EXTERIOR FINISH
Paint that holds color through August
Cheap paint jobs fail because of prep, not paint. We scrape, caulk, and prime the bare spots first, then put down a coat rated for the sun that cooks this city.

Why choose us
Why Austin homeowners call Nighthawk for painting
Local crews, proven materials, and a standard we will not lower for speed or price.
Built on Central Texas ground
We have spent years working the neighborhoods between San Marcos and Temple. That means we know the hail tracks, the soil, the wind corridors, and the HOA rules on your street before we ever set foot on the property. When we quote painting work, it is based on what actually happens to homes here, not a generic chart.
Materials we trust
We install products we would put on our own houses. Every material on this list is chosen because it holds up to Texas sun, hail, and wind, and because the manufacturer stands behind it with a real warranty.
- UV-rated exterior acrylic
- Primer for bare wood
- Caulk & flash-grade sealants
- Fiber cement rot-replacement board
Committed to your property
The crew that inspects your painting is the same crew that does the work. No subcontractor handoff, no middleman markup. We protect your landscaping, clean the site daily, and stand behind the finished job. If something is not right, you call us, not a 1-800 number.
Financing options
Managing the cost of your painting project
A roof or exterior replacement is a real investment. We make sure the payment side is not the thing that keeps you up at night.
Flexible monthly plans
Spread the cost of your project across manageable monthly payments instead of paying it all at once. We work with financing partners who understand that a roof or siding job is not a planned expense, it is usually an urgent one. Plans range from short-term payoff to longer terms that keep your monthly number low.
Don't wait for an insurance check
If your adjuster is still reviewing the claim or the payout is weeks out, financing lets us get the work started now. You stop the leak, secure the property, and pay the balance down once your insurance funds arrive. No tarp on your roof for a month waiting on paperwork.
Simple, upfront terms
Your estimator walks you through the financing application during the inspection, right at your kitchen table. No obligation, no hard credit pull until you decide to move forward. You see the rate, the term, and the monthly payment before you sign anything.
Works with insurance deductibles
Many homeowners use financing to cover their deductible portion of a storm claim, so the job does not stall on out-of-pocket cost. We coordinate the scope, the claim, and the financing so you understand exactly what insurance covers and what your plan handles.
Full exterior repaint
Pressure wash, scrape loose paint, caulk every gap, and spot-prime bare wood before a single finish coat goes on. Then two coats of exterior acrylic rated to hold color through Texas UV.
Trim, doors, and accents
Crisp lines where the body meets the trim. We back-brush to work paint into the grain instead of just laying it on top where it peels.
Rot repair before paint
Paint over rot and it comes back in a season. We cut out soft wood and replace it before we prime, so the finish has something solid to hold.
Color selection and Texas UV
Darker colors absorb more heat and fade faster on south and west walls. If your house faces the afternoon sun, we steer you toward lighter tones or a premium acrylic with UV inhibitors. We bring brush-out samples so you see the color on your wall, in your light, before we commit.
Warranty and maintenance
Two coats of quality acrylic over proper prep should last 8 to 12 years on most Austin homes. South and west walls may need a touch-up sooner. Wash the exterior annually with a gentle rinse to remove pollen and dust. Inspect caulk at windows and doors every spring. If you see peeling or blistering, call us before the water gets behind the finish.
Questions
Painting FAQ
How long will an exterior paint job last in Austin?
With real prep and quality acrylic, 8 to 12 years on most surfaces. South and west walls take the most sun and may need a touch-up sooner.
Do you fix rotten wood before painting?
Yes. We replace soft trim and fascia first. Painting over rot just hides it until it spreads.
