WHAT WE DO
Careful prep for older wood siding, stucco, and stone.
Walls, ceilings, custom millwork, built-ins, accent walls.
Kitchen and bathroom cabinet refresh.
Common in Alamo Heights' older homes.
Fast-turnaround work for homes going on the market.
Exterior accent work.
For homes built before 1978.
Including period-appropriate palettes for historic homes.
WHY EASY PEASY
A 1928 Tudor isn't a 2018 spec build. Older Alamo Heights homes have original wood siding that needs hand-scraping, plaster walls that hide surprises, custom millwork that can't be sprayed without care, and trim profiles that don't exist in any home center. We slow down for these jobs and we price them honestly.
Homes built before 1978 may contain lead paint, and federal law requires EPA Lead-Safe certified contractors for any disturbance of those surfaces. We're certified, we follow the protocols, and we provide the documentation. (If your painter doesn't mention lead-safe practices for a 1940s home, that's a red flag.)
This isn't a market that wants gray-everything. Alamo Heights homeowners often want classical palettes — warm whites, soft creams, period-appropriate greens, deep navy front doors, historic exterior tones that respect the home's era. We pull period-appropriate references when relevant, and we're happy to coordinate with your interior designer or color consultant if you have one.
Alamo Heights jobs typically take longer per square foot than Stone Oak or Schertz jobs because the homes are more complex, the trim is more detailed, and the prep matters more. We bid the time honestly and we don't cut corners to make up margin.
We park where we should, we don't blast music, we clean up daily, and we don't leave the job site looking like a construction zone. In a neighborhood as walkable and community-oriented as Alamo Heights, this matters.

REVIEWS
"We have a 1930s home and were really nervous about hiring a painter — most don't know how to work on older homes. Easy Peasy hand-scraped, primed properly, and used the right products. The result is the best our exterior has looked in years."
— Catherine M., 78209
"John walked through our home with us, listened to what we wanted, and gave us honest feedback about what would work and what wouldn't. The crew was meticulous. Highly recommend."
— Robert P., Olmos Park
"We were on a tight pre-listing timeline and Easy Peasy made it happen without cutting corners. Our house sold in four days. The painting absolutely helped."
— Diana L., Terrell Hills
PRICING & SCOPE
Make up a big chunk of our Alamo Heights work. These jobs take longer per square foot because the prep matters. We hand-scrape failing paint, repair wood rot where we find it, prime properly with the right product for the substrate, and use durable topcoats. Most older-home exteriors in Alamo Heights run $6,500 to $18,000 depending on size, prep needs, trim complexity, and any restoration work required. Newer homes in Terrell Hills custom builds run closer to $5,000 to $12,000.
The most common interior project. The pattern: families remodeling a recently purchased older home, or longtime owners updating from beige-and-tan palettes to lighter neutrals and warmer whites. Full-home interior projects in Alamo Heights typically run $4,000 to $11,000 depending on square footage, trim work, and ceiling work.
Increasingly common as Alamo Heights kitchens get refreshed. Many older kitchens have solid-wood cabinets that are excellent candidates for refinishing rather than replacement — they're often higher quality than what's sold today. Cabinet projects typically run $3,500 to $7,500.
A specialty. We've worked with multiple Alamo Heights and Terrell Hills realtors on fast-turnaround interior repaints to help homes show better. Lead time is often 2–4 weeks, and we work around staging schedules.
