Professional Painting Services in River Oaks, Texas
River Oaks is an established inner-loop neighborhood between Buffalo Bayou and Westheimer, developed from the 1920s onward. Its homes range from period houses with original millwork and plaster to large new custom builds. Older homes here usually need careful prep: repairing cracked plaster and settling cracks inside, and on the exterior replacing failed caulk, repairing rotted wood and priming bare spots before the finish coats. Houston's humidity and summer heat are hard on exterior paint, so that prep matters more than the color. Homes built before 1978 may contain lead paint, which federal rules require be disturbed only by an EPA-certified renovation firm, so ask any painter for their certification. Mature landscaping and close attention to finished surfaces inside the home mean protection is part of every job: covering beds and hardscape, and protecting floors and furnishings. We paint walls, ceilings, trim and cabinets, and specialty finishes such as Venetian plaster, Roman Clay and faux finishes are priced after an on-site look. Houston Superior Painting was founded in 2019 and is headquartered in Cypress. Every estimate is free and written, with the complete scope, price, deposit and payment schedule before you approve the project.

Yes. Older homes usually need more prep, such as plaster and crack repair inside, and caulk, wood repair and priming outside.

Do you do specialty finishes?
We offer Venetian plaster, Roman Clay, faux finishes, metallic finishes, lacquer, grasscloth and other wallcoverings, and limewash. Because these depend on the surface and the look you want, they are priced after an on-site look rather than from a published range.
How do you protect landscaping?
We cover beds and shrubs near the work area, protect hardscape and floors with drop cloths and plastic, and plan ladder and equipment placement before work starts.
