EXTERIOR PAINTING
Exterior House Painting in San Antonio & Hill Country
Your home's exterior faces intense Texas sun, sudden temperature swings, and occasional severe weather. House of Hues delivers exterior paint jobs built to withstand our demanding climate while transforming your home's curb appeal.
Paints Built for Texas Weather
San Antonio summers are brutal on exterior paint. Temperatures regularly exceed 100°F, UV exposure is intense year-round, and humidity fluctuates dramatically. We use Sherwin Williams and Benjamin Moore exterior paints specifically formulated for harsh climates.
These premium paints feature UV-resistant pigments that hold their color, flexible binders that expand and contract with temperature changes without cracking, and superior mildew resistance for our humid conditions. The result? A paint job that looks great and lasts years longer than budget alternatives.

Our Exterior Painting Process
1. Inspection & Estimate: We thoroughly inspect your home's exterior, identify any repairs needed, and provide a detailed written estimate covering all work.
2. Surface Preparation: We power wash all surfaces to remove dirt, mildew, and chalking paint. We scrape loose paint, repair cracks and holes, replace rotted wood, and caulk all gaps.
3. Priming: Bare wood, repaired areas, and stains are primed with appropriate primers for maximum adhesion and stain blocking.
4. Painting: We apply two coats of premium exterior paint using a combination of brushing, rolling, and spraying as appropriate for each surface type.
5. Final Inspection: We walk through the completed project with you, address any touch-ups, and ensure your complete satisfaction.
Stucco Specialists
Stucco is the most common exterior finish in San Antonio, and it requires specialized knowledge to paint properly. We repair cracks and damage before painting, and use elastomeric coatings that bridge hairline cracks and provide excellent waterproofing. Our stucco paint jobs are built to last in our Texas climate.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to paint the exterior of a house in San Antonio?
Exterior painting costs depend on your home's size, height, condition, and material (stucco, brick, siding). Every home is unique, so we provide free detailed estimates for every project. Contact us to schedule your no-obligation consultation.
What is the best time of year to paint a house exterior in San Antonio?
The ideal painting weather is 50-85°F with low humidity. In San Antonio, that means spring (March-May) and fall (September-November) are prime painting seasons. We avoid painting in extreme summer heat or during rainy periods for optimal paint adhesion and curing.
How long does exterior paint last in Texas?
With quality paint and proper application, exterior paint in Texas should last 7-10 years. Budget paints may only last 3-5 years due to our intense UV exposure and temperature swings. We use premium paints specifically formulated for harsh climates.
Do you paint stucco homes?
Yes, we specialize in stucco painting and repair, which is common throughout San Antonio. We use elastomeric coatings that flex with temperature changes and provide excellent waterproofing for stucco surfaces.
How do you prepare the exterior for painting?
Proper prep is crucial for exterior durability. We power wash to remove dirt and mildew, scrape loose paint, repair cracks and damage, caulk gaps around windows and doors, prime bare spots, and mask all areas not being painted.
