Richardson's established streets come with mature trees, and mature trees change an exterior paint job. Heavy canopy means shaded elevations that stay damp and grow mildew, branches resting against fascia, and a lot more organic debris on horizontal surfaces than a newer neighborhood ever deals with. Painting a Richardson exterior well starts with recognising that.
On a heavily shaded north elevation, the enemy is not UV — it is moisture and mildew. Painting over mildew just feeds it through the new coating within a season. Those surfaces need to be cleaned and treated, not just pressure-rinsed, before anything goes on.
Meanwhile the elevations that do get sun in a Richardson yard often get it in harsh, filtered bursts through the canopy, which weathers unevenly. So we frequently find one wall of a Richardson home in noticeably worse shape than the rest — and we quote what we actually find rather than averaging it.
What is actually included when you hire us — no vague scopes.
Shaded elevations under mature trees get cleaned and treated properly. Painting over mildew is why it comes back through the new coat.
On Richardson brick homes the trim carries the whole look. Crisp lines where paint meets masonry is what makes the house read as maintained.
Established beds and specimen plantings close to the house get covered and worked around carefully, not trampled.
Branches on fascia and constant damp cause soft wood. We find it during the walkthrough and quote it as a line item.
Exterior repaints in Richardson typically run $1,500 to $2,500 for smaller homes and $2,500 to $8,000+ for larger ones. Trim-only exteriors on brick homes are often $1,200 to $2,500. Heavy mildew remediation or wood repair is quoted separately and shown clearly.

Yes — established Richardson homes are a specialty. On most brick homes the work is fascia, soffits, trim, garage door, and shutters, and it is what keeps the whole house looking cared for.
Painting alone will not. Mildew has to be cleaned and treated first or it grows straight back through the new coating. We treat it, then prime and paint with a product suited to a damp, shaded elevation.
We work around mature landscaping carefully and cover what needs covering. If branches are resting on fascia or roofline we will point it out — that contact causes wood damage and is worth trimming before we paint.
We cover 75080, 75081, and 75082 — from Canyon Creek and Prairie Creek to Richardson Heights and the Telecom Corridor.
