Services
Southern Painting is one of the longest-tenured professional painting companies in the nation. We got our start in Texas in 1989 when founder, Mark Collins, saw a need for a full-service company providing expert interior and exterior painting services, using high-quality materials, and meticulous workmanship.
Painting a house is labor intensive, time consuming, and potentially dangerous. To do it well requires preparation, the right tools, skilled labor, and a solid education about the different products, surfaces, and techniques involved. The Southern Painting Family includes a carefully chosen group of qualified trade contractors, all of whom are bonded and insured.
The painting contractors at Southern Painting have the skill and expertise to provide you with the right interior painting solutions for your home. Before we arrive, we will ask you to remove lamps, knick-knacks, curtains, curtain rods, and floor lighting - we'll do the rest! At Southern Painting, we know that color sets a mood and can also make a room appear smaller (dark colors) or larger (light colors). The perception of color appears to change with different lighting, i.e., sun/shade, day/night.
There are a number of steps required to ensure a quality exterior paint job on your home. Many people watch the do-it-yourself shows for home improvement projects, but they don't realize that using the wrong products can seriously damage their home, or that problems can result when trying to paint without proper preparation or tools.

Southern Painting was recommended by four of my friends. They painted my remodeled bathroom from top to bottom with very efficient and superb work. However, I personally picked the wrong colors. David offered his professional advice and gave me the color I really liked so much better. They new I had a timeline to meet and my original painter quickly took care of my mistake. I plan on more painting and Southern Painting is in my address book. Thank you!

Easily one of the best decisions we made in our kitchen reno. We found ourselves off loading even small paint / trim projects to them because we loved their responsiveness and quality. Also any holes we made in our sheet rock many as large as 12x48 disappeared. They are wizards, the whole lot of them!

Poor responsiveness. Would not respond after providing a bid on bathroom painting. Emailed, called twice.

Southern Painting recently painted most of our house interiors from ceilings to walls to trim and also the kitchen cabinets. We had a very good team that were skilled professionals who got along well with each other. The job was well supervised. They protected our floors, cleaned up well, and were quick. We like them so much that we are going to have them paint the outside of our house next year. You can't go wrong if you hire Southern Painting!

David and his team at Southern Painting did a fantastic job on the exterior of our home. To say we are pleased with the results would be an understatement. Professional team and very personable. They went above and beyond to ensure all our expectations were met, then they proceeded to exceed those expectations. If you are looking to get your home painted inside or outside, I say look no further. We will be using Southern Painting for all our painting projects. Thank You Scott and David.

These guys did not have the decency to let me know that they were not interested in painting my house. Read the reviews! Lack of communication is your reputation! David D. who came out and put on the polite snake oil salesman pitch had me feeling confident that they were the company I was going to go with. I waited almost a week and had to call them for the estimate.

That was when they told me they were passing. David knew at the moment he left my house that he wasn't taking the job. Did he politely tell me within 24 hours? NO! 6 days later I have to hear it from a rude jack wagon he started to raise his voice to me. Listen to the recording again Mr Tim owner man. He needs to be trained on how to disarm agitated customers (agitated again because you don't value my time) or fire him.

By the way, why not give me an estimate that you would do the project? Heck, if you quoted something outrageous, they I reject you, not you rejecting me. I have never in my 51 years had a "company" reject me. It's like a relationship. You don't want to be the bad guy and breakup with the other person. Bottom line, people of DFW there are a bunch of polite, responsive companies that respect your time and business and Southern Painting ain't one of them.

1. Slow to respond to issues with the caulk shrinking and creating gaps. 2. Left brush hair on front door and back entry. 3. Dumped out solvent in my yard killing two patches of grass. 4. Paint peeling already. Don't take the risk.

Southern Painting's commitment to excellence and customer service is shown by the beautiful painting that was done, adherence to safety measures, good cleanup and doing exactly what they said they would do. To have a contractor show up as expected is usually rare. However, Southern Painting followed through on their promises. The crew was very courteous and protected our furniture and floors very well, and did an excellent job. David's professional expertise was clearly evident, and we will utilize their services again.

David and the men did an excellent job and when asked to come back to touch up and make a customer happy, they were happy to do it! They were professional and did a great job.

I have had these Arlington local folks out to my house several times over the past 7yrs. ALWAYS a great job done, excellent clean-up and follow thru on covering the specific details involved in the projects. I whole heartedly recommend these pros for painting and drywall repair projects of any sort.

We were more than happy with the work Southern Painting did for us! They were very patient with us during a bumpy time in life.causing one delay after another (on our end) and when we were finally able to get started, they were ready to go! Their crew was efficient, considerate and careful. They did a great job painting our exterior while protecting everything else from any overspray. Our house looks beautiful and refreshed! I highly recommend! We worked with Chris and can recommend him as well!

David Dozier and the Southern Painting team are our "go to" painters. They go above and beyond to make sure everything is addressed before they start their work. If there is wood that needs replaced or bushes that need to be trimmed, etc. - they will let you know. They are very through and clean and always makes sure the customer is happy. High integrity and easy to work with. We recommend them to all our friends and family.

Did a good job, although they were delayed starting by rain. Communication could have been a bit better.

I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Southern Painting. Chris White Oversaw my job beginning to end. He was punctual and saw through every detail, and helped me make a very good call on a paint color choice. His crew was very professional and polite. I was amazed at how fluid their process is. I left for work that morning and came home to find the job almost completely finished.

The workers were very clean and left no mess behind. I had no pressure, no hard sell and no up-selling tactic. While I seldom go into a project without fear of the unknown Chris put me at total ease and I trusted him completely. He lived up to and even exceeded every expectation I had. He did work above and beyond what the estimate called for. I will be using him and Southern Painting again and wholeheartedly recommend to everyone.

After we closed on our new home, David was able to schedule our paint job the same week! This allowed them to paint before our furniture was moved in making it so easy and convenient. We had our interior and kitchen cabinets repainted and it looks beautiful and like a brand new house. I highly recommend Southern Painting and their team, professional, courteous, fast and overall great work.

You complied and gave them a bad rating because they groomed their engine after you wasted their time? Geez
