Homes in Haltom City and what they ask of paint
Much of Haltom City was built from the late 1940s through the 1970s. You'll see single-story brick ranches with painted wood eaves, small frame homes with siding, duplexes and older apartment buildings. A lot of homes are rentals. Commercial areas include tilt-wall and concrete block warehouses, metal buildings and strip retail with painted stucco or masonry. On homes, the priorities are durable interior finishes, sealing old water stains and keeping trim sound. On commercial buildings, it's masonry primers, industrial enamels and scheduling around business hours.
Painting a Haltom City shop or warehouse without stopping work
Many Haltom City businesses can't shut down for painting. We split large spaces into zones, paint one bay or room at a time and move shelving and equipment with your team's help. Low-odor waterborne coatings make that possible in occupied areas.
Concrete block walls get a block filler first, which closes the pores so the topcoat doesn't soak in unevenly. Steel doors, bollards and handrails get a rust-inhibiting primer and an industrial acrylic or alkyd enamel. Office areas get a scrubbable eggshell on walls and semi-gloss on frames.

Should you paint the brick on an older Haltom City home?
Some owners of older brick ranches want to modernize the look by painting the brick white or gray. It can work well, but once brick is painted, it needs repainting every ten to fifteen years. We'll check for efflorescence, loose mortar and moisture first, because painting over damp brick traps water.
When brick is a good candidate, we wash it, let it dry thoroughly, apply a masonry primer and finish with a breathable acrylic masonry paint. If you'd like a softer look that ages naturally, limewash is another option for unsealed brick.
Rental repaints for Haltom City landlords
Many Haltom City houses and duplexes are rentals, and owners want quick, durable turnovers. We patch holes, seal stains, paint walls in a standard eggshell color and refresh trim and doors so the property shows well. For units with smokers, we seal walls and ceilings with a shellac-based primer before painting to lock in odor and nicotine stains.
Exterior work on rentals often covers fascia, soffits and doors. A typical small rental interior usually costs around $1,950 to $4,300, depending on the size, repairs and whether ceilings are included.
