Question 1

How much does interior painting cost in Houston?

Accepted Answer

Interior painting costs in Houston typically range from $2-$6 per square foot depending on surface condition, ceiling height, and paint quality. Average room costs: bedrooms $400-$900, living rooms $600-$1,500, whole house interiors $3,000-$8,000. Tell Projects provides detailed estimates including surface preparation (patching, sanding, priming), premium paint (2-3 coats), trim and door painting, furniture protection and moving, and thorough cleanup. We use quality paints like Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore for lasting results. Houston's humidity requires proper preparation and moisture-resistant paints for best durability.

Question 2

How long does exterior painting take in Houston?

Accepted Answer

Exterior painting in Houston typically takes 3-7 days for an average home depending on size, condition, and weather. The process includes power washing and surface prep (1-2 days), priming (1 day), and painting (2-3 coats, 2-3 days). Tell Projects schedules work during Houston's drier months (October-April) when possible, avoiding extreme heat and humidity that affect paint curing. We monitor weather forecasts carefully, as sudden rain can delay exterior projects. Proper surface preparation and using quality exterior paints formulated for Houston's hot, humid climate ensures lasting results that resist fading, peeling, and mildew growth.

Question 3

What is the best paint for Houston's climate?

Accepted Answer

Houston's hot, humid climate requires specific paint formulations for best results. For interiors, use mildew-resistant paints in bathrooms and kitchens, low-VOC paints for better air quality, and moisture-resistant primers in high-humidity areas. For exteriors, choose 100% acrylic latex paints (better flexibility and breathability), mildew and algae-resistant formulas, UV-resistant colors (lighter colors last longer), and elastomeric coatings for masonry. Tell Projects recommends premium brands like Sherwin-Williams Duration (excellent mildew resistance), Benjamin Moore Aura (superior moisture resistance), and Behr Marquee (one-coat coverage). Proper surface preparation matters more than paint brand - we ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and properly primed before painting.

Question 4

Do you provide color consultation services?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Tell Projects includes complimentary color consultation with every painting project in Houston. Our experienced designers help you select colors considering room size and natural light, existing furniture and decor, architectural style, your personal preferences, and color psychology (how colors affect mood). We provide physical paint samples to test in your space, as colors look different in various lighting conditions. We also coordinate interior and exterior colors for cohesive curb appeal, recommend accent walls and color schemes, and suggest finish types (flat, eggshell, satin, semi-gloss, gloss) for each surface. Our goal is ensuring you love your paint colors for years to come.
