Your Local, Trusted, Professional Painters in Richardson
East Dallas Painting: Bringing premium craftsmanship to the homes of Richardson since 2014.
Proudly Serving the Richardson Community
We grew up in Richardson and my family still lives here so we have a special place in our hearts for the people, homes, and businesses that make this city great.
There’s probably not an inch of Richardson we haven’t spent time in and we’ve probably painted your house or one of your neighbors over the years.
Richardson is a special place – with roughly 120,000 people, it’s big enough to offer a lot but small enough to know each other. From taking in a show at the Eisemann Center for Performing Arts, to playing with your kids at one of the many parks like Breckinridge Park, Crowley Park, Huffhines Park (our favorite), to dinner and a movie at one of the dozens of options, you can always find as little or as much to do as you like.
East Dallas Painting proudly serves homeowners and businesses throughout Richardson, from the tree-lined streets of Canyon Creek and Cottonwood Creek to the mid-century charm of Reservation and Richardson Heights. Whether you’re refreshing a ranch-style home near Breckinridge Park, updating a property along the Sherrill Park Golf Course corridor, or preparing a house for sale near CityLine, our team understands the architectural styles and weather demands unique to this North Dallas suburb. We also serve homes near the University of Texas at Dallas and throughout the Telecom Corridor, bringing the same careful prep, durable exterior-grade paints, and clean interior finishes to every Richardson neighborhood we work in. We’re a local painting company that knows this community, not just its zip code.
Architectural & Home Style Expertise in Richardson
Richardson is home to a distinct mix of architectural styles shaped by the city’s rapid growth during the 1950s through 1970s. From the mid-century modern homes clustered in Canyon Creek and Greenwood Hills to the traditional brick ranch houses found throughout neighborhoods like Richardson Heights and Duck Creek, each style brings its own materials, weather exposure, and prep requirements. Newer construction near Buckingham and along the city’s northern edge introduces mixed-material facades and more complex rooflines, while pockets of Spanish-style homes near Canyon Creek add stucco and wrought iron into the mix. At East Dallas Painting, we take these differences seriously, tailoring our approach to the specific style, age, and materials of your home rather than treating every job the same.
Each architectural style common in Richardson comes with its own set of painting considerations, and understanding them upfront means a better, longer-lasting finish:
- Ranch and traditional brick homes (1950s-70s): wide eaves and fascia boards prone to wood rot after decades of Texas weather, plus painted brick facades that require breathable masonry paint to avoid trapping moisture
- Mid-century modern homes: clerestory windows and expansive glass requiring detailed masking, exposed wood beams often meant to be stained rather than painted, and flat or low-slope rooflines with different drainage patterns than a typical pitched roof
- Pre-1978 homes of any style: potential lead-based paint on original trim and siding, requiring EPA RRP lead-safe certified preparation before any sanding or scraping
- Newer contemporary and neo-eclectic builds: mixed materials on a single facade — brick, fiber cement siding, and occasional stucco accents — each needing a different primer and prep approach
- Spanish-style homes: stucco exteriors that need flexible, breathable paint to handle expansion and contraction, plus wrought iron accents requiring rust-resistant metal coatings

What our Richardson customers say about us
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need HOA approval before repainting my home's exterior in Richardson?
Many of Richardson's established neighborhoods, including Canyon Creek and several others, maintain active homeowners associations that may have color guidelines or approval processes for exterior changes. Requirements vary significantly by HOA, so we recommend checking with yours before finalizing a color choice — we're happy to provide a written estimate and color samples if your HOA requires documentation for approval.
My home was built in the 1960s or 70s - should I be concerned about lead paint?
Possibly, yes. Homes built before 1978, which describes a large share of Richardson's housing stock from its major growth decades, may have lead-based paint on original trim, siding, or soffits. When we work on pre-1978 homes, we follow EPA RRP lead-safe certified practices for any sanding or scraping, protecting your family and property throughout the project.
What's the best approach for painting a mid-century modern home in neighborhoods like Canyon Creek or Greenwood Hills?
Mid-century modern homes often have original wood beams, clerestory windows, and architectural details that homeowners want to preserve rather than paint over. We start with a consultation to identify what should be painted versus stained or left natural, then use techniques suited to the home's specific materials, rather than a one-size-fits-all repaint.
Do you paint commercial properties or offices near CityLine or the Telecom Corridor?
Yes, we serve commercial properties throughout Richardson, including offices, retail spaces, and multi-tenant buildings near CityLine and the Telecom Corridor. We work around business hours to minimize disruption and can accommodate flexible scheduling for occupied office spaces.
What's the best time of year to schedule exterior painting in Richardson?
Spring and fall generally offer the most reliable conditions, mild temperatures and lower humidity, for exterior painting in Richardson. Texas summer heat can cause paint to dry too quickly and affect adhesion, so we help homeowners plan timing around the weather when scheduling exterior projects.
