Texas interior and exterior house painters — sun-faded siding, stucco, repaints, cabinets, and HOA-compliant color jobs.
Handyman work covers the smaller repairs that do not always need a specialty trade: drywall patches, door adjustments, trim, fixtures, fence sections, weatherstripping, and general punch lists.
Use this page when the project is practical and specific, but not clearly plumbing, HVAC, electrical, or roofing. If the request touches licensed work, it should be routed to the proper trade.

FAQ
When is the best time to paint a house exterior in Texas?
Spring and fall are ideal — paint cures poorly above ~95°F and surfaces get too hot midsummer. Good Texas painters work mornings in summer and avoid applying to walls in direct, blazing afternoon sun.
Do Texas painters need a license?
No. Texas has no statewide painting license. The things that actually matter are liability insurance, a clear prep process (power-wash, scrape, prime), and reviews — that's what we screen for before connecting you.
How much does it cost to paint a house in Texas?
Interiors run about $2–$6 per square foot depending on prep and trim. A typical single-story exterior repaint runs $3,000–$6,000; two-story or stucco $5,000–$9,000+. Always get a written scope listing prep, number of coats, and brand.
