Painting homes in Lake Dallas

Safe Choice Painting handles interior painting, exterior painting and popcorn ceiling removal for Lake Dallas homeowners, on streets that range from 1970s ranch houses to homes built in the 2000s.

Brick walls, painted gables

Lake Dallas zoning has long asked for brick or other masonry on at least 80 percent of a house's walls, not counting windows, doors, gables and second stories. That is why so many homes here are brick on the ground floor with painted siding on the gables, dormers and upper floors. Those painted parts, plus the fascia, soffits and window trim, are what usually needs work, and a brick house can often be repainted as a trim-and-gables job. Some newer homes in Craftsman or Texas Prairie styles used fiber cement plank siding under a city exemption; our Hardie board painting page covers how that siding is painted.

One street, three decades of paint

Census estimates put about two in five Lake Dallas homes in the 1980s and 1990s, which means many are on their second or third repaint, with old caulk, layered paint and textured ceilings to deal with before new color goes on. Inside, those years often mean knockdown or popcorn ceilings; we assess the ceiling first, and our textured ceiling removal page explains what follows.

Lake air and west sun

Willow Grove Park sits right on Lewisville Lake, and homes near the shore see more morning dew and damp. Shaded and lake-facing walls get a mildew wash and full drying time before primer. The west walls have the opposite problem: NOAA's normals put Denton County's average July high near 96 degrees, so paint on sunny sides chalks and fades first.
