We paint the outside of your home and seal it against Houston weather.
Houston is hot and wet. Sun fades paint. Rain and damp air work their way underneath it. Then the paint bubbles, peels, and splits. Careful prep is the only thing that stops it.
We wash the outside first to take off dirt and mildew. We scrape away loose paint. We repair rotted wood and fill the gaps. We caulk around every window and door so water cannot get behind the finish. Then we prime and paint.
We work on stucco, siding, brick, trim, doors, garage doors, fences, and patios. We use exterior paint that holds its color through a Texas summer.
Nearly every failed exterior paint job in Houston failed for one reason: water got behind the paint. We caulk every gap around windows, doors, and trim before a drop of paint goes on. It is slow, unglamorous work, and it is the easiest thing to skip. It is also the whole difference between a finish that lasts two years and one that lasts ten.
Most Houston homes need exterior paint every 5 to 10 years. Stucco and brick can go longer. Wood siding and trim need it sooner, because sun and rain hit them hardest. If you see peeling, chalky patches, or splits, it is time.
The price depends on the size of your home, how many stories it has, and how much the siding or trim needs repairing. Antonio comes out, looks at it properly, and puts a clear price in writing.
Fall and spring are best, because it is cooler and less humid. We do paint year-round, though. We watch the forecast and will not paint in rain or extreme heat, because the paint will not cure properly.
Yes. Stucco is common in Houston and needs the right coating. We patch the cracks first, then use a paint that lets the wall breathe. Seal stucco with the wrong product and you trap moisture inside the wall, which does real damage.
Most homes take 3 to 7 days. Larger homes, or ones needing a lot of wood repair, take longer. Weather can add a day or two. We give you the plan up front and keep you posted as we go.
