Our specialty

James Hardie siding, installed and painted.

Fiber cement holds paint well, resists rot and stands up to Texas sun, but only when it is installed to the manufacturer's instructions. Clearances, flashing behind butt joints, fastener placement and sealed cut edges are what keep it performing.

We replace rotted wood siding with Hardie, repair damaged sections, and paint primed boards or work with factory-finished ColorPlus products.

  • Full replacement or section repairs
  • Lap, panel, board-and-batten and shingle profiles
  • Wall wrap, flashing and trim details
  • Field painting with 100% acrylic exterior coatings

Finish carpentry

Tongue-and-groove ceilings that stay tight.

Porch ceilings, soffits, interior accent ceilings and walls. We finish the boards on all sides before install where the product calls for it, so seasonal movement does not open up raw wood lines at the joints.

  • Pine, cedar and primed boards
  • Stained, clear-coated or painted
  • Porch ceilings, soffits and interior ceilings
  • Light and fan cutouts planned before install

Prep is the paint job. The paint is just the last coat.

Scraping, sanding, wood repair, caulk and primer decide how long a paint job lasts. We bid the prep your house actually needs.

How we bid

Walked onsite. Bid in writing. Built by our crew.

No online price calculators and no ballpark numbers over the phone. Every floor, wall and elevation is different, so every bid starts with a visit.

  1. Onsite walk-through

    We look at every elevation, probe for rot, check siding and trim condition, measure, and talk through colors and products.

  2. Written, itemized bid

    Prep, repairs, siding, painting and options are listed line by line with one lump-sum total.

  3. Repairs and prep

    Rotted wood is replaced, siding is repaired or installed, and surfaces are cleaned, scraped, caulked and primed.

  4. Finish and walkthrough

    Finish coats go on, the site is cleaned up, and we walk the house with you to check every detail.

Questions

Common questions

Do you give prices over the phone?

No. Siding condition, wood rot, height, access and surface prep vary from house to house, so we walk every job and send a written, itemized bid with one lump-sum total.

Do you install James Hardie siding or just paint it?

Both. We install new fiber cement siding, replace rotted wood siding, repair damaged sections, and paint it.

Can you fix wood rot before painting?

Yes. Rotted siding, trim, fascia and soffit are replaced before painting. Wood repair is itemized in the bid so you can see exactly what is being replaced.

Who chooses the paint?

You choose the colors; we recommend the coating system for the surface. We can sample colors on the house before the full job.

What areas do you serve?
