Block House Creek painting before the rot gets there first.

Serving Block House Creek homeowners

Block House Creek is one of Leander's original master-planned communities, with homes built in the 1980s and 1990s on mature, tree-lined streets with trails and parks running through the neighborhood. At 30 to 40 years old, these are among the oldest residential properties in Leander, and they are in the age range where the difference between a paint crew that does proper prep and one that does not is the difference between a result that holds for 12 years and one that fails in two.

The most urgent exterior maintenance issue on Block House Creek homes is wood trim condition — window casings, door frames, fascia boards, and soffits that have been through 30-plus years of Leander's summer heat, freeze-thaw cycles, and UV exposure. On homes this age, it is common to find sections where paint has failed, wood has absorbed moisture, and early-stage rot has started in sections that still look paintable from the street. We probe every wood surface during the estimate with a sharp tool — not just a visual assessment — and tell you what is sound, what needs repair, and what needs replacement before any paint goes on.

The prep sequence on Block House Creek exteriors is more involved than on newer homes: power washing, hand scraping all failing paint sections (there are typically more than on newer homes), sanding rough transitions, probing wood, replacing or epoxy-filling any rotted sections, caulking all gaps and joints at brick-to-trim and trim-to-trim transitions, and priming all bare wood with penetrating oil-based primer before masking for finish coats. We use Sherwin-Williams Duration on Block House Creek trim projects — a product with the film thickness and self-priming coverage to actually protect older wood surfaces through a full paint cycle.

We offer interior painting, exterior painting, and cabinet painting throughout Block House Creek and the surrounding area.
