Incredibly detailed interior and exterior painting for a competitive price. Palafox Drywall & Painting was founded in 1998 by Ruben Palafox and since then we have seen prodigious growth in overall customer satisfaction. We are driven by each positive experience and will do what many will not to ensure satisfaction.

"Joel and his team did a great job painting the entire interior of our home, including the ceiling along with some drywall repairs. Detail-oriented with good communication throughout the process. Fair pricing and adherence to a standard weekday work schedule made planning easy. Focus on quality over speed with a small team meant a few more days but ended with a great paint job that we were very happy with."

Dream Painting is the number one integrated professional group consisting of professional painters with 20 years of experience, communication experts with experience in interior design, advertising, & multimedia. We guarantee your satisfaction!

"We just had our house painted by Dream Painting, and I truly cannot express how impressed we are with the entire experience—from beginning to end. From the initial request for a quote, Paul was incredibly easy to work with. He was open, honest, and transparent about everything, especially the reasoning behind Dream Painting’s use of only the highest-quality paint. From day one, he made it clear that they weren’t interested in doing anything less than a job we could all be proud of—and they delivered on that promise in every way. Claire in the office was absolutely amazing. Despite some scheduling challenges caused by my HOA (and me), she handled everything smoothly. Whether I had questions about colors, scheduling, or anything else, she was always polite, professional, prompt, and a joy to work with. Roberto, the project supervisor for our home, deserves the highest praise. His dedication to customer service is rare and admirable. We had multiple conversations throughout the process about everything from unexpected issues to color decisions and prep work. He always made time to explain the pros and cons of any choice we faced and genuinely worked to find the best solution—even if it meant more work for him or his crew. What really stood out was how he treated my home like it was his own. Roberto has an incredible eye for detail and clearly has years of high-quality painting experience. He constantly inspected the work and caught things I never would have noticed—then made sure they were addressed properly, not just quickly patched. On many occasions, he voluntarily created more work for himself to ensure perfection. Even though he was frequently hands-on with the crew—prepping, painting, or overseeing progress—he always made time to communicate with me. Whether by call or text, I never waited more than an hour for a response. Dream Painting is lucky to have someone like Roberto representing them. He treated me like I was his only client and genuinely acted like he owned the company. I got five quotes before starting this project. Price is always a factor when it comes to something as major as painting the entire exterior of your home. But from my first interaction with Paul and Claire, I had a feeling this company was different—and I was 100% right. Not only did they pressure wash and thoroughly prep the entire home, but they also used top-of-the-line Dunn-Edwards paint. To my surprise, their quote actually came in as the lowest of the five. My wife and I absolutely love the final result. We will never use anyone else for painting—Dream Painting is our go-to from now on, and we’ll specifically be asking for Roberto. If you're even thinking about having paint work done, give Dream Painting a call. You won’t be disappointed. In fact, it may be one of the best home improvement decisions you ever make."

Exterior home or structure paint or stains FAQs

Exterior paint costs around $20 to $80 per gallon, while interior paint costs around $20 to $30 per gallon. Outside paints tend to be pricier because they need to withstand the elements, such as abrasion, moisture, and color corrosion from the sun. In addition, painting the outside of a home is more costly at around $3,100, while painting a home interior costs around $2,000.

Use our paint calculator to determine the number of gallons of paint needed for your project. The average gallon of exterior paint covers 350 square feet in a single coat. So, a 1,500-square-foot home with a paintable area of 1,100 square feet requires seven gallons of paint for a two-coat application.

When determining how much extra paint to purchase and whether to apply primer, clear planning is essential. Rounding up your paint requirements ensures complete coverage and prevents gaps during the application process. Extra paint acts as a safeguard against miscalculations, while proper primer application—decided by the paint type and exterior condition—secures adhesion and long-lasting protection.

When determining how often to repaint your home’s exterior, careful evaluation of both the current paint condition and building materials is crucial. Exterior paint is engineered to last five to 10 years. Aluminum surfaces require repainting every five years, wood requires a new coat every three to seven years, and painted brick needs refreshing every 15 to 20 years. Visible chipping or cracking signals the need for prompt repainting to sustain protection and curb appeal.

When deciding whether to roll or spray exterior house paint, the method chosen directly influences the overall finish and work efficiency. Rolling delivers precision and control for tight, detailed areas, whereas spraying achieves a smooth, even coat on large surfaces with high efficiency. The equipment used and labor intensity are key considerations; homeowners must choose the technique that best suits their project scale and quality requirements.

When evaluating the duration of an exterior painting project, a professional team completes an average-sized house within three to four days. Larger or more complex projects—such as three-story homes or residences with extensive architectural details—require five to six days due to increased surface area and additional setup. A contractor provides an exact timeline after reviewing all project specifics.
