Tomball, TX

On a brick house, a repaint is mostly a wood job.

Rise and Prime Painting are painters in Tomball, TX, working interior and exterior repaints, kitchen cabinets, decks and fences across the town and the north Houston area around it.

Fascia, soffit and a fence take the weather in ways brick doesn't, so that's what we look at closest before writing a number. Get the trim wrong and the quote's wrong with it.

What we do here

Four jobs we paint around Tomball.

Interior and exterior repaints, kitchen cabinets, and decks and fences.

Interior repaints

One bedroom or every room in the house.

A Tomball interior can be one bedroom or the whole house, and the price follows the walls, ceilings, trim and doors in each room more than the floor area. Furniture goes to the center under cover, the work moves one room at a time so the rest of the house stays in use, and on a house built before 1978 the sanding follows the lead-safe practices the firm is certified for.

Interior house painting

Exterior repaints

On a brick house, the paint is on the wood.

On a brick Tomball house, most of the paint is on the wood: fascia, soffit, trim, doors and any siding. Ray walks it one elevation at a time, because the walls that face the afternoon sun and the ones that stay damp age differently. Cleaning is matched to what each surface needs, and any soft or rotten wood he finds gets inspected before it's priced.

Decks and fences

Staining and sealing for cedar fences and decks.

A cedar privacy fence can be the biggest stretch of bare wood on a Tomball lot. Fence staining is priced by the linear foot, with the height and one side or both moving the number, and a deck by the square foot. The boards get time to dry out after cleaning, because stain over damp wood lets go early.

Deck and fence staining

Kitchen cabinets

Boxes sprayed in place, doors finished flat.

The cabinet boxes stay where they are and get sprayed in place, with the kitchen sealed off from the rest of the house. Doors and drawer fronts are taken down and finished flat, which is our standard process, and soft-close hinges can go in at the same time where they fit.

Houston-area exteriors, including a fascia board taken off with the bare rafter tails behind it. That's the kind of thing we check before writing an exterior number.

Tomball houses

A Tomball repaint starts with the decade the house was built.

Tomball's housing spans every era: almost a quarter of the homes inside city limits were built before 1980, about a fifth in the 1980s, and roughly one in nine since 2020.

  • 23%of Tomball homes built before 1980
  • 21%built in the 1980s
  • 11%built in 2020 or later

Before 1978: the lead-safe rule

Federal lead-safe rules cover paid work that disturbs more than a small patch of paint in a home built before 1978. Rise and Prime Painting is an EPA Lead-Safe Certified Firm, so on an older Tomball house the work area is contained, the sanding is controlled and the clean-up is part of the job.

The 1980s and 1990s houses

A house from the 1980s or 1990s may be on its second or third coat of exterior paint, and what's already on it decides the prep more than the square footage does. New paint doesn't hold onto chalking or peeling paint, so the most weathered spots get found at the walkthrough: the fascia and soffit, the trim, the sunniest walls and anywhere water sits.

The newest houses

A house built since 2020 is probably still wearing the paint it was built with. On a newer Tomball house, the places to watch are the elevations that take the afternoon sun and the trim around windows and doors, and there's usually far less repair to price. A new house with paint already failing may still be the builder's responsibility, so check that warranty first.

Have these ready when Ray comes out to Tomball

  • The year the house was built. It's on your Harris County Appraisal District record, and it settles whether the lead-safe rule applies.
  • Every room on the list, and which ones have to stay usable on which days.
  • Your HOA's rules on exterior colors and fences, if your subdivision has them.
  • For a fence: roughly how long it is, how tall, and whether it's one side or both.
  • A few colors you're weighing. A color consultation comes with the job once you book.
  • Photos of any peeling, soft wood or water stains you have noticed, so we know where to look first.

Fair questions

What Tomball homeowners ask before booking.

Do you come out to Tomball?

Yes. Tomball is one of the five north Houston towns in our Texas service area, and Ray comes out and measures the work himself whether the job is one room or a whole exterior, then puts the price in writing.

How much does it cost to paint a house in Tomball?

Most professional interior painting projects begin around $1,000, and exterior repaints start around $3,500. Where your house lands depends on the condition of what's already on it far more than on the square footage, which is why nothing gets priced over the phone. The ballpark tool on our cost page will get you close before Ray arrives.

Are you licensed?

Texas hands out no painting contractor license at all, to us or to anyone else working in Tomball. We're fully insured, EPA Lead-Safe certified and aerial lift certified. Maryland is different, and that's where the company started: Ray holds MHIC license #120401 there.

Can you work while we are living in the house?

Yes, you can stay in the house while we paint it. We sequence room by room so the house keeps functioning, and containment goes up before anything gets sanded. Tell us on the walkthrough which rooms have to stay usable and on which days, because that's what shapes the schedule.

How long does a repaint take?

How long a Tomball repaint takes depends on the scope and on what the surfaces need before any finish goes on, so we put the real dates in writing with the quote. Cabinet projects typically take three to five days. Exteriors move with the weather, and weather days go into the plan from the start around here.

What warranty do you give?

The 3-YearΒ WorkmanshipΒ Warranty applies to qualifying painting projects and covers failures caused by our workmanship on surfaces we prepared and painted: premature peeling, blistering or flaking from how the coating was applied. It starts the day the project is finished. It doesn't cover deck or fence stain, water intrusion, structural movement, substrate failure or existing coatings failing underneath. Ray goes through that scope with you on the walkthrough.

Do you paint commercial property in Tomball?

Yes, commercial property painting in Tomball is part of what we take on: offices, retail units and warehouse interiors, with the aerial lift certification counting for more on those jobs than it does on a house. Access and operating hours decide a commercial schedule, so raise those first.

What does an exterior repaint include on a Tomball house?

An exterior repaint on a Tomball house covers the painted surfaces outside: fascia, soffit, trim, doors, the garage door, shutters and any siding, plus the caulking and repairs they need first. Brick stays as it is unless you want it limewashed or painted, and a fence or deck is priced as its own line.

Can I paint just the trim on my brick Tomball house?

A trim-only repaint on a brick Tomball house covers the fascia, soffit, window trim, doors and garage door and leaves the brick alone. On brick, the wood is where the weathering shows, so it's a real option and a smaller project than a full exterior. Ray can price trim-only and the full exterior side by side at the walkthrough.

Can you limewash the brick on a Tomball house?

Limewash and whitewash on brick are both services Rise and Prime prices in Tomball, and they're a different decision from painting the trim. Limewash soaks into the brick and weathers gradually, so the texture of the brick still shows through, while paint sits on top as a film. Ray can talk through how each would look on your walls at the walkthrough.

How much does it cost to paint a bedroom in Tomball?

Painting a bedroom in Tomball is priced on the walls, the ceiling, the trim and doors, and the condition of what's on them now, and every residential painting project carries a $1,000 minimum. If one bedroom measures out below that, the project is billed at the minimum, so it's worth pricing the bedroom together with the hallway or the next room you've been meaning to do. Going from a dark color to a light one takes more work than a refresh in the same color, and that goes into the number too. Ray writes the price down at the walkthrough.

Get your Tomball house priced.

Leave your number, what needs paint, and the year the house was built if you know it. Ray measures Tomball jobs and writes the scope and the price down, our crew does the work, and qualifying painting work carries the 3-Year Workmanship Warranty.

Our painting services in Tomball run from a single room to a full home exterior, with cabinet refinishing, wallpaper removal and power washing ahead of an exterior repaint. As a painting company in Tomball and across Houston, TX, we treat surface preparation as the main event of any painting project, and house painters are easiest to judge on the edges. Home or business, the walkthrough comes first. We work the same way in Spring and The Woodlands, and the painting cost calculator will give you a range before you call. What moves the number is laid out in how much it costs to paint a house.
