How long will the work take?

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

How soon can you start in Settegast?

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.

Do you cover Settegast?

Settegast 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.

Do I need a permit for exterior painting in Settegast?

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.

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 Settegast scope, one crew, one schedule.

Do you take on small exterior painting jobs?

Yes. No minimum theatrics: if the Settegast job is worth doing, it is worth doing right, and it gets the same written scope as a full remodel.

Are you licensed and insured?

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

Settegast Exterior Painting

the Settegast 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 Settegast

Bare wood and rust spots primed
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

Weather sets the rhythm of this work along the Gulf Coast, and Settegast is no exception: humidity stretches dry times, summer storms interrupt exterior schedules, and a crew that plans around both finishes on time. South- and west-facing elevations here take the hardest UV load and fail first.

We do not quote exterior painting sight unseen. Someone comes out to Settegast, 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 Settegast

What does exterior painting cost in Settegast? The honest answer: it depends on a handful of variables we check at the walkthrough. The estimate is free, the quote is written, and the assumptions are spelled out so you can compare it line by line against anyone else's.

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

Why us

Why Settegast homeowners call JM Painting

We are not the cheapest bid in Harris County and do not try to be. The bid that skips preparation is cheaper right up until the work fails, and our Settegast customers tend to be people who have bought that lesson once already.

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