Home Painting in Georgetown, TX

Georgetown is the town where the permit conversation matters most, because a large part of what makes it beautiful is legally protected. If your house sits in the Downtown or Old Town overlay, exterior work needs a Certificate of Appropriateness before a building permit will issue — and that is a design review, not a formality.

Home Painting on Georgetown houses

A paint job is mostly preparation, and the difference between a finish that lasts two years and one that lasts eight is almost entirely what happened before the first coat. We fill, sand, caulk and prime properly, and we mask like the furniture belongs to us.

Two very different worlds. The Old Town and downtown squares hold some of the best-preserved Victorian and early-1900s housing in Central Texas, much of it inside a historic overlay. Then there is Sun City and the newer master-planned areas to the west, which are almost entirely post-1995 single-storey slab construction built for accessibility.

What catches people out here

  • Anything visible from the street in the Old Town overlay — windows, siding, porches, roof material, even paint in some cases — goes through a Certificate of Appropriateness with the Historic Preservation Officer or HARC before the building permit issues. We plan for that review rather than fighting it.
  • Sun City houses are built single-storey with wide doorways and low thresholds. Accessible bathroom work here is genuinely common, and there is an established way to do it that keeps resale value.
  • Original wood windows in Old Town are often repairable and, in the overlay, replacement may not be approved anyway. Restoration is frequently the faster route as well as the cheaper one.

Permits in Georgetown

Applications go through the MyGovernmentOnline portal. The part that catches homeowners is the historic overlay: a Certificate of Appropriateness is reviewed against the Downtown and Old Town Design Guidelines by the Historic Preservation Officer or the Historic and Architectural Review Commission, and it comes before the building permit, not after. We handle the application and inspections through City of Georgetown Development Services as part of the job.

What's included

Everything in a painting

Preparation

Filling, sanding, caulking gaps and scraping any failed coating back to a sound edge before priming.

Protection

Floors, furniture, fixtures and landscaping covered and masked, and the site left clean at the end of each day.

Priming

Spot or full priming as the substrate needs — bare filler, patched drywall and any bleed-through all get sealed.

Interior finishing

Walls, ceilings, trim and doors cut in by hand and rolled or sprayed for an even finish without lap marks.

Exterior finishing

Siding, trim, soffit and fascia in coatings rated for full Texas sun, with any rotten trim replaced before painting.

Georgetown is the one with the historic overlay for us. We are based in Taylor and Georgetown is inside our core service area, so a site visit is usually within a few days of you calling — not a fortnight.

Full southern and western exposure in Central Texas is brutal on coatings. A properly prepared exterior in a quality acrylic should give you seven to ten years on most elevations, though south and west faces will always fade first.

Yes, and done properly it transforms a kitchen for a fraction of replacement. It means degreasing, sanding, a bonding primer and a hard-wearing finish, sprayed rather than brushed. Done badly it chips within a year, which is why the preparation is most of the job.
