House Painters in The Colony, TX
Different Roofing has house painters in The Colony, TX who paint exteriors, interiors, trim and fascia for homes across Dallas–Fort Worth, and who fix the drywall and ceilings that a roof leak leaves behind. Most painting companies only see a wall. Because roofing is our main trade, we also see why a ceiling stained, why fascia paint keeps peeling, or why one side of the house fades twice as fast, and we fix the cause before we put a brush to it.
If you have been searching for house painters near me or home painters near me and want one crew that can handle the roof, the gutters, the trim and the paint, that is the work we do every week. We are a residential painting contractor first and foremost: houses, garages, fences, decks and the rooms inside them.

Exterior Painting Built for the Texas Sun
North Texas is hard on exterior paint. West- and south-facing walls take direct afternoon sun from May through September, wood trim swells after spring storms and shrinks again in August, and hail can chip paint off trim and siding in a single afternoon. A paint job that looks fine for one summer and then cracks and chalks usually failed in the prep, not the paint.
Our exterior painting starts with the surface. We wash off dirt and chalky old paint, scrape and sand anything that is loose, replace rotted trim boards instead of painting over them, and caulk the gaps around windows, doors and trim where water gets in. Bare wood gets primer. Then we apply quality exterior paint at the right thickness, with extra attention to the sunny sides of the house and the trim that sees the most weather.
Painting Brick Houses
Painting a brick house is one of the most popular updates we see in DFW, especially on homes from the 1990s and 2000s with orange or red brick. Brick is porous, so it needs to be cleaned and allowed to dry, and it needs a coating made for masonry that lets moisture escape instead of trapping it. We talk through color with you, paint the brick, trim and garage door together, and keep paint off the roof, windows and walkways.
Trim and Fascia Painting During Roof Work
The best time to paint fascia and trim is while the roof is being done. The roof edge is already open, any rotted fascia gets replaced, and the new boards can be primed and painted before the gutters go back up. On Grandview Drive in Argyle, we replaced a worn 3-tab roof with Class 4 architectural shingles, painted the fascia and replaced the windows, so the homeowner had one company and one schedule for the whole exterior refresh. On Overlook Court in The Colony, the exterior paint was part of a whole-house project that also included a new roof, gutters, windows and foundation repair.

Interior House Painters
When people look for interior painting companies near me, they usually want three things: a clean job, straight lines, and a crew that shows up when it says it will. Our interior house painters paint walls, ceilings, trim and doors, and kitchen and bathroom cabinets. We move and cover furniture, protect floors, patch nail holes and dings, caulk trim gaps, and leave the room ready to use.
Every interior job is quoted after we see it, because a few things change the cost more than the square footage:
- Wall condition. Smooth walls with a few nail holes go quickly. Cracks, old water stains and patched areas need more repair and primer first.
- Ceiling height. Two-story entries, vaulted living rooms and stairwells need taller ladders or scaffolding.
- Color change. Going from a dark color to a light one, or covering stains, takes extra coats.
- Trim, doors and cabinets. Detail work takes longer than walls, and cabinets need cleaning, sanding and a harder finish to hold up to daily use.
- Furniture and access. An empty room is faster than a lived-in one, and we plan around how you use the house.
We give you a free written estimate that spells out which rooms, which surfaces and how many coats, so you know exactly what you are getting.
Choosing Colors and Sheen
Sheen matters as much as color. Flat and matte finishes hide small wall flaws and work well on ceilings and in bedrooms. Eggshell and satin are easier to wipe clean, so they suit living areas, hallways and kids' rooms. Semi-gloss stands up to scrubbing on trim, doors, kitchens and bathrooms. Outside, a satin or low-sheen finish on the body of the house with a semi-gloss on trim is a look that holds up well in the sun. If you are stuck between colors, we can paint sample patches on the actual wall so you can see them in morning and evening light before you decide. A color that looks soft in the store can look much brighter on a west wall at 5 p.m.
Drywall Repair and Ceiling Water Damage Repair
A brown ring on the ceiling is often the first sign of a roof leak. It is tempting to paint over it, but if the leak is still there, the stain comes back after the next storm, and wet drywall can sag, crumble or grow mold behind the paint. That is why our ceiling water damage repair always starts on the roof.
- Fix the roof first. We find where the water is getting in, whether it is a missing shingle, a failed pipe boot, flashing at a wall or chimney, or hail damage, and repair it. See roof repair.
- Let it dry and check it. We make sure the drywall and insulation above it are dry, and cut out any section that is soft, sagging or stained through.
- Patch the drywall. Small spots get patched; larger areas get new drywall, tape and mud, then texture matched to the rest of the ceiling or wall.
- Prime and repaint. A stain-blocking primer keeps the old water mark from bleeding through, then we repaint so the repair disappears.
Our drywall repair also covers walls with cracks, holes and dents, but we are especially useful when the damage came from above. If a storm caused the leak, we document the roof and interior damage with photos and meet your adjuster at the property. Then one company fixes the roof, the drywall and the paint.
Fence and Deck Staining
We also stain and seal wood fences and decks. Fresh stain helps cedar and pine stand up to the Texas sun and keeps boards from turning gray and splitting as fast. Fence staining is covered on our fence page, and deck staining and sealing on our deck page.
How a Painting Job Runs
- Free estimate. We walk the house with you, look at the surfaces and any damage, talk through colors and sheen, and give you a written estimate.
- Repairs first. Rotted trim, leaking roof areas, and damaged drywall are fixed before painting, so the new paint goes on a sound surface.
- Prep and protection. We cover floors, furniture, plants and walkways, then wash, scrape, sand, caulk and prime as needed.
- Paint. We apply the coats called for in your estimate, cutting in clean lines at ceilings, trim and brick.
- Walkthrough. We walk the finished job with you, touch up anything you point out, and clean up before we leave.
