What We Do
Residential Painting for Homes Across Dallas County
There's a reason this list is short. Companies that offer everything tend to be good at a couple of things and adequate at the rest, and you find out which is which after you've paid.
San Miguel Painting does four things: interior, exterior, cabinets and wood staining. All four are performed by our own crew, none are farmed out, and all four have been done in this market since 2005. Drywall repair and popcorn ceiling removal come in under interior work, since both are surface prep that has to happen before paint anyway.
Two services sit outside that list. Wallpaper installation and epoxy flooring are subcontracted to specialists. Those are offered because people ask, and you'll be told who's doing the work before anything is scheduled.
What isn't offered at all: commercial, industrial, new construction, cabinet refacing and general contracting. Anyone claiming all of that on one website is describing a sales operation.
What Changes When One Crew Does Everything
Most painting companies this size run on subcontractors. It's easier, it scales faster, and it's invisible to the customer until something goes wrong.
The crew knows the standard because they work to it daily. Same people, same expectations, same person checking their work. A sub crew hired for one job has no reason to care what happens in month fourteen.
One number to call when something needs fixing. No triangulating between a company and a contractor who was hired for three days in April.
Scheduling stays honest. Nobody's juggling your job against another company's calendar, which is why timelines slip on projects run through subs.
Prep is consistent across services. A crew doing interior, exterior, cabinets and staining year-round develops judgment about surfaces. They've seen what fails in this climate.
Accountability lands in one place. Jose runs production. If prep is wrong, it's his problem, and he finds out on the every-other-day check rather than at the end.
The two exceptions get named upfront. Wallpaper and epoxy flooring go to specialists, and you'll know before the schedule is set.
What Every Project Has in Common
The specifics change by service. A cabinet job and a fence job share almost no steps. Underneath, four things hold across all of them.
1. An estimate that took an hour to write
Eric spends a full hour on site with buffer built in behind the appointment. Rushed estimates are how homeowners end up with change orders.
2. Prep that gets its own time in the schedule
Prep isn't the part before the real work. On most jobs, it is most of the work.
3. A crew that cleans up daily
You're living in the house while this happens.
4. A walkthrough before anyone leaves
You and Jose go through it together and mark whatever needs attention.

The Portfolio
Finished Work From Around Dallas County
Living rooms, kitchens, hallways and ceilings. Look at the cut lines where wall meets ceiling, because that's where a crew's care level shows.
