House Painting in Shady Shores, Texas

Painting lake homes in Shady Shores

Safe Choice Painting offers exterior painting, interior painting and popcorn ceiling removal for Shady Shores homes, from older lake houses on the north shore to newer homes in Cielo Ranch.

Cottages, acreage and new builds

Shady Shores began as a 1920s fishing camp, and some of the permanent homes that replaced the cabins in the 1930s still stand. Most houses are much newer: by Census estimates, nearly three in five were built in 2000 or later. That mix changes the prep. A 2000s home is more often a first repaint: chalky sunny walls, split caulk and faded trim. An older lake cottage more often needs hand scraping, bare wood spot primed and soft trim pointed out before painting.

Masonry rules and what gets painted

The town's zoning ordinance calls for at least 75 percent masonry on a home's exterior walls, with no single wall face under 50 percent, not counting windows and doors. On those homes the painted work is the trim, fascia, soffits, gables and siding accents between the brick or stone, and outbuildings, which the code asks to match the house in color. If you have a barn, shop or hangar, we paint those too.

HOAs in Shady Shores

Cielo Ranch has a property owners association registered with the state. The town says it does not enforce HOA restrictions and tells owners to check with their HOA first. We help with HOA color approvals by writing up the colors, products and areas to be painted.

Shoreline dew and mildew

Homes near the shoreline see heavy dew. Lake-facing and shaded walls are washed, treated for mildew and dried before primer. Our answer on why exterior paint peels covers the moisture side.
