San Antonio sun finds every shortcut in a prep job
A repaint that failed in four years did not fail because of the paint. It failed because of what was under it.

Since 2003
Value House Painting is a locally owned San Antonio company, run by owner Michael Hernandez, painting homes and businesses since 2003.
Michael says it plainly: our exterior process ensures your new paint job looks great, adds value, and lasts for many years to come. Each project begins with a detailed inspection to identify areas of repair and materials needed to complete your project.
What the inspection turns up
These are the problems that inspection turns up most often on houses around San Antonio.
Texas sun is not evenly hard on a house. West and southwest facing elevations take the longest, hottest exposure of the day, so that is where the color goes flat first and where a chalky film rubs off on your hand. The rest of the house can still look acceptable while one wall has already given up. We walk every elevation during the inspection and tell you which surfaces still have life in them and which ones do not.
Your home, office or business will have all surfaces properly pressure washed and prepared before applying any paint. This includes scraping areas of loose or falling paint, priming areas of bare wood and caulking material separations for a tight seal against our tough Texas weather. When an earlier coating went on over chalk, dirt or unprimed wood it will peel in sheets no matter how good the new product is, so we take those areas back to a sound surface first.
Some of this is carpentry, not painting. We handle siding, fascia and eave restoration, wood rot and siding repair, stucco repair and painting, pergola and deck refinishing, and fence staining. Front doors and decks get their finish coat sealed with a urethane sealer, because those are the two surfaces homeowners ask about most. Rotten fascia behind a gutter line, or a hairline crack in stucco above a window, keeps pulling water in behind the paint, so the material gets repaired before a brush ever touches it.
Across much of our north side service area, local masonry rules mean houses are brick, stone or stucco on the ground floor while the upper story and the rear elevation are left as siding and trim. In neighborhoods like Hollywood Park and Hidden Forest that pattern is the norm. So on a lot of two story homes here the paintable surface is concentrated upstairs and around the back, exactly where the sun and the weather have been working unwatched. It changes how we scope and stage the job, and it is one of the first things we look at.

In their words
We just used Value House Painting, Michael and his crew, for a complete exterior paint job on our house. I plan to use them again. They did excellent work for a fair price and got it done quickly. This is by far the best contracting experience I have had in years. They treated the job with care and took initiative to do what needed to be done to make our house look great. They are a professional crew and know how to treat customers.

Yes. Restoration and preparation are part of the job, not an upsell at the end of it. We do siding, fascia and eaves carpentry and restoration, wood rot and siding repair, stucco repair and painting, pergola and deck refinishing, fence staining and garage floor coating. Paint applied over rotten wood or an open stucco crack will fail, so the substrate is made sound first.

Every project we complete carries a 2 year written transferable warranty of quality, so it stays with the property if you sell. We also carry $1,000,000 in liability insurance on every project. Ask for both in writing before any painter starts work on your house, from us or from anyone else.
Yes. We have painted homes and businesses in San Antonio since 2003, and the exterior process is the same on an office or a storefront as it is on a house: inspect, pressure wash, scrape, prime, caulk, then paint. See our commercial painting page for how we schedule work around your business hours.
