Frequently asked
Straight answers before the estimate.
How much does it cost to paint a house?
Typical exteriors run $3,600–$9,500, whole-home interiors $3,800–$11,000 and cabinets $3,500–$7,500. Single rooms start at $450. Your written estimate gives the exact price and is good for 45 days. See full price guide.
When is payment due?
50% when you approve your estimate, which reserves your spot on the schedule. The remaining 50% is due when the work is complete and you've signed off on the final walkthrough.
Do you offer a lifetime workmanship warranty?
Yes. If paint we applied peels, blisters or flakes because of our workmanship, we fix it at no charge for as long as you own the home. Your signed agreement lists what's covered and what isn't, such as damage, moisture problems and normal fading.
How long does exterior paint last in Texas sun?
Plan on roughly 5 to 7 years. South- and west-facing walls usually weather first.
How do you protect landscaping and furniture?
We cover nearby areas, control dust, plan ventilation, clean daily and finish with a walkthrough.
Can you help choose colors?
Yes. We compare colors with your roof, stone and fixed finishes in your home’s real light.
