Houston
House painting in Houston: humid Gulf air and hurricane-season exteriors. Interior and exterior painting, surface prep, trim work and full repaints are the usual requests here.
Homes and paintwork in Houston
Houston is mostly slab-on-grade homes with brick, wood and fibre-cement siding, plus townhouses and large apartment complexes. High humidity encourages mildew on shaded walls.
Common surfaces here include wood siding, stucco, brick, fibre-cement and trim; homes built before 1978 may have lead paint under later coats.
Climate, UV and humidity
Hurricane season and summer heat push exterior schedules into cooler, drier windows when possible. Pre-1978 bungalows in older neighbourhoods often need lead-safe prep.
A painter checks adhesion, chalking, mildew, failed caulk and the condition of the substrate before specifying prep and product — because a fresh topcoat on a weak base fails early.
Licensing and lead-safe rules
Texas has no statewide licence specifically for residential painters; TDLR does not license painters as a trade, though some cities require contractor registration or permits. Federally, EPA RRP firm certification is required when paid work disturbs paint in pre-1978 homes and child-occupied facilities.
Intense heat, UV and hail across Texas bake and crack exterior paint; humid Gulf weather encourages mildew on shaded walls. Brick, stone, wood siding and stucco each need different prep. Check city rules before scaffolding on the public right-of-way, and ask for EPA lead-safe (RRP) certification on pre-1978 homes.
Typical painting work in Houston
Every property is different, so it is inspected before any work is quoted.
If the home was built before 1978, ask for EPA RRP (lead-safe) firm certification before paint is disturbed. Stay off ladders and scaffolding yourself.
