How soon can you start in Fifth Ward?

Fast for a look, honest about the start. Your Fifth Ward walkthrough is usually days away; the work start depends on the season and goes in writing.

Do you take on small exterior painting jobs?

We do. Small jobs done right are how most of our long-term Fifth Ward customers found us, and many come back later for the bigger scopes.

How much does exterior painting cost in Fifth Ward?

It depends on scope and condition, so we quote Fifth Ward work after seeing it. What we will tell you up front is where the money goes and, if the budget is tight, what we would skip.

Do you cover Fifth Ward?

Fifth Ward 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.

Can you handle other work while you are here?

That is the point of hiring a company that does more than one trade. Painting, carpentry, doors, remodeling: one Fifth Ward scope, one crew, one schedule.

Do you serve all of Harris County?

Yes, Harris County is core coverage for us, Fifth Ward included, along with the neighboring counties in the Houston metro. If a project sits outside it, we say so on the first call instead of padding the price.

Are you licensed and insured?

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

Fifth Ward Exterior Painting

the Fifth Ward area of Houston sits inside Harris County, and the housing stock changes street to street. We set the exterior painting scope after looking at your house rather than off a price sheet, because Afternoon storms in summer force us to work elevations in sequence, not all at once.

What the work involves

Our Exterior Painting scope in Fifth Ward

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
Coatings chosen for sun and moisture exposure, not shelf price
Siding washed and left to dry before coating

Fifth Ward 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.

We do not quote exterior painting sight unseen. Someone comes out to Fifth Ward, measures and inspects, and you get a scope that says what is included and what is not before you commit to anything.

Pricing, honestly

What exterior painting costs in Fifth Ward

How much scraping, sanding and priming the old coating needs
One or two stories, and how much of the house ladders can't reach
Body-only versus body, trim, doors, shutters and gutters
Wood repairs found during prep: rotted trim gets replaced before paint
