What we paint
Four kinds of work, one standard of prep
Whether it is a bedroom or a shopping center, the sequence does not change: clean it, fix it, prime it, then paint it.
Interior painting
Walls, ceilings, trim, doors and cabinets — masked, prepped and cut in clean, with your furniture covered and your floors protected.
See interior work →Exterior painting
Power wash, scrape, feather-sand, 40-year caulk and primer on bare wood — the prep that decides whether your paint lasts seven years or two.
See exterior work →
Cabinets painting
Degreased, hardware off, bonding primer first — the step most painters skip — then a customized stain-glaze and varnish that survives daily use.

Commercial painting
Shopping centers, multi-family, offices, warehouses, HOAs and industrial. Nights and weekends when daytime work would cost you customers.

Why homeowners pick us
Six things we will not do differently
The owner quotes it. The owner runs it.
No middle-men, no outside estimators, no part-time sales people. An owner walks your home, writes the estimate, and supervises the project start to finish.
The price is the price.
Your contract names the exact products and materials, with no hidden costs. That number is honored from the first day to the final invoice — we do not re-price a job at the end.
A trained foreman on site every day.
Every crew has a foreman trained by Tex Painting, and that foreman is on your job — not running it by phone from somewhere across town.
Three-year written warranty.
A Limited Three Year Warranty of Quality — 36 months — covering peeling, blistering or chipping caused by our workmanship.
Prep is the job.
Power wash, scrape the failing paint, feather-sand it smooth, seal with 40-year caulk, prime every spot of bare wood. Paint only covers what prep fixes.
Family-owned and fully insured.
Locally owned in Austin since 2005 and never nationally franchised. Fully insured — plenty of contractors cut that corner to quote lower. We do not.
How it goes
From your first call to the final walk-around
Free estimate at your home
About 45 minutes. We walk every surface with you, talk through what needs repair before it needs paint, and leave you a written price that names the products going on your house.
Pick your colors
Color consultation with Sherwin-Williams products. Take the fan deck around the house and look at your samples in real Austin daylight — change your mind before the first coat, not after.
Prep, then paint
The foreman is on site each day. Power wash, scrape, sand, caulk and prime come before anything gets its finish coat, and the site gets cleaned up every night.
Walk it together
We walk the finished job with you and tape anything that is not right so the crew can fix it. Most Austin projects finish in about three days; small jobs take one, large exteriors up to seven.
The part nobody quotes on
Prep is what you are actually paying for
Two painters can quote the same house and mean completely different work. Here is what is included in ours, in writing, before anyone opens a can.
- Power wash the whole house ahead of the start date, so the surface is clean and dry.
- Scrape every bit of failing paint instead of painting over it.
- Feather-sand the edges smooth by hand, so you cannot see where the old paint stopped.
- 40-year caulk in every joint that could let moisture behind the wood.
- Prime every spot of bare wood before its finish coat.
- Clean up nightly and walk the finished job with you at the end.
What they said afterward
Reviews from Austin homeowners
Tex Painting did an excellent job painting my exterior home in Cedar Park. I had several other painting contractors come to my home, only 3 out of 7 actually submitted a quote. Scott Miller with Tex Painting gave me a quote on the spot, which I really appreciated. They were not the cheapest quote I received but not even close to being the most expensive. The crew that painted my house was top notch, even patiently awaited my last minute color change. I could not be more pleased with the outcome. I actually feel proud to come home. I highly recommend!
Tex Painting just repaired and painted my home’s exterior. If I had known it could look that good at such a decent price, I would have done this much earlier. They were considerably lower than the two other quotes I had, mainly because they recommended low-cost fixes instead of major replacements. They responded promptly to my request for a quote and were able to start a week later. The job went right on schedule, everybody was very nice, and the work looks great. The painter did a meticulous job. He went around the house checking for any problems, tagging them and fixing them. I will definitely use them again.
All we had to do was meet with Tex Painting, get a quote, and then schedule the job. Everyone that I met with was extremely professional and great to work with, and they finished our entire interior in less than 2 days and did a fantastic job. We had gotten several quotes and found that their price was fair and the quality was excellent. We’re very pleased with the experience (which can sometimes be a nightmare) and the job that they did. I’d highly recommend Tex Painting!

The estimate is the invoice
Your contract lists the exact products and materials going on your house, with no hidden costs. We do not discover extra charges at the end of the job — the price is honored from start to finish.
Straight answers
Questions homeowners ask us
How much does it cost to paint a house in Austin?
Price comes down to square footage, the condition of the surfaces, what they are made of (siding, stucco, brick, Hardie), and how many colors you want. That is why the estimate happens at your house instead of over the phone: an owner walks every surface, writes down the exact products and materials, and gives you a fixed price. Whatever the contract says is what you pay at the end — Tex Painting does not re-price a job on completion.
How long does a paint job take?
The average Tex Painting project in Austin takes about three days. A small job can be finished in one day, and a large exterior can run up to seven. Surface condition, how much repair work is needed, and weather on exterior jobs are what move the number.
How long does exterior paint last in Austin?
Most exterior paint jobs in the Austin area last about five to seven years. Sun exposure, the quality of the paint, how well the surface was prepped, and whether the house gets washed occasionally all change that. A properly prepped and primed surface is the single biggest factor.
Do you paint kitchen cabinets, or only walls?
Both. Cabinets get degreased first, hardware removed or taped off, then a bonding clear primer — the step most painters skip — followed by two coats of a customized stain-glaze and one or two varnish coats.
Are you licensed and insured?
Tex Painting is fully insured. Texas does not license residential painting contractors, so insurance is the thing to actually ask about — and plenty of contractors quote lower precisely because they carry none. Ask any painter you are considering for a certificate of insurance.
What does the warranty cover?
A Limited Three Year Warranty of Quality: for 36 months after completion, Tex Painting repairs peeling, blistering or chipping paint that resulted from defective workmanship. It does not cover ordinary wear and tear, damage from moisture or structural movement, or horizontal surfaces such as decks and railings.
Do you use your own crews or subcontractors?
Crews work under a foreman trained by Tex Painting, and that foreman is present at the job site. An owner writes the estimate and supervises the project — the company does not use outside estimators or commissioned sales people.
What paint do you use?
Sherwin-Williams. The specific line and sheen are written into your contract before work starts, so you know exactly what is going on your walls rather than finding out afterward.
