Exterior paint
that holds up.

Why Most Paint Jobs Fail
Prep is the whole job.
⚯
Skipped pressure washing
Cheap painters skip the wash and just paint over dirt, chalk, and mildew. New paint can’t bond to a dirty surface — it peels within 18 months.
⌥
No scrape, no prime
Bare wood needs primer. Loose paint needs scraping. Skip either and you’re painting on an unstable surface — the failure is baked in before the brush touches it.
⌖
Cheap paint
Builder-grade paint fades in 2–3 Texas summers. Sherwin-Williams Duration and Benjamin Moore Aura cost more per gallon and last 3× longer — way cheaper over the life of the job.
①
One coat
Two coats is the spec for a reason. One coat looks ok day one but UV chews through it in 12 months. We always apply two — every job, every wall, no exceptions.
Paints We Apply
Premium paint that earns its price.
Default
Sherwin-Williams
Duration · Emerald
Duration is the workhorse. Emerald is the premium tier. Both are formulated for high UV environments and resist fade, dirt pickup, and mildew far better than builder-grade.
Premium
Benjamin Moore
Aura · Regal Select
Aura’s color retention is unmatched — particularly for deep saturated colors that fade fast in Texas. Strong choice for craftsman, Hill Country modern, and historic homes.
Budget
Behr Premium
By Request
If budget is tight, Behr Premium Plus Ultra performs better than most contractor-grade paint. We’ll spec it honestly — but won’t pretend it lasts as long as Duration or Aura.
Common Questions
Painting answers before you ask.
How often should I repaint my exterior in Central Texas?
A proper Sherwin-Williams Duration or Aura job in Central Texas typically lasts 7–10 years. The south and west elevations (most sun exposure) usually need a refresh first. We can stretch it to 12+ years with annual washing and minor touch-ups.
Is pressure washing enough prep?
No. Pressure wash is step one. Loose paint must be scraped, bare wood must be primed, gaps must be caulked. Skipping any of these is why most cheap paint jobs fail within 18 months. We don’t skip them.
Do I need to pick a color before getting a quote?
No. We quote scope (square footage, prep needed, coats, accent work) separately from paint cost. Pick colors after — we’ll bring samples and walk you through what works with your siding, brick, and HOA palette.
What about mold and mildew on my siding?
We treat mold and mildew with a specialized wash during prep — chlorine bleach or hydrogen peroxide solution depending on substrate. Painting over mold without killing it traps moisture and ruins the new finish. We address it properly.
How long until I can hose down the house after?
Modern exterior paint cures enough for light water within 24–48 hours. We recommend avoiding direct hose pressure for 7 days to let the paint fully cure. Sprinklers? Move them away from the house for a week.
