Painting an Arlington
Heights Home
Arlington Heights is one of Fort Worth's oldest west-side neighborhoods, and it has the history to match. The land was the actual Camp Bowie, the World War I training grounds off the brick-paved boulevard that still carries the name, and in the 1920s and '30s it filled in with the homes you see today, just west of the Cultural District and minutes from downtown. It is a walkable, tree-lined neighborhood, and it is close to home for us, not a drive across the metro.
The houses are the draw. Craftsman bungalows, Tudor cottages, Prairie and English-cottage styles, many from the 1920s and '40s, with the built-ins, decorative fireplaces, original hardwoods, and detailed trim that make a character home worth owning. These are not builder-grade houses, and they are not painted like them. Each one has its own materials and its own quirks, and the work is matching what the home is and what it needs.
Here is the thing about painting a home like this: a lot of the original character has already been painted over. The wood, the brackets, the stone, the trim that give a Craftsman or a Tudor its identity have been buried under coats over the years, and a careful painter's first job is to respect what is left and, where it makes sense, bring it back rather than add another layer that hides it. We will give you an honest opinion on what to keep natural, what to paint, and how to choose a color that suits the home's era instead of fighting it.
The rest is the care these homes require. Nearly all of them predate 1978, so we treat them as lead-safe from the start, containing and cleaning up properly inside and out. Inside there is usually plaster rather than drywall and original millwork worth protecting; outside there is old wood siding, brick, stone, and on the Tudors some stucco. We handle the whole home, and we do it as a Fort Worth crew that knows this part of town.
What We Paint in
Arlington Heights
From a 1920s bungalow to a brick Tudor, we handle the whole home. Here is what that covers.
Interior painting
Walls, trim, and ceilings, with the plaster repair and patient millwork these older homes call for. We work low-odor and clean, protect the original built-ins and trim, and help with color that suits a character home rather than washing it out.
Exterior painting
The full exterior, prepped for Texas sun on older wood siding, brick, and the detailed Craftsman and Tudor trim. We hand-scrape and repair before we paint, respect or restore the period detail rather than burying it, and work lead-safe on these pre-1978 homes.
Brick, stone, and stucco
The masonry these homes wear. Breathable finishes or limewash on brick, careful work around original stone, and crack repair and texture matching on the stucco some of the Tudors carry, using materials that suit older masonry instead of sealing it.
Cabinets and built-ins
Kitchen cabinets and the original built-ins these homes are full of, refinished and sprayed to a smooth, durable finish. Updating a 1920s kitchen with refinished cabinetry is the fastest way to bring it current without losing the home's character.

How We Work
Whether it is one room or a whole-home refresh, we keep the job organized, clean, and easy to live around from the first walkthrough to the last.
Walkthrough and color
We walk the home with you, look at the materials and condition, and help with color that fits the home's era. On a character home, that includes an honest talk about what to keep natural and what to paint. You get a clear written estimate with no guesswork.
Prep and protect
Prep is where the finish is won, and on these homes it is also where the care shows. We repair plaster, hand-scrape old wood, seal and prime what needs it, follow lead-safe practices, and cover floors, built-ins, and landscaping before any paint goes on.
Paint with one crew
The same crew runs your job start to finish, low-odor inside and careful outside, so the home stays livable while we work. We keep the site clean and clean up at the end of every day.
Final walkthrough
We walk it with you at the end, touch up anything that needs it, and do not call it done until you are happy with how it looks up close.
We Know Arlington
Heights
We are a Fort Worth company, based off Cordova Avenue, and Arlington Heights and the west side are right here, not a drive from somewhere else.

You get careful work, clean job sites, color expertise, and an honest read on what your home needs, including when the right move is to restore the wood instead of painting over it. We keep the same crew on your job from the first walkthrough to the last, and we are easy to reach the whole way through.

Painting Questions
What kinds of painting do you do for Arlington Heights homes?
Interior and exterior painting, brick and limewash, stone and stucco work, cabinet and built-in refinishing, wood, and plaster and drywall repair - across the Craftsman bungalows, Tudors, and period homes here. We treat the whole home as one finished look and match the work to what each house is built from.
Do you paint historic Craftsman and Tudor homes and respect the character?
Yes, and that is the heart of the work here. The wood, brackets, stone, and trim are what make these homes what they are, and a lot of it has already been painted over the years. We respect what is left and, where it makes sense, restore it rather than adding another layer that hides it, and we help you choose colors that suit the home's era.
Do you handle lead paint on these older homes?
Yes. Nearly every home in Arlington Heights predates 1978, and the 1920s-to-1940s houses especially are very likely to have lead paint. We follow lead-safe practices - contained prep and careful cleanup - inside and out, and we will talk it through during the walkthrough on an older home.
Can you paint a historic home's plaster walls and original trim?
Yes. These homes usually have plaster rather than drywall, which we repair and skim properly, and original millwork and built-ins that deserve patient, careful work rather than a fast roll. We protect the detail that gives the home its character.
Can you update a 1920s kitchen or refinish the cabinets?
Yes. We refinish original built-ins and kitchen cabinets and spray them to a smooth, durable finish, with a color chosen to suit the home rather than forcing a stark modern look on it. It is the fastest way to bring an older kitchen current without losing what makes it special.
Are you local to Arlington Heights?
Yes. We are a Fort Worth company based off Cordova Avenue, so Arlington Heights and the west side are right here for us, not a drive across the metro. We know these neighborhoods and the homes in them firsthand.
Are you licensed and insured, and do you serve all of Arlington Heights?
We are fully insured. Texas does not license residential painters, so any painter claiming to be state-licensed is stretching it - what matters is insurance and careful work. We cover all of Arlington Heights, including the Hillcrest addition and the streets off Camp Bowie, plus Crestline, Monticello, Mistletoe Heights, and the rest of Fort Worth.
