Tired of Paint Jobs That Don't Survive Texas Summers?
These are the stories we hear at almost every Austin estimate. Each one has a fix.
Paint That Gives Up Early
Exterior paint peeling, chalking or fading after just two Texas summers. Usually the prep was skipped.
Quotes That Keep Growing
A low bid that grows with every change order once the work starts.
Crews You Never Met
Subcontracted crews nobody vouches for, leaving messes and missed spots.
Fumes and Disruption
Worry about paint smell with kids, pets or staff in the building.
Our fix: prep first, fix the price in writing, and send our own crew. Why prep matters

How to Compare Painting Contractors in Austin
Two quotes can look alike on paper. Here's what to check, and how we handle each one.
| What to check | Bluebonnet Ridge | Typical low bid |

| Surface prep | Washing, scraping, caulking and priming listed in your quote | Often a quick rinse, then straight to paint |
| Price | One fixed written quote, no surprise change orders | Low bid that grows once work starts |
| Who paints | Our own in-house crew, led by Owen Callahan | Subcontracted crews you never met |
| Paint for Texas sun | Heat- and UV-rated acrylics, elastomeric for stucco | Often a builder-grade paint line |
| Insurance | $2M general liability plus workers' comp for every crew member | Ask for the certificate before you sign |
| After the job | 3-year workmanship warranty on interior and exterior work | Short or verbal-only warranty |
How Much Does House Painting Cost in Austin?
Honest answer: it depends on your home, and anyone who quotes a flat price over the phone is guessing. In Austin, painting prices move with square footage, the number of stories, the surface (wood, fiber cement, stucco or drywall), how much prep the job needs and the paint line.
What we can promise is how the price is built. After a free on-site estimate, you get one fixed written quote that lists every prep step, the number of coats and the products. It does not change once the work starts. If you add something, we price it in writing first.
Want a feel for numbers before we visit? Our cost guides break down what drives the price for the three projects we're asked about most. For prep, color and hiring questions, browse all of our Austin painting guides.
What Homeowners Say About Our Painting Crews
"They pressure washed, scraped and caulked for two full days before any paint went on. The quote didn't change by a dollar, and our west wall finally looks even."
"Our oak kitchen cabinets look brand new. Every door was labeled and went back exactly where it came from, and the kitchen was cleaned up each evening."
"We needed our restaurant repainted without closing. Owen's crew worked overnight with low-odor paint and we opened for lunch on schedule."
