At Nomad Painting, we treat every project like it’s our own house. We don’t do shortcuts. We don’t do "good enough." We bring craftsmanship, care, and clarity to every job — whether it’s a single wall or your full exterior.

General Questions About Our Services

How much does house painting cost in Dallas?

It really depends on your home — the size, condition, materials, and even where you're located. Painting a classic brick home in Colleyville isn’t the same as repainting modern siding in Lakewood. That’s why we come out, take a good look, and give you a full, detailed quote with no surprises. No guesswork, no fluff.

Do you offer a warranty?

Yes, and we stand by it. Every project comes with a two-year warranty on labor and materials. If something goes wrong with the paint, we’ll come back and make it right. Simple as that.

Are you licensed and insured?

Absolutely. We’re fully fully insured and carry liability and workers comp insurance. You’re covered, always.

How does interior painting with Nomad Painting work?

It starts with a visit. Your project manager will go room by room, talk vision, check walls, and explain exactly how we work. You get a clear quote and timeline, plus our advice on finishes and care. We’ll also show you how we protect your space before a single drop of paint goes on the walls.

Can you help me pick paint colors?

Of course. We offer basic color guidance during your estimate. If you want something more in-depth, we can recommend a pro color consultant we trust.

How is the job confirmed and scheduled?

Once you’re ready, we lock in the timeline, review the scope, and send over a simple agreement. No fine print, no gotchas.

What prep work do you do before interior painting?

We cover floors and furniture, patch and sand, clean glossy areas, and prime where needed. No shortcuts. We treat your home with the care we’d want on our own.

Will my home be a mess during painting?

Not on our watch. We tidy up every day. Tools, drop cloths, gear — all cleaned and stored away before we leave. And once the job is done, we leave the place spotless.

How do I know when the job is finished?

We walk through everything with you. If you see anything that needs a touch-up, we fix it. We don’t wrap until you’re 100% happy.

How long does interior painting take?

Interior painting typically takes 1-7 days depending on:

  • Room count and size
  • Scope of prep work needed
  • Type of paint and finishes
  • Weather conditions (for drying time)
What brands of paint do you use?

Only the good stuff: Sherwin-Williams, Benjamin Moore, PPG. Tried, tested, and trusted.

Cabinet Painting

What’s the process for cabinet painting?

We treat cabinets like furniture. Here’s how we do it:

  • Confirm details and cover everything nearby
  • Take off doors, drawers, hardware (labeled for perfect reassembly)
  • Clean and sand all surfaces
  • Fill dents and seams for a smooth finish
Do you prime first?

Always. We prime, sand, check again, and seal everything up. That’s how we get that flawless look.

What paint do you use for cabinets?

We use cabinet-grade enamel Benjamin Moore Scuff X. It goes on smooth, dries tough, and resists stains, scratches, and humidity. Two coats, with sanding in between.

What happens when it’s done?

We reassemble, clean up, and walk through the finished kitchen or bathroom with you. You’ll love how it looks.

Can you paint cabinets without removing them?

Yes. We can paint them in place with the same care.

Will painted cabinets last?

Yes. Done right, they hold up beautifully for years. We use products made specifically for high-traffic areas like kitchens.

Wallpaper Installation

How do you handle wallpaper projects?

Wallpaper is all about precision. Here’s our process:

  • Confirm wallpaper type and layout with you
  • Prep the walls: clean, smooth, primed
  • Protect nearby areas
  • Cut panels precisely and align the pattern
  • Apply adhesive cleanly and evenly
  • Install panels with no bubbles
  • Trim edges for a sharp, seamless look
What happens after install?

We clean everything, remove residue, and walk through the space with you to make sure you’re thrilled with the result.

Exterior Painting

What’s the exterior painting process like?

Exterior work is all about protection and prep. Here’s how we do it:

  • Confirm scope and schedule with you
  • Move outdoor items and trim landscaping if needed
  • Power wash to remove dust, dirt, mildew, and loose paint
  • Mask windows, fixtures, and surfaces
  • Scrape and prime bare spots
  • Seal joints and cracks

Then:

  • Apply two coats of high-quality paint to siding
  • Paint trim with sharp lines
  • Paint garage doors for smooth function
  • Clean and seal decks or fences if part of the project
What happens when it’s done?

We reinstall fixtures, clean up every inch, leave you labeled touch-up paint, and walk the property with you to make sure everything is perfect.

When is the best time to paint outside in Dallas?

March through November is ideal. We keep a close eye on the weather to make sure your job stays on schedule and high quality.

How long will the paint last?

With our prep and materials, you can expect 7 to 10 years of solid protection — even in Texas heat.

Can you paint in Dallas winter?

Yes! Interior painting is perfect year-round. For exterior projects, we work November through February on mild days (50°F+). We monitor weather closely and adjust schedules to ensure proper curing.

Do you offer emergency painting services?

For water damage, storm damage, or urgent touch-ups before events, we prioritize emergency calls. Contact us directly for same-week service when possible.

Do you use low-VOC paints in Dallas homes?

Yes, we prioritize health-conscious options. All our interior paints are low or zero-VOC. We use Benjamin Moore Scuff X, Sherwin-Williams Cashmere, and other premium low-emission products - especially important in tight Texas homes.
