Garland Homes, Old and New
Painting in Garland, TX is mostly a question of how old the house is. The city grew fast from the 1950s through the 1970s, and many of those homes still have original wood trim, built-in shelving, and solid kitchen cabinets that were built well and just look dated.
The right paint can bring those features back without a remodel. Newer homes have their own needs, and we plan around each house instead of running the same job twice.
Painting for Every Kind of Garland House
From post-war brick ranches to two-story homes from the 1990s and 2000s, no two jobs here are quite the same, so the plan starts with the house.
Interior House Painting
We paint living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, bathrooms, hallways, and stairwells. In older homes that often means painting over dark wood paneling, with a stain-blocking primer so the wood doesn't bleed through. Sheen is how shiny the finish is, and it matters more than people expect: washable satin or semi-gloss for kitchens and bathrooms, matte or eggshell in living spaces, where it hides small imperfections. We'll help you choose.
Exterior Painting for Garland’s Climate
Between the sun, spring storms, and humidity, exterior paint has a hard life here, and homes near Lake Ray Hubbard and Duck Creek often get mildew on shaded walls. We start with a low-pressure wash, scrape what is failing, replace cracked caulk, prime bare wood, and work around peak heat so the paint cures properly. Rotted boards get shown to you and quoted before we paint over anything.
Wall, Ceiling, and Trim Painting
Walls and ceilings get even coverage and sharp lines, usually two finish coats with primer on bare or patched spots. Older trim needs a second look. Baseboards, crown molding, and window casings are often glossy oil-based paint, and latex over it peels, so we degloss or scuff-sand and use a bonding primer first.
Cabinets, Doors, and Built-Ins
Painting solid older cabinets costs far less than replacing them and can change a kitchen completely. Doors and hardware come off, then we degrease, scuff-sand, prime, and apply a cabinet-grade enamel built for daily use. It takes several weeks to fully harden, so we'll tell you how gently to treat it. Interior doors and mid-century built-in shelving get the same treatment.
Prep and Drywall Repair Before Painting
One paint job outlasts another by years mostly because of the prep. We fill holes, repair cracks, patch damaged drywall, and match the orange-peel or knockdown texture so repairs vanish. If a stain points to an active leak, we'll say so, because painting over a leak just hides it for a season.
Lead-Safe Painting for Pre-1978 Homes
A big share of Garland's housing predates 1978, when lead-based paint was still in use. Under the EPA's Renovation, Repair and Painting (RRP) Rule, work that disturbs those surfaces has to be tested for lead or handled as if lead is present, with containment, dust control, and specialized cleanup. We work that way in those homes.

FAQs
Get a quoteSize matters, but prep matters more: a small room with cracked walls can cost more than a bigger one in good shape. Cabinets and detailed trim eat hours that open walls don't, and homes built before 1978 may need lead-safe practices, which add time. We write up an estimate once we've reviewed the project.
The scope, the prep and repairs, the products we plan to use, and the timeline. You see it before we start.
Mostly the weather and the prep. A house with a lot of peeling paint and bad caulk takes longer than one that only needs a fresh coat, and rain, wind, or a 100 degree week will push the schedule around. We'll give you a realistic window in the estimate, not a promise we can't control.
Spring and fall, usually. Summer painting works with early starts and a plan around direct sun, and winter work is fine on mild days within the paint's temperature limits.
Many need it every 5 to 10 years. Wood siding and sun-facing walls tend to go first, and fiber cement or shaded walls last longer. Prep quality and the paint itself matter as much as the siding.
For solid older cabinets, usually yes. It costs far less than replacing them and changes the whole kitchen, as long as the cleaning, sanding, and priming are thorough. Otherwise the paint chips right where hands grab it.
Usually within a day or two of the final coat. Just don't slam them: the paint keeps hardening for several weeks, and that is when a rushed scrub takes a chip out.
We wash and treat it before painting, then use exterior primers and paints with mildew resistance. That slows regrowth but can't stop it on walls that stay shaded and damp, so trim shrubs back from the house and keep sprinklers off the siding.
Yes, but not by painting straight over it. We confirm what is on there, degloss or scuff-sand the glossy surface, then use a bonding primer. Skip that and the new paint tends to peel right off.
Some do, including some newer subdivisions near Firewheel. Check your HOA guidelines first. We'll hand you color names and samples for the application.
Most people stay home. We use low-VOC paints, which cut the fumes but aren't odor-free, and a few stain-blocking or cabinet primers smell stronger. We'll warn you if yours needs one. We work room by room with the space ventilated, so most of the house stays usable.
It can be. A house from before 1978 may have lead-based paint under the newer layers, so those surfaces get tested for lead or treated as if it is there before any sanding or scraping. Tell us when the house was built and we'll explain what changes.
