What We Paint Inside a Highland Park Home

An older Highland Park home has more going on inside than four walls and a ceiling. There is plaster, there is fine wood, and there is a lot of it. Here is what we handle.

Walls and plaster

Many of these homes have plaster, not drywall, and plaster takes a different hand. We repair cracks, skim where it is needed, and prime with the right product so a wall that has been here for decades takes the finish evenly and holds it.

Trim, crown, and millwork

Wide baseboards, deep crown, cased openings, and window casings, often more detailed than anything in a new build. We hand-brush the millwork to a clean, smooth finish and cut tight lines where the wood meets the wall.

Paneling, libraries, and built-ins

Paneled studies, library shelving, and built-ins are part of what makes these homes. We paint them out for a lighter, current look, or refresh stained wood you want to keep, and we will tell you honestly which way a room wants to go.

Ceilings and two-story foyers

Plaster ceilings, high ceilings, and the two-story entries and stairwells these homes carry. We bring them clean and even, with the right scaffolding for the height, so the work up top matches the work at eye level.

Painting an Older Highland Park Interior

Highland Park homes have good bones - plaster walls and ceilings, fine millwork, leaded glass, masonry fireplaces, a lot of it built in the 1920s and 30s. Painting one is not the same as rolling a new build. The surfaces are older, the details matter, and the goal is to bring the home current without erasing what makes it a Highland Park home.

The work usually starts with the walls themselves. Many of these homes have plaster instead of drywall, and layered wallpaper from past decades. We repair plaster cracks, skim where it is needed, strip the old wallpaper and prep the wall underneath, and prime with the right product, because old plaster and old paint do not take a finish the way new drywall does. On a home built before 1978, that prep stays contained and careful.

These homes also carry a lot of wood - wide trim, crown, paneled studies, and built-in libraries. Some of it is worth painting out for a lighter, current look, and some stained wood is worth keeping and refreshing. We give you our honest read on which is which instead of painting everything by default.

On color, the direction here is warm and classic. Creamy and warm whites on the walls and trim, soft neutrals through the main rooms, built-ins in a muted blue or green, and a study or library that goes deliberately dark and clubby. We test it on your actual walls first, in your light, before the whole house is committed.

How We Work Inside Your Home

An older home, lived in, with a designer involved, needs a plan and a careful hand. Here is how we run it.

Color and designer

We help with color and sheen or work straight from your designer's selections, then sample on your actual walls, because the light in an older home with leaded glass reads a color differently than a chart does.

Protect the home

We cover floors and furniture and mask and protect the leaded glass, hardware, and original details before a brush comes out. In a finished, lived-in home, protection is half the job.

Careful prep

We repair and skim plaster, strip old wallpaper and prep the wall underneath, and keep sanding contained and careful on older paint. Then we prime with the right primer for the surface, because old plaster and old paint do not take a finish like fresh drywall.

Paint and walk

We hand-brush the millwork, roll clean and even walls, and keep the same crew on your home start to finish. At the end we walk it with you, room by room, and touch up anything you point out.

We Know Highland Park Homes

We paint interiors across Highland Park - the homes along Beverly Drive and the French streets, the streets off Armstrong Parkway and Preston Road, and the houses near Highland Park Village and the Dallas Country Club. 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. These homes are held to a high bar and they have history worth protecting, so we coordinate your designer and your schedule, keep one crew on the job, and treat the house and everything in it with care.

Interior Painting Questions

Do you paint plaster walls, not just drywall?

Yes, and a lot of Highland Park homes have plaster. Plaster takes different prep than drywall - we repair cracks, skim where it is needed, and prime with the right product so the wall takes the finish evenly. Painting plaster well is mostly about the prep underneath.

Can you remove old wallpaper and repaint?

Yes. Older homes here often have layered wallpaper from past decades. We strip it, repair and prep the wall underneath, and prime before any color goes on, so the new finish is smooth and even instead of telegraphing old seams.

Should I paint my stained millwork or paneling, or keep it?

It depends on the room and the wood. Painting out dark paneling or trim can lighten and modernize a room, while some stained wood is worth keeping and refreshing. We give you our honest read instead of painting everything by default, because in a home like this the woodwork is part of the character.

How do you protect leaded glass, original details, and floors?

We cover floors and furniture, mask the leaded glass and hardware, and cut clean lines by hand around the original details. The point of careful prep in an older home is to protect what is already there as much as to put down fresh paint.

What about old paint in a home built before 1978?

Older paint needs contained, careful prep rather than a fast scrape. We keep dust contained, protect the home, and prep in a way that respects the age of the house. We are happy to talk through how we handle it on your specific home.

What interior colors are homeowners choosing now?

Warm and classic. Creamy and warm whites on walls and trim, soft neutrals through the main rooms, built-ins in a muted blue or green, and a study or library taken deliberately dark and clubby. We test any color on your actual walls first, because an older home's light changes how a color reads.

Can you handle two-story foyers, grand staircases, and high ceilings?

Yes. We bring the right scaffolding for tall entries, open stairwells, and high plaster ceilings, and we keep clean cut lines all the way up. The height on these homes is normal for the work and we are set up for it.

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.
