Hi, I’m Mike Black — Owner of East Dallas Painting

More Than a Paint Job — A Local Story Rooted in Trust

East Dallas Painting was built on a simple belief: the people who transform your home or business should treat it with the same care, integrity, and pride they’d want for their own. From a lifetime of Dallas roots to two decades in corporate sales and a hands-on background in custom design, East Dallas Painting brings a unique mix of discipline, craftsmanship, and customer-first values to every project we take on. Here’s a look at the story, the values, and the expertise behind the brush.

Built on Trust and Local Pride

As a Dallas native, I am incredibly proud of our city and honored to help beautify it – one home and business at a time. Growing up in a military family instilled a deep commitment to professionalism, respect, and accountability. You can always expect timely communication and a highly knowledgeable approach to your project. That foundation of hard work was further solidified during my time as a four-year starting scholarship athlete at a local DFW university. Today, these same core values guide how I run East Dallas Painting and how we serve our valued customers.

My Journey to the Brush

Before founding East Dallas Painting, I spent 20 years navigating the fast-paced corporate world of high-level tech and software sales, ultimately I traded the hyper-digital space for the rewarding simplicity of pure craftsmanship. My true passion for visual transformation began years earlier in Pensacola, Florida, where I owned a custom sign and graphics business designing commercial displays and painting large-scale murals.

The Craft Behind Our Work

Building East Dallas Painting into a trusted local leader has meant mastering the unique demands of virtually every surface and structural challenge over the years. True expertise takes time – there are no shortcuts when it comes to navigating advanced paint technologies, sheens, and flawless color execution. Because a beautiful finish is only as good as the preparation underneath it, we combine precision painting with master-level structural repairs like wood rot replacement, sheetrock restoration, and seamless texture blending. Having beautifully transformed hundreds of local homes and businesses, we are proud to offer dependable, award-winning craftsmanship.
