Does the price include paint?
Yes, ours does. Ask any painter whether product is included; some quote labor only.

Hiring, insurance & warranty
Do painters need a license in Texas?
No. Texas does not license painters, so any painter claiming a state painting license is misleading you. Verify insurance instead.

What does the 5-year warranty cover?
Our 5-year workmanship warranty covers peeling, blistering, and flaking caused by our workmanship on all painting. It does not cover damage from water intrusion, settling, or surfaces you asked us not to prep.
How many painting quotes should I get?
Three. Compare prep and product, not just the total.

Process & timing
How long does a full interior repaint take?
Three to five days for a 2,500 sq ft home with a crew of three.
What prep do you do before painting?
Prep is about 60% of the job in Houston. On exteriors we pressure wash to kill mildew, scrape and sand, replace rotted wood, caulk every gap, and prime bare surfaces. On interiors we patch, sand, caulk, and prime stains.
How many coats of paint do you apply?
Two full coats, sprayed and back-rolled on exteriors, cut and rolled on interiors.
Do you work with HOAs?
Yes. We pull the approved color list and submit the ARC form for Katy, Cypress, Sugar Land, and Woodlands communities.
How does the job finish?
With a walkthrough. You inspect every room or elevation with the crew lead before final payment.

Houston climate & paint
When is the best time to paint a house exterior in Houston?
October through April. Summer afternoons are too hot and humid for paint to cure properly.
Can you paint in Houston humidity?
Within limits. We don't paint when humidity is above 85% or surfaces are above 90°F. Paint applied over damp or chalky surfaces peels within two years.
How often should I repaint my house in Houston?
Exteriors every 5–7 years, interiors every 7–10 years.
What paint do you use?
Sherwin-Williams Duration and Emerald for exteriors, Benjamin Moore Aura or Regal Select for interiors, and Benjamin Moore Advance or Sherwin-Williams Emerald Urethane for cabinets.
Why do Houston exteriors cost more to paint than the national average?
More prep. Humidity, mildew, and UV degrade surfaces faster than in dry climates, so washing, scraping, and priming take longer.
