Painters in Richardson, Texas
House Painters in Richardson, TX
Mid-century Richardson, updated carefully. Richardson is largely mid-century, and the wrong scheme flattens the lines those houses were designed around. We spend real time on the color side of them before we open anything.
Original wood paneling, low-slope fascia, and a lot of single-pane trim that needs glazing repair before it needs paint. We also handle turnover repaints for investors near CityLine on a fixed per-unit price.

What painting costs in Richardson
Richardson's mid-century ranches set the price: low-slope fascia, single-pane window trim and original brick that should not be flattened with the wrong coating. Interiors are priced by room and by how much color decision work is needed; CityLine-area rentals price as turnovers.
| Exterior repaint | $3,500–7,000 for a typical one- or two-story home with siding and trim; $7,000–11,000 when brick is painted too. About $1–3 per square foot of wall. Height, stucco and the amount of prep move it most. |
|---|---|
| Interior | $500–800 for a bedroom and $700–1,200 for a living room, walls only; most whole-home interiors $6,000–12,000. Ceilings add $150–500 and trim $100–200 per room. Tall ceilings and heavy millwork push a room up. |
| Cabinets | $85–125 per door or drawer front; $2,500–6,500 for a full kitchen; islands $1,500–3,000. Door count and the finish system. Refacing usually runs about double a repaint. |
| Brick and limewash | $4,000–5,500 for a one-story painted brick home, $7,000–11,000 for two stories. Limewash and mineral finishes typically add 15–30% over conventional masonry paint. |
| Popcorn ceilings | $1–2 per square foot to remove, plus repainting the new smooth ceiling. A ceiling from before 1980 is lab-tested first, about $25–75 a sample. A positive test changes the job: the texture comes down under asbestos-safe practices, which DFW guides put at $5–10 per square foot. |
| Drywall repair | $50–75 per small hole, or $200–300 for a visit of small repairs; a single larger patch $240–500 in Dallas and Fort Worth. Priced by the patch and the texture around it. Blending a knockdown or orange peel so the repair disappears takes longer than the patch itself. |
| Retexturing | $1–2 per square foot for orange peel, $1.25–2.50 for knockdown, $1.50–3 for skip trowel; a smooth skim coat about $1–1.30. Skim-coating to smooth is the slow one, because it is several thin coats sanded between, and it is what most popcorn removals end with. |

Before you hire
Painting in Richardson — common questions
Should we paint the original wood panelling?
It is a genuine decision rather than an obvious one. Painted, a dark den becomes usable; kept, it is the character of the house. Either way the grooves need degreasing and a bonding primer, and knots a shellac primer.
Why is the fascia the biggest item on the quote?
Shallow-pitch roofs give almost no overhang, so the fascia takes water directly and it is sixty-year-old pine. Scraping, replacing the soft sections and re-caulking the joints is most of the prep on these houses.
Is original mid-century cabinetry worth keeping?
Usually yes — birch and early plywood boxes from that era are often better built than a same-cost replacement. What to check is delaminated edges and whether the layout still works for you.
Will painting the brick ruin the mid-century look?
It can, if the color is wrong — these houses work by contrast, and a flat solid white can erase it. Limewash often suits them better because the brick still reads through. This is worth sample boards on your own wall.
