We hear these at Georgetown estimates every week. Each one has a fix, and it starts with prep. sunny ### Faded, Chalky West Walls Afternoon sun breaks down the paint until a powder rubs off on your hand. layers ### Peeling Fascia and Trim Paint lifting off roof edges and window trim, often after a repaint that skipped scraping and priming. home\_repair\_service ### Cracked Stucco Hairline cracks creeping across Hill Country stucco as the house settles. mail ### An HOA Letter A notice about faded paint, and no idea which colors your HOA will approve. Georgetown sits at the intersection of intense Texas sun, seasonal humidity, and the occasional hard freeze that catches homeowners off guard. This combination creates a uniquely demanding environment for exterior paint. West-facing walls bake under summer temperatures that regularly push past 100 degrees, spring rains promote mildew on shaded eaves and north-facing siding, and winter temperature swings crack stucco along the Hill Country’s caliche foundation. Our prep-first approach to exterior painting addresses every one of these challenges before a single topcoat goes on the house. ## How Georgetown’s Climate Breaks Down Exterior Paint Most paint failures trace directly back to skipped preparation and products that were not formulated for this level of UV exposure. When old paint chalks, any new coat bonds to that powdery residue instead of the actual substrate. Skipping scraping means fresh color peels off with the failed layer underneath. Split and cracked caulk is another major cause of failure. Water gets behind trim boards and physically pushes paint off from the inside. Our guide on why surface prep matters [/guide/why-surface-prep-matters/ →](/guide/why-surface-prep-matters/) explains how each prep step prevents a specific failure mode. Summer heat compounds the problem. Surfaces hit by direct afternoon sun can reach temperatures 40 degrees above the ambient air, which causes fresh paint to blister almost immediately. We schedule each side of the house during its shaded window, painting around the sun rather than fighting it. The full breakdown is in why exterior paint fails in Central Texas heat [/guide/why-exterior-paint-fails-texas-heat/ →](/guide/why-exterior-paint-fails-texas-heat/) . Neighborhoods like Teravista and Georgetown Village are now reaching the 15- to 20-year mark, which means original paint systems are showing their age on a large scale. | Problem | Root Cause | Our Solution | | --- | --- | --- | | Chalking and Fading | UV breaks down the paint binder | Pressure wash, then bonding primer | | Peeling Fascia | Water runoff and direct sun at roof edges | Scrape, sand, apply peel-stop primer | | Cracked Stucco | Expansive caliche soil shifts the foundation | Masonry primer plus elastomeric coating | | Mildew Growth | Shaded walls trap moisture under tree canopy | Wash with mildew cleaner, mix mildewcide into paint | | Efflorescence | Moisture migrating through masonry | Deep clean, address moisture source first | ## The Prep-First Process That Makes Paint Last Every exterior project follows a strict sequence before topcoats are applied. We pressure wash all surfaces to strip chalk, dirt, and mildew. Loose paint gets scraped to a sound edge, open gaps receive fresh elastomeric caulk, and every bare spot is primed with a bonding primer. On areas where old paint is weak but still partially adhering, a peel-bonding primer like Zinsser Peel Stop helps lock things down. Soft or rotten fascia boards are flagged and replaced before any paint goes on. Covering bad wood with fresh paint is a temporary fix that fails quickly, so we address these problems at the start. Topcoat selection depends on the substrate. On wood siding, fiber cement, and trim, we use premium 100% acrylic paints like Sherwin-Williams Duration, which goes on thick and stays flexible through Central Texas temperature swings. Stucco surfaces with hairline cracking often call for an elastomeric coating that bridges small fractures and keeps moisture out. Our elastomeric coating guide [/guide/elastomeric-coating-for-stucco/ →](/guide/elastomeric-coating-for-stucco/) explains when this upgrade is worth the additional cost. We paint wood siding, fiber cement, stucco, masonry trim, fascia, soffits, window frames, shutters, front doors, garage doors, and porch ceilings. On textured surfaces, the crew sprays paint on and immediately back-brushes or back-rolls it into the texture for a stronger bond. Every job includes color consultation, careful masking around limestone and brick accents, daily cleanup, and a written 3-year workmanship warranty [/guide/painting-warranty-what-it-covers/ →](/guide/painting-warranty-what-it-covers/) . ## Historic Homes and HARC Compliance in Old Town Georgetown’s Old Town district is governed by strict rules for exterior changes. The Historic and Architectural Review Commission requires a Certificate of Appropriateness for any exterior painting within the downtown overlay. Colors must be selected from an approved historical palette, and unauthorized painting can result in fines and forced repainting. Our color consultation for Old Town homeowners includes pulling historically accurate palette options, preparing sample patches for committee review, and scheduling all work only after approval is received. We handle the careful hand scraping that aging wood siding requires, avoiding high-pressure washing that can damage soft old-growth lumber. As an EPA Lead-Safe Certified Firm, we follow lead-safe work practices on any pre-1978 home where lead paint may be present. > Before selecting exterior colors, check whether your neighborhood requires HOA or HARC approval. Painting first and asking later can mean repainting entirely at your own expense. For homes in neighborhoods with HOA review boards, such as Sun City or Berry Creek, we also help pull approved color samples and prepare submissions for architectural review committees. ## When to Schedule Your Exterior Repaint Fall and spring provide the best conditions for exterior painting in Central Texas, with moderate temperatures and lower humidity that fall within paint manufacturer specifications. We paint through summer as well by starting early each morning and chasing the shade around the house as the day progresses. Signs your home is due for a repaint include chalky residue that rubs off on your hand, visible peeling or cracking on trim and fascia, caulk pulling away from joints, and faded color on south- and west-facing walls. Our guide to the signs your exterior needs repainting [/guide/signs-house-needs-exterior-painting/ →](/guide/signs-house-needs-exterior-painting/) walks through each warning sign. A full exterior repaint in the area typically ranges from $3,500 to $6,500, depending on home size, access requirements, substrate type, and the amount of prep involved. Every quote is fixed and in writing before work begins, backed by a 3-year workmanship warranty.

CCarlos R.Teravista Got Questions? ## Common Exterior Painting Built for Georgetown Weather Questions What prep do you do before exterior painting? add Every exterior gets pressure washing to remove chalk, dirt and mildew, scraping of loose paint to a sound edge, fresh caulk at open gaps and spot priming of bare or repaired areas. Only then do topcoats go on. How long does exterior paint last in Georgetown? add It depends on the surface and how much sun it gets. West and south walls fade first. Quality prep and a premium 100% acrylic paint add years. Stucco with elastomeric coating often lasts longer than painted wood trim. Can you paint stucco that has hairline cracks? add Yes. We repair larger cracks first, then apply an elastomeric coating that flexes to bridge hairline cracks. We check the wall for moisture issues before recommending it. Do you paint around limestone and brick? add Yes. We mask the stone carefully and cut in trim by hand where it meets limestone or brick. Most homeowners leave the stone natural and refresh the trim, fascia, soffits and siding around it. Can you help with HOA color approval? add Yes. Our color consultation includes approved palette pulls and sample patches for HOA or HARC submission. Many Georgetown neighborhoods require architectural review, and Limestone & Lacquer schedules painting only after your approval is granted. What is the best time of year to paint an exterior in Georgetown? add Fall and spring are ideal because temperatures and humidity sit inside paint label ranges. We paint in summer too by starting early and following the shade around the house. Do you paint James Hardie fiber cement siding? add Yes. Fiber cement takes 100% acrylic paint very well after a wash and fresh caulk at butt joints and trim. We follow the manufacturer's repaint guidance. Will my quote change once the job starts? add No. You get a fixed written quote. If you decide to add something like a fence or extra trim, we price it in writing before we do it. Do you offer a warranty on exterior painting? add Yes. Exterior work is covered by a 3-year workmanship warranty against application defects such as peeling or blistering. What does chalking mean on my siding? add Chalking is a powdery residue that comes off on your hand. It means UV has broken down the paint binder. Chalky walls need pressure washing and often a bonding primer before repainting, or new paint will not stick. ### Still have questions? Call the office or send a note.
