How soon can you start in Downtown?

Call (281) 935-7012 and we will get a walkthrough on the calendar, typically inside the week. Start dates depend on the current schedule and, for exterior work, the weather, and we tell you both straight.

What does exterior painting actually include?

Your written scope lists it line by line. As a baseline: Siding washed and left to dry before coating, and failed caulk cut out and replaced at joints, windows and doors.

Are you licensed and insured?

Licensed & Insured, with documentation available up front. Ask when we come out to Downtown for the walkthrough and we will bring it.

How long will the work take?

Honest answer: we tell you after we see it, in writing, as a working-day range for your Downtown home. What we never do is promise a date to win the job and slide it later.

Do you take on small exterior painting jobs?

We do, gladly. A day of exterior painting in Downtown slots into an existing route, and small jobs are where most of our repeat customers started.

Can you handle other work while you are here?

Usually yes. We run painting, exterior repair and carpentry, doors and trim, and remodeling, so related Downtown work can go on the same scope instead of a second trip.

How much does exterior painting cost in Downtown?

Two Downtown homes can need very different amounts of work behind the same-looking job, so the honest answer comes after a free walkthrough: a written number with its assumptions listed.

Downtown Exterior Painting

JM Painting & Remodeling handles exterior painting throughout the Downtown area of Houston. Prep-first exterior repaints. Every Downtown job runs the same way regardless of how large it is: the surface gets prepared before anything is applied, and no step gets skipped at your house because it is hidden once the work is finished.

What the work involves

Our Exterior Painting scope in Downtown

Coatings chosen for sun and moisture exposure, not shelf price
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
Bare wood and rust spots primed

Downtown 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.

Four stages, every time: a free on-site look at your Downtown home, a written quote you can hold us to, the work itself done in sequence, and a final walkthrough where you sign off before we do.

Pricing, honestly

What exterior painting costs in Downtown

The price question deserves a straight answer, so here it is: your Downtown number depends on the variables below, we measure them at a free walkthrough, and the quote you get is written with its assumptions listed. No per-square-foot folklore.

Coating grade: the difference shows up in years, not in the first week
One or two stories, and how much of the house ladders can't reach
Wood repairs found during prep: rotted trim gets replaced before paint
Body-only versus body, trim, doors, shutters and gutters

Why us

Why Downtown homeowners call JM Painting

Experience shows up in the boring parts of a job. After 20+ years we know where exterior painting goes wrong, so a Downtown quote covers the real work up front instead of growing halfway through, and the crew that starts your job finishes it.

Touch-ups and callbacks are where distance shows. Harris County is a standing route for our crews, so coming back to Downtown to make something right is a detour, not a lost day, and it actually happens.
