Your Local, Trusted, Professional Painters in Mesquite
East Dallas Painting: Bringing premium craftsmanship to the homes of Mesquite since 2014.
Proudly Serving the Mesquite Community
East Dallas Painting has spent years working on homes throughout Mesquite, a city of over 150,000 known as the official Rodeo Capital of Texas.
From the established ranch-style neighborhoods of Casa View Heights and Highland Hills to Colonial Revival and Craftsman homes in Casa Terrace, and newer communities like Solterra and Falcon’s Lair, we understand the wide range of housing Mesquite has to offer.
Whether we’re refreshing a mid-century ranch home near Florence Park, updating a property in one of the New Traditional communities near Creek Crossing, or working on a home close to Downtown Mesquite and Front Street Station, our team knows the architectural styles and weather demands unique to this part of the DFW Metroplex.
We also serve homes and businesses near City Lake Park and throughout the downtown historic district, bringing the same careful prep, durable exterior-grade paints, and clean interior finishes to every Mesquite neighborhood we work in.
Few things beat seeing a Mesquite home we’ve painted still looking sharp years later.
Architectural & Home Style Expertise in Mesquite
Mesquite’s architectural character spans from its pioneer-era roots through decades of post-war suburban growth. The city’s earliest history is preserved at sites like the Opal Lawrence Historical Park and Florence Ranch Homestead, and downtown Mesquite retains brick commercial buildings with decorative corbelling and storefront details dating to the late 1800s and early 1900s.
But most of the city’s residential character comes from its rapid growth after World War II, which produced widespread ranch-style neighborhoods, along with pockets of Colonial Revival and Craftsman homes and, more recently, New Traditional and master-planned communities.
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 type of home common in Mesquite comes with its own set of painting considerations:
- Ranch-style homes (1950s-70s, Casa View Heights, Highland Hills, Pecan Bend): wide eaves and fascia boards prone to wood rot after decades of Texas weather, plus painted brick facades that need breathable masonry paint
- Colonial Revival and Craftsman homes (Casa Terrace): symmetrical facades, front porches, and detailed trim work requiring careful, detail-oriented masking and prep
- 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
- New Traditional homes (Creek Crossing, ValleyBrooke): larger facades with more trim and entryway detail, requiring more extensive masking and cutting-in than a standard ranch
- Newer master-planned communities (Solterra, Falcon’s Lair, 2000s-present): mixed materials on a single facade, brick, fiber cement siding, and stucco accents, each needing a different primer and prep approach
- Downtown commercial buildings: decorative brick corbelling, parapets, and transom windows on storefronts dating to the early 1900s, often requiring masonry-safe products and careful attention to preserve original architectural details
What our Mesquite customers say about us
Frequently Asked Questions
My home is a ranch-style house from the 1950s or 60s - should I be concerned about lead paint?
Very possibly. Many of Mesquite's established neighborhoods, like Casa View Heights and Eastern Heights, date from this era, and homes built before 1978 may have lead-based paint on original trim and siding. We follow EPA RRP lead-safe certified practices for any sanding or scraping.
I have a Craftsman or Colonial Revival home in Casa Terrace - what should I know before repainting?
These homes typically have more detailed trim, porch columns, and symmetrical architectural features than a standard ranch home, which means more careful masking and cutting-in work. We take extra time on these details to preserve the character of the home.
Do you paint commercial storefronts in Downtown Mesquite?
Yes, we work on commercial properties throughout downtown Mesquite, including storefronts with historic brick detailing. We use masonry-safe products and take care to preserve original architectural features like corbelling and window trim where present.
My home is in a newer community like Solterra - is prep different for newer construction?
Newer homes often combine multiple exterior materials, brick, fiber cement siding, and stucco accents, on a single facade. We assess the full exterior before starting and use the right primer and prep approach for each material rather than treating it as one uniform surface.
Do you offer both residential and commercial painting throughout Mesquite?
Yes, we serve homeowners in Mesquite's established and newer neighborhoods alike, as well as commercial properties throughout the city, including near Town East Mall and the downtown business district.
