Francisco Painting Enamel work is slow work
Trim and doors are painted in enamel, which shows every rushed brushstroke. The job is caulking gaps, filling nail holes, sanding between coats, and laying the final coat smooth. It's the slowest part of any repaint and the part that most separates a careful painter from a fast one.
From stained wood to painted white
Converting 1990s-era stained oak trim to a painted finish is one of the most common requests in Plano and Carrollton homes. It takes the right prep — cleaning, sanding, a bonding primer — or the paint peels off the old finish. Done right, it modernizes a whole house.
Front doors
A front door repaint is a half-day job that changes the whole face of the house. Sand, prime as needed, two coats of exterior enamel in whatever color the house deserves.
The sanding-between-coats difference
Enamel telegraphs everything under it. The trim jobs that feel like glass got a light scuff-sand between coats — knocking down dust nibs and brush marks so the final coat levels out clean. It adds time and it's the step that gets cut when a crew is racing the clock. We don't cut it, and you can feel the difference with your eyes closed.
Hardware off, not taped over
Hinges, strikes, knobs, and latches come off before a door gets painted — paint bridging onto hardware is the tell of a rushed job, and painted-shut hinges squeak forever. Doors get painted with the hardware in a labeled bag and go back together working exactly like they did, just better looking.
Questions Worth Asking Any Painter
Whoever you hire — us or anyone — ask these before you sign: Is the estimate written, and what makes it change? Who is actually on the job, the person quoting or a rotating crew? What prep is included, specifically — filling, sanding, priming, caulking — and what happens if you find damage under the old paint? Which paint line and sheen, named in writing? And when is the final walkthrough, and is touch-up from it included? A good painter answers all five without flinching. Those answers are in every estimate we write, because the fastest way to stand out in this trade is simply to say what you'll do and then do it.
How Estimates and Scheduling Work
Every job starts with a look at the real surfaces — in person, or from photos you text to (214) 537-6962. You get a written number that holds unless the scope changes, a start date we treat as a promise, and a schedule that says which rooms or walls happen on which days. We confirm colors and sheens in writing before the first can is opened, protect everything that isn't being painted, and walk the finished work with you under good light before we call it done. If anything needs a touch-up at that walkthrough, it happens then — not after three phone calls.
