Interior Painting in Lantana, TX

Interior painting for Lantana homes

Interior painting in Lantana, TX is usually a first or second full repaint. Nearly every house in Lantana was built in 2000 or later, by Census estimates. A home from the early 2000s has had two decades of daily life on its walls, and a home from the 2010s may still have the paint it was delivered with.

With about 94 percent of homes owner-occupied, most of our Lantana interior work is for families who have been in the house a while and are ready for it to look fresh again.

Signs your walls are due

• Scuffs and marks in hallways, stairways and around light switches that no longer wipe off
• Touch-ups that show as shiny or dull patches when light hits the wall
• Nail holes and anchors left from pictures, shelves and TV mounts
• Hairline cracks at drywall corners and above doors from settling
• Colors that were chosen by a builder or a previous owner and never quite suited you

Repainting a 2000s or 2010s home

Prep is still the main job

Even in a newer house, good results start with prep. We fill holes and dents, sand patches flush, tape and fill settling cracks, and spot-prime repairs so they do not flash through the new finish. Caulk lines where trim meets the wall are checked and redone where they have opened up.

Moving beyond flat paint

Original wall paint in many newer homes is a flat finish. It hides imperfections well but marks easily and does not stand up to scrubbing. For family rooms, hallways, kitchens and kids' rooms, an eggshell or satin finish wipes clean much more easily. Bedrooms and formal rooms can stay in a softer finish. We write each room's sheen into the estimate.

Trim and doors

Baseboards, door casings and interior doors take the most bumps. We sand, fill dents, recaulk and finish them in a durable enamel. If you want to change trim color, the estimate shows any extra coats.

Choosing new colors

After years in a home, you know how each room gets used and how light moves through it. A north-facing room may look gray in a color that glows in a south-facing one. We suggest brushing out sample patches on two or three walls and looking at them in the morning and evening before deciding. If you are keeping most rooms the same and changing a few, we note the existing colors where they are known so the rooms you are not repainting still match the new trim and ceilings.

Tall walls, stairways and open spaces

Some Lantana homes have two-story entries, open stairwells or tall family-room walls. Those need ladders and staging that sit safely and protect the floors and stairs. Where one color meets another in an open layout, we plan the break at a natural line, such as an inside corner or a change in ceiling height. Those areas are listed separately in the estimate so you can see what they involve.

Phasing the work

An interior repaint can be split into two visits: main living areas first, bedrooms and bathrooms later. We record colors, sheens and products used so the second phase matches. With four Denton ISD schools inside Lantana, bedroom work can also be timed for school hours if that suits your family.

Protecting your home

Floors are covered, room contents are moved to the center and covered, or into another room, as agreed. Switch plates and outlet covers come off. Fragile items and valuables should be put away first. We work room by room and clean up at the end of each day so you can use your home in the evening.
