Frequently Asked Questions

In San Antonio’s hot, humid climate, you can typically expect exterior paint to last around 5–7 years. The lifespan depends on the surface material, previous prep work, and weather exposure. We use Sherwin-Williams exterior paint systems that are built to handle Texas sun, rain, and temperature swings for a longer-lasting finish.

Spring and fall are usually ideal for exterior painting in San Antonio. These seasons bring mild temperatures and moderate humidity, which helps paint cure properly. We avoid the hottest summer days and rainy periods, and always schedule jobs based on the local weather forecast.

Most interior walls need repainting every 5–7 years, but high-traffic areas like hallways, kitchens, and kids’ rooms may need touch-ups or repainting sooner. If your walls are scuffed, faded, or hard to clean, it may be time for a fresh coat.

We ask that you remove small items and wall decor before we arrive. If possible, push lighter furniture to the center of the room. Our team will handle covering furniture and protecting floors, and we’ll carefully move larger pieces as needed.

Yes! We always include basic drywall repair in our prep process. This includes patching holes, smoothing cracks, caulking trim, and sanding surfaces before painting. We also spot prime areas as needed to ensure the best paint adhesion.

We recommend and primarily use Sherwin-Williams® paints for their durability, color selection, and performance. For interior walls, we typically use products like SuperPaint® or Cashmere®, and for exterior work we trust Duration® or Emerald® paints.

You’re welcome to choose your own paint brand, but we stand behind the quality of Sherwin-Williams.

Absolutely. Trim, baseboards, crown molding, and doors are all part of a complete interior or exterior job. We use semi-gloss or satin finishes for these high-touch surfaces to ensure they’re durable and easy to clean.

We recommend:

- Eggshell or satin for interior walls – washable with a soft glow

- Flat for ceilings – hides imperfections without shine

- Semi-gloss for trim and doors – durable and easy to wipe

- Satin for exterior siding – balances durability and appearance

- Semi-gloss for exterior trim and front doors – adds definition and protection
