Serving Olmos Park — 78212
House Painters in Olmos Park, TX
Olmos Park is one of San Antonio's oldest incorporated cities — and it shows in the homes. From the 1920s Craftsman bungalows along Contour Drive to the Tudor revivals near Olmos Creek and the stately Colonial Revival estates on Larkwood Road, the character here is irreplaceable. Painting these homes well takes patience, the right products, and a crew that understands what they're working with.
Easy Peasy Painting has been working in the 78212 zip code since 2015. We specialize in older homes — we take extra care with older homes and prep them properly before painting, careful with original wood siding, and knowledgeable about the period palettes that suit this neighborhood's architecture.
What painting looks like in Olmos Park
Olmos Park is one of the oldest neighborhoods we work in: 1920s and 30s Spanish, Tudor and Colonial homes with plaster walls, stucco exteriors, wood windows, and details that do not exist in newer houses. Painting here is restoration work as much as painting. The wrong prep or the wrong product on old stucco or plaster shows immediately.
A 1930s stucco home with hairline cracking across the whole front and plaster walls inside that had been patched a dozen times. Outside, we washed, filled the cracks with an elastomeric patch, and used an elastomeric coating on the stucco so the cracks would not telegraph back through. Inside, we skim-coated the worst plaster in the living room, sanded it smooth, and painted the walls flat and the woodwork in satin. Eight days total. It is the kind of house where you slow down.
The question we get most from Olmos Park: "Do you know how to work on plaster?" Yes. It is a different process than drywall, and we will walk you through exactly what we are going to do before we start.

WHY EASY PEASY
Why Olmos Park homeowners choose Easy Peasy Painting
We know how to work on pre-war homes.
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.
We take extra care with pre-1978 homes, and we take it seriously.
Virtually every home in Olmos Park was built before 1978, so older paint layers are a real consideration on any project that disturbs existing surfaces. We take extra care with older homes, prep them properly before painting, and walk you through the prep plan. If a painter quotes your 1935 home without ever mentioning prep, ask why.
We respect the aesthetic of this neighborhood.
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.
We don't rush jobs that shouldn't be rushed.
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.
We're quiet and respectful in established neighborhoods.
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.

PRICING & SCOPE
Common Olmos Park painting
projects (what to expect)
Exterior repaints on pre-war homes
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.
Whole-home interior repaints
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.
Cabinet Refinishing
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.
Pre-listing repaints
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.
Period-appropriate color consultation
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
Frequently Asked Questions
Olmos Park Painting
Can you paint a 1930s Craftsman bungalow in Olmos Park?
Yes — pre-war homes are a specialty. We hand-scrape original wood siding, take extra care with 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.
How do you handle older homes with lead paint?
Homes built before 1978 may have old layers of paint underneath. We take extra care with older homes and prep them properly before painting: containment, careful scraping and cleanup, and we walk you through the prep plan at the estimate.
Do you paint original wood siding?
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.
Can you help with period-appropriate exterior colors?
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.
Do you work with interior designers?
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.
How long does an exterior repaint take on an older Olmos Park home?
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.
