Exterior Painting in Katy, Texas

Exterior Painting Built for Katy Homes

Katy is one of the largest residential markets in the Houston metro, and the housing stock here has a few defining characteristics: Hardie siding is everywhere, Cinco Ranch alone is the size of a small city, and most exteriors have lived through both Hurricane Harvey and the 2021 winter storm. The Proud Paintbrush services every Katy ZIP from 77450 through 77493, and we are familiar with what each subdivision needs before we ever pull up to the curb.

Most Katy exteriors we look at fall into one of two buckets — Hardie-and-brick two-stories built between 2003 and 2015 in Cinco Ranch and Falcon Point, or newer 2018-plus elevations in Cross Creek Ranch and Cane Island that have not had a first repaint yet but already show fade on south-facing walls. Each one needs a different conversation, and we will have it before any paint touches the house.

What Makes Painting in Katy Different

Katy sits west of Houston and catches the full afternoon sun, which means south- and west-facing elevations bleach faster here than in most surrounding cities. Combined with the Gulf humidity that pushes mildew into shaded brick and trim, the typical Katy exterior coating cycle runs seven to ten years on Hardie and five to eight on stucco. Hardie siding also requires a specific prep approach — the factory primer fails over time, especially at field cuts and around fasteners, and skipping spot-priming during a repaint is the number-one reason coatings fail early in Cinco Ranch. We hand-inspect every elevation, spot-prime where the factory coating has failed, and apply a 100 percent acrylic exterior rated for Gulf Coast weather.

Katy Home Styles and HOA Realities

Cinco Ranch enforces one of the more involved HOA approval processes in the Houston metro, and Falcon Point, Firethorne, and Cross Creek Ranch each have their own boards with their own palettes. Most Katy elevations combine brick on the lower portion with Hardie siding above, and a smaller share of homes — particularly in Cane Island — are full stucco. We carry sample colors and have submitted to most of the major Katy HOAs, so we can walk you through the approval steps without slowing the project down.
