Interior Painting in Argyle, TX

Interior painting for Argyle homes

More than a third of Argyle homes were built in 2010 or later, by Census estimates.

Argyle homes are big, so in open living areas where one wall color stops and the next begins is a real decision, and we set those break points with you before work starts.

But Argyle is not only new houses. About 20 percent of its housing comes from the 1980s, and roughly one in seven homes predates 1980. With about 92 percent of homes owner-occupied, interior painting here falls into two groups: new owners making a fresh house their own, and long-time owners refreshing an established one.

New construction in Argyle

Making builder walls yours

New homes are commonly finished with a single neutral wall color and flat paint. It looks clean on day one but scuffs easily, especially in hallways, kitchens and kids' rooms. Repainting lets you pick colors for each room and step up to a more washable finish where the house gets the most wear.

Timing around closing

The simplest time to paint is after closing and before the moving truck arrives. Rooms are empty, floors are easy to protect and we can move through the house quickly. Share your dates and we build a room order that finishes the rooms you need first.

First-year settling

New homes settle as framing dries and the ground adjusts. Hairline cracks at drywall seams, corners and above doors are normal in the first year or two. If they have appeared, we repair them before painting; if your home is brand new, you may prefer to wait until after the first round of settling to repaint.

Established Argyle homes

Homes from the 1980s and 1990s have usually been painted more than once. Before new color, we fill old anchor holes and dents, sand rough patches, scrape and recaulk trim where it has pulled away from the wall, and prime areas that need it. Going from a darker color to a lighter one, or covering glossy older paint, may need a bonding or tinted primer and an extra coat. All of this is spelled out in the estimate, room by room, so you can see where the time goes and decide whether to tackle the whole house or start with the rooms you use most.

Trim and doors in an older home often carry many layers of paint and some sags or drips from past work. Those get sanded smooth so the final coat lies flat. If a ceiling still has popcorn texture, see popcorn ceiling removal in Argyle for how that is handled.

Choosing colors and finishes

Living areas and hallways: an eggshell or satin finish that can be wiped down
Bedrooms: a softer matte or eggshell
Kitchens and bathrooms: a moisture-resistant finish
Trim and doors: semi-gloss or a hard enamel
Ceilings: a flat ceiling paint to hide minor flaws

We write each room's color and sheen into the estimate. If you are deciding between shades, sample patches on two or three walls show how each looks in your light during the day and in the evening.

Protecting your home

Floors are covered, room contents are moved to the center and covered, or into another room, as agreed. Outlet and switch covers come off. Fragile items and valuables should be put away before we start. We go room by room and clean up at the end of every day.

Common questions

We are building in Argyle. When should interior painting happen?

If you want colors beyond what the builder offers, the window between closing and move-in is the easiest time. Empty rooms paint faster and nothing needs to be moved or covered.

Our Argyle home is from the 1980s. What does a repaint involve?

Usually more prep than a new home: patching old anchors and dings, recaulking trim, and sometimes priming over darker or glossier coats. The walkthrough tells us how much.

Can you match the colors from our last house?

Yes. If you have the paint names or a chip, we can use them. If not, a sample patch on the wall lets you compare before committing.
