WHAT WE DO
Hand-scraping, wood rot repair, and period-appropriate priming on original wood siding and stucco.
Walls, ceilings, plaster surfaces, original built-ins, accent walls, and intricate millwork.
Kitchen and bathroom cabinet refresh — many Olmos Park kitchens have solid-wood originals worth saving.
Pre-war homes have trim profiles you won't find anywhere else. We work carefully and don't spray what should be cut in.
Fast-turnaround interior and exterior work. We work around staging and inspection schedules.
Period-appropriate accent colors — deep forest greens, navy, oxblood, and colonial black.
EPA Lead-Safe certified for pre-1978 homes. RRP protocols followed. Full documentation provided.
Era-specific palettes for Craftsman, Tudor, Colonial Revival, and Spanish Eclectic architecture. Free with every estimate.
WHY EASY PEASY
A 1927 Craftsman bungalow isn't a standard paint job. Original wood siding needs hand-scraping, proper drying windows between coats, and primers that bond to weathered wood without trapping moisture. Plaster walls need a different approach than modern drywall. We've worked on enough Olmos Park homes to know exactly where the surprises hide — and how to deal with them without adding mystery charges to your bill.
Virtually every home in Olmos Park was built before 1978, which means lead paint is a real consideration on any exterior or interior project that disturbs existing surfaces. Federal law requires EPA Lead-Safe certified contractors for this work. We're certified, we follow the RRP protocols on every applicable job, and we provide the required documentation to you at completion. If a painter quotes your 1935 home without ever mentioning lead paint, ask why.
Olmos Park isn't a trendy-neutral market. The homes here have architectural identity — Craftsman overhangs, Tudor half-timbering, Spanish Eclectic arches — and the paint choices should honor that. We bring era-specific color references to every consultation and won't try to talk you into gray-everything if your 1930 Tudor calls for something warmer and more considered.
Older-home exteriors in Olmos Park take longer per square foot than a new stucco build in Stone Oak — and that's appropriate. The prep work is more involved, the surfaces are more variable, and cutting corners shows up fast on original wood. We give honest timelines, and we hold to them. If something unexpected comes up during prep, you'll hear from us before we make a call.
Olmos Park is a small city with close neighbors and attentive residents. We park where we're supposed to, keep noise to a minimum, clean up every single day, and treat the surrounding properties with the same care we give yours. We've never had a neighbor complaint in Olmos Park, and we intend to keep it that way.

REVIEWS
"Our house was built in 1931 and we'd had bad experiences with painters who didn't understand older homes. Easy Peasy was completely different — they hand-scraped, talked us through the lead-safe process, and the exterior looks stunning. Worth every penny."
— Margaret B., Olmos Park 78212
"They brought period color swatches to the consultation that actually fit our 1926 Craftsman. I'd expected to fight for something non-generic — instead they already had exactly what I was hoping for. The crew was meticulous and the colors are perfect."
— Thomas W., Contour Drive
"Hired Easy Peasy to repaint our interior before listing. They finished in under two weeks, worked around the stagers, and our realtor said the paint job was one of the best she'd seen on a pre-war home. Sold in six days."
— Karen S., Larkwood Road
PRICING & SCOPE
The most involved exterior work we do. Original wood siding requires hand-scraping, wood rot assessment and repair, extended drying windows, and the right primer system before any topcoat. We don't rush this process, and we don't price it like a stucco job. Most older-home exteriors in Olmos Park run $7,000 to $20,000 depending on square footage, siding condition, prep complexity, and any restoration work required.
Common when families purchase a home that needs updating, or when longtime owners are refreshing after years of the same palette. Olmos Park interiors often include plaster walls, original built-ins, and intricate trim — all of which add time and care to the project. Full interiors in this neighborhood typically run $4,000 to $12,000 depending on scope, ceiling height, and the amount of original millwork involved.
Solid-wood original cabinets are common in Olmos Park kitchens — and they're often far higher quality than anything sold today. Refinishing rather than replacing is almost always the right call. Cabinet projects here typically run $3,500 to $7,500 depending on cabinet count, condition, and finish style.
We work regularly with Olmos Park realtors on tight pre-listing timelines. A fresh interior or a cleaned-up exterior can significantly improve how a historic home photographs and shows. We typically complete pre-listing interior projects within 2–3 weeks and work around staging and inspection schedules from day one.
Included free with every estimate. We bring Craftsman, Colonial Revival, Tudor, Spanish Eclectic, and bungalow-era reference palettes to every consultation. If your home has a specific architectural era, we'll have appropriate samples and color codes ready before we arrive.

FAQ
Yes — pre-war homes are a specialty. We hand-scrape original wood siding, use lead-safe practices on pre-1978 surfaces, and select primers and topcoats designed for older substrates. We've worked on homes in Olmos Park dating from the 1910s through the 1950s.
Yes. We hold current EPA RRP (Renovation, Repair, and Painting) certification and follow all required protocols on homes built before 1978. Required documentation is provided at job completion. If your painter doesn't mention this on an Olmos Park home, that's a red flag.
Yes — and it's work we take seriously. Original wood siding requires hand-scraping, proper drying time between steps, and the right primer before any topcoat goes on. We don't rush this step and we don't spray what should be cut in by hand.
We bring Craftsman, Colonial Revival, Tudor, Spanish Eclectic, and bungalow-era reference palettes to every consultation. We'll show you what worked historically and what looks good on your home's specific architecture. Color consultation is free with every estimate.
Frequently. We coordinate directly with designers and work to their exact specifications. If you don't have a designer, we include a free color consultation with every estimate and can refer you to several San Antonio designers we work with regularly.
Pre-war exteriors with original wood siding typically take 6–10 working days on-site. Homes requiring wood rot repair or extensive prep may run longer. We give you a realistic schedule before we start — and we hold to it.
