Professional Standards
One of the great things about Texas is less regulation of business and the trades; that’s one of the reasons businesses relocate here, and home prices are so reasonable in comparison. One less than perfect thing this creates is a lack of professional standards within the trades. In many home improvements, including painting, there is no requirement for licensing, certification, or a competency test.
At ATD, we have established standards and layers of project supervision that help ensure best industry practices are followed. Many painting company websites are full of industry lingo and stock photos, not ours. You will find only actual photos, at various stages of completion, that represent our work.
What to expect from ATD Painting on your
Exterior House Painting
Job Start
The day your exterior painting starts, your project will be re-walked by your assigned painting Foreman and an Area Manager or Project Manager, with your approved estimate in hand. The specifics of your estimate are identified, including any exterior carpentry. Also, pre-existing conditions are documented (dented gutters, paint on brick from previous painters, etc.).
Power Washing
Power washing is done to remove loose dust and debris. When needed, a higher-pressure wash can aid with removing loose and chipping paint. Care is taken around doors and windows. A pre-wash with bleach or detergent is available for mildew or heavily soiled areas, when needed.
Masking
Not only does 100% masking protect the brick while painting, but it allows for a heavier coat of paint. Occasionally when applying a heavy coat, it will drip or run after moving on to a different section. Masked brick means this is not a problem.
Caulking
In addition to caulking windows and doors to properly seal your home from weather, we caulk soffit, fascia and siding seams, joints, and cracks with a quality silicone-based acrylic caulk. Caulking cracks and seams will keep moisture out and give the surface a nice professionally finished look.
Repairs
Our Carpenters are capable of replacing rotted fascia, soffit, siding, trim boards, doors, jambs and much more. When you allow ATD to do carpentry, caulking, and house painting, there is a beginning to end accountability for the quality of the finished work. An accountability that we welcome.
Additional Prep
Hand scraping will be done, as needed. Loose boards will be reattached, where possible. Nails that have backed out will be reset. As we put our hands and eyes on things up-close, such as on high peaks or the back side of the chimney, any additional work or care that is needed will be identified and addressed.
Painting
We offer the best exterior paints and skilled professional exterior painters. Care is taken to ensure paint is applied per manufacturer’s specifications. Proper substrate preparation, spread rate, and mil thickness are achieved to allow us to get the best performance out of the best paints.
A few areas where ATD has a greater depth of expertise than the average house painter
Exterior Chimney Rebuilds and
Exterior Siding Replacement
From a few 1x4s on a chimney or window, to a complete siding replacement, ATD completes hundreds of exterior painting and carpentry project every year. We have developed resources that gives us the best chance to find matching replacement siding or boards. We can also install James Hardie® boards and siding if you choose.
Stucco Crack Repair and Stucco Painting
We have painted hundreds of stucco / EIFS homes and businesses. There are always repairs, sometimes only a few small cracks and other times they’re more extensive. With stucco painting, we recommend using an Elastomeric Coating that helps reduce moisture and wind-driven rain issues that are common with stucco / EIFS. This allows us to beautify and protect at the same time.
Exterior Paint Options
Because of the harsh Texas summer sun, most homes in DFW need to be repainted every 5-7 years. The super premium paints and caulks that ATD offers can greatly increase that number. Not only will it last longer before needing a repaint, but it will keep that freshly painted look longer as well.

Our Unique Warranty
ATD Painting warrants both workmanship and product failure. With a workmanship only warranty, a person could end up paying the labor to fix an issue, even during the warranty period. A workmanship only warranty allows a painter to declare the paint failing (chipping, peeling, or bubbling) is due to a product failure and not covered under the workmanship warranty. The paint manufacturer’s warranty would only cover providing replacement paint, not labor. The scraping and repainting labor could cost hundreds or thousands. At ATD, in addition to the manufacturer’s warranty, we provide a complete workmanship and product failure warranty for up to 5 years.
ATD Painting’s Warranty
ATD Painting warrants painted surfaces against any defects due to workmanship or product failure for a period of three years from the date of the original install. Stained surfaces are warranted for one year. ATD will provide materials and labor for valid warranty claims during the warranty period. Included in the warranty are chipping or peeling paint, rotted wood (if wood was replaced by ATD) or loss of adhesion or elasticity in paint. Exclusions: Horizontal surfaces, galvanized metal, rust, mildew and fading. Also excluded are any damages caused by your home settling/shifting, sprinkler systems or water drainage and any damage as a result of abrasions.
Signature Package
With the Signature Package, the three-year warranty above is extended to five years and a three-year mildew guarantee is added.
