Height and access - two-story homes and steep gables take staging
- Body-and-trim vs. body only, and how many colors
- Substrate: Hardie, wood, brick and stucco each prep differently
Common questions
When is painting season in Houston?
Most of the year, honestly - but surfaces must be dry and temperatures workable. We schedule around rain and heavy humidity windows rather than pushing paint into conditions where it will not cure right.
What about rotten wood - can you just paint it?
No, and anyone who will is costing you money. Paint over rot fails fast and hides the problem while it spreads. We repair or replace first; that is why our trim and siding repair crew matters.
How long should an exterior paint job last here?
With honest prep and quality coatings, roughly 7 to 10 years on most substrates - sun-baked south and west faces age fastest. Skipped prep can cut that in half.
