Do you take on small exterior painting jobs?

Yes. Since we already run crews through Harris County, smaller Central Southwest jobs slot into existing routes rather than needing a dedicated mobilization.

Do you cover Central Southwest?

Central Southwest is home turf: it sits in Harris County, which we cover end to end, so there is no travel surcharge and no long wait for a crew.

How much does exterior painting cost in Central Southwest?

The cost section above lists what actually moves the number in Harris County. Pinning yours down takes a free walkthrough and comes back in writing.

Do I need a permit for exterior painting in Central Southwest?

It depends on the scope. Purely cosmetic work usually needs no permit, while anything structural, electrical or plumbing-related often does. We check the rules that apply to your address and handle what is required before work begins.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes: licensed & insured, and we will show you current documentation before Central Southwest work starts, not after you ask twice.

What does exterior painting actually include?

The default Central Southwest scope: Siding washed and left to dry before coating; Failed caulk cut out and replaced at joints, windows and doors; Peeling paint scraped back to a sound edge and feathered. Anything beyond that is listed separately on your quote.

Can you handle other work while you are here?

That is common. Being on site in Central Southwest already makes adjacent work cheaper than bringing a crew back out later.

Central Southwest is one of the City of Houston's designated super neighborhoods, which means city permitting and inspection rules apply rather than a suburban city's. We confirm what a given scope needs before work starts.

A exterior painting job in Central Southwest starts with a free walkthrough, moves to a written scope you approve, then the work itself, then a punch walk with you before we call it finished.

Pricing, honestly

What exterior painting costs in Central Southwest

Why us

Why Central Southwest homeowners call JM Painting

Homeowners in Central Southwest mostly hire us twice: once to see if we are who we say we are, and again for everything after. 20+ years in, that is still the model — earn the small job, keep the standards identical on the big one.

Because we run regular routes through Harris County, a Central Southwest job is local work for us. That means realistic scheduling, and a crew that comes back quickly if anything needs a touch-up.
