For Hewitt homeowners — particularly in Heritage Oaks and Houghton Hills and across McLennan County — Sherwin-Williams Emerald acrylic latex is our default recommendation for full exterior repaint. Typical project: $7,000–$14,000 for a 2,000-2,400 sq ft single-story home with proper prep, two coats, trim and accents. Properly applied, this system holds 10-15 years through Central Texas UV and hail; contractor-grade paint fails in 5-7. Premium upgrade to Benjamin Moore Aura adds roughly 15-20%.

Hewitt painting questions.
Will Heritage Oaks HOA approve a Hewitt repaint color change?
Yes — Heritage Oaks HOA approves color changes from the approved palette on standard submissions. Architectural review required; turnaround 2-3 weeks. Same pattern across Creekwood, Houghton Hills, Forest Glen.
My Hewitt paint has chalking — is repaint enough or do I need siding?
Chalking by itself usually means surface oxidation — paint is past its useful life but substrate is fine. Glacier walks the siding for substrate health during the free walkthrough. If Hardie or LP underneath is sound, a proper-prep Sherwin-Williams Emerald repaint will give 10-15 years. If substrate is failing Masonite or hardboard, repaint will fail in 1-2 years — re-side instead.
How much does exterior painting cost in Hewitt?
A typical Hewitt-area home (2,000-2,800 sq ft, 2,000-2,400 sq ft of paintable surface) runs $7,000-$14,000 for a Sherwin-Williams Emerald exterior repaint with proper prep, two coats, trim, and 1-year Glacier labor warranty. Benjamin Moore Aura premium upgrade adds roughly 15-20%. Multi-color systems (body + trim + accent + door) push the upper end of the range.
How long does a Hewitt exterior paint job take?
From signed contract to install start: typically 2-3 weeks. On-site work runs 4-6 working days for most Hewitt homes — day 1-2 is prep (pressure wash, scrape, caulk, prime), day 3-5 is body color (two coats), day 6 is trim and accents. We work full days weather permitting; rain delays push the timeline by however many days we lose.
When should I choose Benjamin Moore Aura over SW Emerald in Hewitt?
Two scenarios. (1) Deep architectural colors — Tricorn Black, Iron Ore, Urbane Bronze, deep navy. Aura’s Color Lock technology holds these significantly better in McLennan County UV than standard formulations. (2) Premium properties where the 15-20% upcharge is rounding error against project value — Aura’s hand and depth on hand-applied finishes (front doors, garage doors) is visibly different. For mid-tier homes in standard earth-tone palettes, SW Emerald is the right answer.
