House Painting

Mellados Painters is a painting company in Austin. We paint whole houses, inside and out. This page is about painting the full home at once. That takes planning most single-room jobs skip: color flow, order of work, and which surfaces come first. Here is how to think about it.

Paint the outside before the wet stretch, the inside anytime

Timing splits a whole-home job in two. Exterior paint needs dry, mild weather to cure, so it gets scheduled around the season. Interior work can happen any time of year. Doing the outside first protects the house from weather while the inside follows on its own pace. Planning the order saves you from a stalled job.

One color rarely works in every room

A whole house looks best when colors flow instead of repeat. A shade that feels calm in a bright living room can look gray in a north-facing bedroom, because light changes how color reads. Trim usually stays one consistent color to tie rooms together while wall colors shift. Testing a color on the actual wall beats trusting the paint chip.

Surfaces get painted in a set order

A full-home job follows a sequence so finished work does not get ruined. Ceilings first, then walls, then trim and doors. Outside, prep and repairs come before any color. If walls need patching, our drywall services go first, and cabinets are handled on their own under cabinet painting. We paint full homes across Austin and nearby areas.

We are responsible, we do quality work, and we keep you first through every room and every wall.
