What We Paint on a Highland Park Exterior

These homes mix brick, stone, stucco, and a lot of wood, and each material takes a different coating and a different hand. Here is what we handle.

Painted brick and masonry

Painted brick is part of the Highland Park look. We can take a dated orange or brown brick to a soft white or warm neutral, repaint a façade that was painted years ago, or use a breathable mineral coating or limewash so the brick still releases moisture instead of being sealed under a film. We coordinate the color with your stone.

Stucco and half-timber

The Tudors here pair stucco panels with timber, and the Mediterranean homes are stucco through and through. We patch hairline and larger cracks, recoat the stucco with a breathable, flexible finish, and keep the timber crisp against it so the contrast that makes a Tudor stays sharp.

Wood trim, fascia, eaves, and windows

This is where these homes need the most attention. Wide trim, fascia, soffits, and the old divided-lite windows are where paint fails and rot starts. We prep them carefully, work clean around the leaded glass, and repaint so the wood is protected, not just covered.

Doors, shutters, iron, and dormers

The front door, the shutters, the ornamental iron, the dormers and gables - the details that finish a Tudor or Georgian face. We refinish them so the entry and the rooflines read sharp against the body of the house.

Painting a Historic Highland Park Exterior

Highland Park's homes are mostly brick, stone, and stucco from the 1910s through the 40s - Tudors with half-timber and stone, brick Georgians, stucco Mediterraneans. Painting one is a custom job, not a one-size-fits-all spray. The age of the house, the mix of materials, and which side faces the sun all change the plan.

Painted brick is part of the look. We can take a dated orange or brown brick to a soft white or warm neutral, repaint a façade that was painted years ago, or use a breathable mineral coating or limewash so the brick can still release moisture instead of sitting under a sealed film. Either way we coordinate the color with your stone and trim so the house reads as one piece.

On these homes, the wood is what actually drives the timing. The trim, fascia, eaves, and old divided-lite windows are where paint fails and where rot starts, often where squirrels and weather have worked in under the eaves. We repair or replace the damaged wood, add flashing where critters get in, work carefully around the leaded glass, and on a home built before 1978 we keep the scraping and sanding contained.

Highland Park runs traditional on color - soft whites and warm neutrals, cream and taupe stucco, the occasional soft blue or sage on a Tudor, with darker trim or a dark door for contrast. We test it on the actual wall, against your brick and stone, before the whole house is committed.

How We Paint an Exterior

On an older home, the finish is only as good as the prep and the repair underneath. Here is the order we work in.

We walk it and wash it

We look at every elevation, flag the wood and stucco that needs work, and pressure wash off the mildew and chalk so paint goes onto a clean surface. We also time the job around the heat and the humidity for better adhesion.

We repair and prep

We replace rotted trim and fascia, swap damaged wood for Hardie board where it makes sense, add flashing under the eaves where critters get in, patch stucco cracks, and keep scraping and sanding contained on older paint. Then we caulk and seal.

We prime

We prime bare wood and patched stucco, and use a breathable primer on masonry, matching the primer to each surface. Priming is what makes the finish coat bond and last.

We paint and walk

We put down full, even coats with the right coating for each surface, watch the weather as we go, and walk the whole exterior with you at the end before we pull off the property.

We Know Highland Park Homes

We paint exteriors across Highland Park - the brick and stucco homes along Beverly Drive, Drexel Drive, and Miramar Avenue, the streets off Armstrong Parkway and Preston Road, and the houses near Highland Park Village. Pre-war Tudors, Georgians, and Mediterranean homes, plus newer builds in the same traditional styles.

We are a Fort Worth-based painting company, and we bring the same craftsmanship east to the Park Cities. Older masonry and humid weather call for a plan matched to the house, not a template, so we read each home's age, surface, and exposure, keep one crew on the job, and leave the property the way we found it.

Highland Park and the Park Cities

We paint exteriors throughout Highland Park and the surrounding Park Cities and Dallas neighborhoods, and back across the metroplex from our Fort Worth home base.

The Park Cities and nearby

Exterior Painting Questions

Do you paint brick, and repaint brick that has already been painted?

Yes to both. We can take a dated orange or brown brick to a soft white or warm neutral, repaint a façade that was painted years ago, or use a breathable mineral coating or limewash so the brick still breathes. We will tell you honestly which finish suits your home and coordinate the color with your stone.

Can you repaint stucco and Tudor exteriors, including cracks?

Yes. We patch hairline and larger stucco cracks, recoat with a breathable, flexible finish, and handle the half-timber, stucco, and brick mix on a Tudor so the whole house reads together. We keep the timber crisp against the stucco so the contrast stays sharp.

How do you handle the older wood trim and windows?

The wood is the part of these homes that needs the most attention. We prep the trim, fascia, soffits, and old divided-lite windows carefully, work clean around the leaded glass, prime the bare wood, and repaint so it is protected, not just covered.

Do you repair rotted or damaged exterior wood before painting?

Yes, and on older homes we usually find some. We replace rotted trim and fascia, swap damaged wood for Hardie board where it makes sense, and add flashing under the eaves where squirrels and weather have gotten in. Painting over bad wood only hides the problem, so we fix it first.

What about old paint on a home built before 1978?

Older exterior paint needs contained, careful scraping and sanding rather than a fast blast. We keep the dust contained, protect the home and the grounds, and prep in a way that respects the age of the house. We are glad to walk through how we handle it on your specific home.

How often does a Highland Park home need exterior painting?

The wood usually drives the timing. The sun-facing elevations fade first, and the shaded sides under mature trees hold moisture and mildew. Most homes need attention somewhere in the seven-to-twelve-year range depending on exposure and material, and we will assess yours and tell you what actually needs doing.

What exterior colors are homeowners choosing now?

Highland Park runs traditional — soft whites and warm neutrals, cream and taupe stucco, the occasional soft blue or sage on a Tudor, with darker trim or a dark door for contrast. We test the color on the actual wall, next to your brick and stone, before committing the whole house.

Which areas do you serve around Highland Park?

Highland Park and the surrounding Park Cities — University Park and Preston Hollow — plus the rest of Dallas and back across to Fort Worth and DFW. If you are nearby and do not see your area, just ask.
