What we can quote
Everything on one estimate
Interior
Walls, ceilings, trim, doors and cabinets — masked, prepped and cut in clean, with your furniture covered and your floors protected.
Exterior
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.
Cabinets
Degreased, hardware off, bonding primer first — the step most painters skip — then a customized stain-glaze and varnish that survives daily use.
Commercial
Shopping centers, multi-family, offices, warehouses, HOAs and industrial. Nights and weekends when daytime work would cost you customers.

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.
