Thanks for stopping by!]]>Thu, 12 Mar 2026 20:18:50 GMThttps://eastdallaspainting.com/paint-blog/hi-there-im-mike-black-owner-of-east-dallas-painting-thanks-for-stopping-byAbout Me.  I grew up in Dallas and have spent most of my life here. I’m proud of our city and honored to help beautify it—one home and business at a time. Raised in a military family, I value professionalism, respect, and accountability. You can expect a firm handshake, direct eye contact, and a thoughtful discussion about your project.
I was a four-year starting scholarship athlete at a DFW university, where I developed a strong foundation in discipline, structure, and hard work. These values guide how I approach business and customer relationships today.

O-Line. The Big Ugly's
Current Paint Life. Running East Dallas Painting has been an incredible journey in perfecting the craft of painting. Over the years, we’ve tackled nearly every surface and scenario. Mastering the nuances of brands, products, sheens, and color applications takes years of hands-on experience—there are no shortcuts.
Proper prep is the foundation of a long-lasting finish. The tools, techniques, and equipment for common repairs—like wood rot, sheetrock repair, and texture matching—take years of expertise.

Early Paint Life.  My passion for painting began in Pensacola, Florida, where I owned a sign and graphics business. Creating custom signs and large-scale murals gave me a deep, lasting appreciation for the graphics and painting craft.
​When the Great Recession struck, I returned to Dallas for a stable business climate and founded East Dallas Painting to focus on what I love most - painting.

Play Hard, but Work Harder!
Early Career.  The first 20 years of my career were in sales and technology, selling computers, software, and managing product verticals for auction platforms. While I enjoyed the fast pace of tech sales, I came to value the simplicity of the painting business. 
​It’s tangible, straightforward, and rooted in craftsmanship - qualities increasingly rare in today’s tech-driven world.
