Painting projects in Houston.
Each project below is one real Rise and Prime Painting job, with what was wrong with it, what we did about it, and the photographs we took while we were doing it.
Four jobs, described from the photographs. You won't find a duration, a price or a customer's name anywhere on this page, because none of those are ours to publish.

A dark cherry kitchen, painted white around its granite and tile.
What was wrong
The cabinets were dark cherry: raised-panel doors, a matching island and a tiled arch over the cooktop, all set against speckled granite counters and a pale mosaic backsplash.
What we did
The second photograph shows the containment: plastic sheeting from floor to ceiling, the counters and appliances covered, and the floor papered, with the cabinet boxes left exposed. Cabinet work is sprayed on site in a contained kitchen, in this order: clean and degrease, sand, repair, prime, sand and detail, finish coats, then reassembly.
How it came out
The after photograph shows the perimeter cabinets and the arch in white and the island in a dark finish, with the granite, the tile backsplash and the wood floor the same as before. The pair is also on a drag-to-compare slider with the other kitchen before and after photos.

Dark brown eaves, porch ceilings and an iron entry on a brick house.
What was wrong
On a brick house the painted surfaces are mostly wood: the fascia, the soffit, the eave line and the porch ceiling. The first photograph shows a fascia board off the eave and the bare wood behind it exposed, with the soffit beside it already dark brown.
What we did
The photographs follow the trim line around the house: a painter on a stepladder cutting in the dark brown porch ceiling by hand, the eave line and soffit in the same brown, and the wrought iron entry doors finished in black.
How it came out
The finished covered patio shows the board ceiling and beams in dark brown against the brick, with the patio furniture and grills in place, and the iron doors stand out black against their brick surround.

A wall opened up and patched, in four photographs.
What was wrong
The first photograph shows a rectangular opening cut in a painted wall below the crown molding, with the stud bay and a blue water line exposed inside. That's a repair before it's a paint job.
What we did
Timber backing went in around the edges of the opening so the patch had something to fasten to, and a drywall patch was screwed in flush with the wall. The last photograph shows the repair skimmed with compound and feathered out well past its edges, drying before paint.
How it came out
Four photographs, one repair, from the opening to the skim coat. The feathered skim is what keeps a flush patch from showing once light rakes across the painted wall.

A stairwell that got its molding filled before anyone opened a can.
What was wrong
Applied molding on a stairwell wall in a grid, with a nail hole at every joint and a seam at every corner. There were dozens of them. Paint will find every one of them and show you where they are.
What we did
Every hole and joint was filled first, and that's the stage the before photograph shows: a grid of white dabs across a gray wall, looking worse than when the work started. Then the panels went warm greige, and the treads and handrail went black.
How it came out
The grid lines read continuous in greige and the corners are sharp, with the black treads and handrail running up beside them.

About these projects.
Are these your own jobs?
Every photograph on this page is Rise and Prime Painting's own work, taken on the job as it happened, not staged for a shoot or pulled from somebody else's marketing.
Why do the write-ups not say how long each job took?
Because we haven't published a number we can't stand behind for that specific job. How long a repaint takes depends almost entirely on how much prep turns up once the furniture moves, and a figure quoted on a portfolio page turns into a promise on yours. Ask Ray at the walkthrough and he'll tell you what he expects for your house.
Why is there no price on any of these?
No price is published for the same reason no duration is: a number that fit one of these jobs would read like a promise on yours. What you can get instead is the method: cabinet painting starts at $3,000, interiors and exteriors are priced by scope, fences go by the linear foot and decks by the square foot. The cost calculator on this site uses the same factors Ray does, so you'll get a range before anyone comes out.
Have you done a house like mine?
Four jobs are shown here, including a brick house with a covered patio, a kitchen with an arch over the cooktop and a stairwell with a molding grid. Say what you've got when you call, and Ray will tell you whether he's worked on one like it.
Can I talk to one of these customers?
Customer details aren't published here. There are 122 Google reviews at a 5.0 average if you want other homeowners' opinions first, and they're on this page, or ask Ray when you call.
Your house, written up like these.
Every job on this page started with somebody leaving a number. On Texas jobs the walkthrough is Ray's own, the scope is written and the product named before anything is signed, and the result carries the 3-Year Workmanship Warranty.
More photographs, and ten drag-to-compare pairs, are in our painting before and after photos, and the painting cost calculator will give you a range before you call.
