Had Southern Painting take all the popcorn off my ceilings, which was a massive and multi-day job. The crew worked very hard and did an excellent, very professional job. It wasn't cheap, but it was a very quality, VERY involved job. A couple years later, we replaced some light fixtures and noticed that the popcorn was still showing below where the fixtures had been (the fixtures were covering them). I asked them to come out and touch it up. It took a number of phone calls to get them to finally schedule someone to come out, but when they did, they had their guys repaint my whole kitchen ceiling at no charge so that MORE than made up for the delay. They are thorough and I would recommend them. read more

Excellent company with painters and staff who do great work. The crew chief can match paint by memory! The crew was very neat, cleaned up after themselves, and made no drips or got paint where it shouldn't be. We hired them to paint the outside of our house and am hiring again for inside painting. Recommended highly. read more

Pics speak for themselves. All pics are of the end result -after 2 coats of top tier paint. They were definitely in the low price range for the work, but they were the only ones available for our timeframe. I even paid them extra for them to do a good job AND tipped because they complained the quote was too low, but there's the results. Missed promises and undelivered. Paint splatter everywhere, overpaint drips and bubbles, missed areas completely, didn't tape areas sufficiently so parts of my walls are stained, etc. Frustrated at the "good enough" and lack of ownership and pride with the work. I could've done a better job with the spray gun. This is an absolute mess and I'll need to contact another painting company to redo everything. I contacted the painter, but 0 ownership or accountability. Please don't waste your time and money. Oh, and they also did some drywall repair and "touched up paint." Area was not plumb, and that touch up paint job was horrendous. read more

I just wanted to send out some positive reviews on "Southern Painting company". After asking for a painter in the area I got their contact info and decided to have them give me an estimate. We basically had our whole home inside and even some of it outside done as well. Lots of chipped rounded corners, holes in the wall and a banister that needed to be stained. Mark took care of it all! His crew swept in days later and completed my laundry list of things to do. They were quick and the work was quality with a 3 year transferable warranty to the next homeowners. Very impressed with them and will be using them again on my other homes needs. read more

I want to preface my review with the info that I used Southern Painting 11 years ago to paint my house and they did a fabulous job. Fast forward to February 2019 when I called them to do some paint repairs for me. I found out that the gentleman who owned it had sold to another entity. Well, I went ahead and booked a visit to do an estimate for my repairs. I was told this would cost to do the estimate, but I agreed. The salesman, Mark Hollingsworth, came out and met with my husband and said he would email us an estimate. A week later and calls and emails, and we finally got an estimate. We had a few questions and couldn't get him to respond back. All in all, it took a month to get our responses. Then we tried to schedule a date and went through the same rigamarole. Interesting fact: this Mark Hollingsworth can't be reached my calling their office and using the auto promoter to choose a salesperson by name. We got hold of someone who said that "Mark was out of town" so that is why he was hard to get hold of. I can honestly say I've never worked with an organization this unprofessional. We had to call and complain several times to get the work done. Mark promised to come out the day of the work to show the guy what all needed painting. He didn't. He lied several times to us. The work was done today. This will be the last time I use this company! read more

We had another great experience with Southern Painting. (they also removed entire house popcorn and painted a vaulted den ceiling several years ago- still looking great!) Mark came out to see our somewhat botched ceiling that a handy man worked on for over 2 weeks. Worked us into the schedule and Rene and Lebrodio (sp?) did an excellent job fixing the paint, texture, cracks and unevenness. Will definitely call them for any future work. read more

After getting quotes from 5+ different painters, we decided to go with Southern Painting to do the entire interior of our new home (walls, ceilings, baseboards, crown moldings, and doors). Rob was our salesperson and also oversaw the work. He was responsive to any questions and concerns we had, and his team was professional, efficient, and on time everyday. Our project was estimated to take more than a week, but they finished in exactly 7 days despite a day delay because of an issue with the paint color (which was our fault). Everything looks amazing and we still cannot believe how much a change of paint can make a difference to our house! Everything looks newer and cleaner, and we could not be happier with the job they did. I would highly recommend Southern Painting! read more

Great job of showing up in a mask and assuring us they would work safe. Their prep and painting was very very neat and professional. They had a team leader who worked closely with his team and with us. I'm very happy with their results! read more

Southern painted the exterior of our very large home and did a good job at a competitive price. There were some issues with errant paint on our deck, but that is to be expected and it was handled expeditiously. We used them for a small job on the interior and again, it was good work. The price was a little higher than other quotes, but we used them because of the quality. We priced them for a large interior job. Despite our repeat business, and the fact that we brought them a lot of business through references on the exterior work, their price was quite high compared to other bids. We asked for reconsideration of the price because we wanted to use them, but were not able to close the gap so we went another direction. Bottom line, a little pricey but quality work. No credit for repeat business or references to other homeowners. read more

Should have read some of previous reviews before accepting bid with this company. Same problem with Mark stringing things along, with need for numerous contacts trying to pin down date for painting. Said he would have a date by a certain date and nothing. After another contact, he asked what would be best for me in the next couple of weeks. I replied that any day would work for and for him to select a date best for him. Waited another 8-9 days with no response, and so I cancelled. How's that for customer relations ! read more

Southern Painting just completed work on our entire downstair walls, kitchen cabinets, guest bedroom, and guest bathroom. They did a FANTASTIC job! Jason was great to work with - he came out and gave us a free estimate within a couple of days of me emailing and they went to work within 3 days! All of that work was completed Mon-Wed and we couldn't be happier! Very reasonable quote and AMAZING service. Two thumbs up. read more

TLDR: Great company, ON TIME, good price and great final product (exterior of my house). I'm very happy w/ my experience w/ Southern painting, specifically Rob Ellis and his crew. I got about 4 quotes when shopping to have the exterior of my house pained. They were tied for lowest, but their communication was way better than the other companies. I did a walk through w/ Rob, so it's always nice to be able to meet the owner face to face. He put me on the schedule and got started on the date promised. It was a big job, but they got it done ON TIME and CORRECTLY. I did a walk through and found some very minor issues which Rob addressed right away. It has now been about 1 month and I'm still VERY happy w Southern painting. I can recommend them with no reservations. I would 100% use them again. read more

This is a very good, detailed, reasonably priced, responsive paint company. The owner, Zachary Joseph, was very easy to work with on setting up the job and then his head crew supervisor, Fausto, was great the day of the job. They sent a second crew over and with a couple of extra hours they finished up my two day job in one day, and it looks amazing. Thanks to Zach and his staff for a great experience. I highly recommend. read more

Terrible experience! Incompetent crew. Ineffective salesperson (Mark). Project lead (Rene) was a ghost. A 3-4 day external house painting project turned into 3 weeks (3weeks!) of a trashed worksite. The crew was left unsupervised to handle prep work (repairs, primer, caulk, etc) and seemed reluctant to finish prep before painting. Called our point of contact (Mark) numerous times to ask for corrections and where was the project lead (Rene)? We actually had to lock up the paint because the crew just kept painting before all prep was finished! Lots of wasted paint, time, and materials. It came down to us finally asking for the owner's contact info. Suddenly the project became important enough to complete & the project lead was onsite for the final 2 days. Owner (Ellis) said; "If I had known sooner, I would have sent different crew." What??! You sent us your D-team? Does another competent A-team exist? How effective is your salesperson as our point of contact? Why didn't he keep you informed of all progress? Why did we need to call you? Not surprisingly, both owner and salesperson seemed very interested in NOT receiving a bad review. Right.... Job finally finished. Not worth the pain. Would NEVER recommend Southern Painting. Very unprofessional. read more

Mr. Gonzalez and his team were very friendly, informative and efficient. The walls that they painted makes our home pop with color. We will definitely use them in the future for any additional services we may need read more

A huge waste of time! The company was responsive at the beginning until the consultation and it all went downhill from there. Mark came for the consultation and the service was scheduled quickly. During the consultation he actually pointed out how straight the edges of our bedroom collar were so I figured they would match those finishes, not even close! We had some cracks to repair in a bedroom and living room and some patchwork on a bathroom wall. All but one of the repairs were done poorly, the paint in our bathroom was sloppy and the edges were not finished well at all. The bedroom was painted the original color rather than the color we wanted, and the repairs there are very noticeable. Mark actually came back to look at the poor work and admitted it needed to be redone. I refused to have the same crew do the work due to their unprofessional behavior and shoddy work so I was supposed to get a different crew last week, which never happened. Work was scheduled for today and they are a no show. Mark is now unresponsive. Save yourself the hassle and hire a different company. read more

Zach Joseph with Southern Painting helped us with our exterior house painting project. He was easy to work with and juggled schedules to make sure the project worked within our needed time frames. He and his team were extremely flexible, professional and easy to work with. They took the time to make sure the project was done to our liking before leaving or accepting payment. They did a great job and got it done extremely quickly. I would recommend them to anyone looking for exterior house painting. Zach can be reached at Zach@southernpainting.com or 512-777-8444. read more

Zach Joseph and his crew did two jobs for me and they did fabulous work!! They were on time, efficient and the end result was exactly what I wanted. I would highly recommend them!! Sylvia Miller read more

Brant was so professional as well as his crew. They were so fast. The job is literally perfect. Sooo fast can't stress that enough. Fit us in the same week we called. Amazing price. We had several other bids it was lower by a LOT. Thank you so much Southern Painting! The Brooks Family read more

I needed my house painted to get it ready for resale. On a short timeline and at Christmas to boot. Zachary Joseph and his crew came through and did a fabulous job. They were so flexible and fantastic to work with. The quality of their work was superior. read more

I had an appointment, they kept trying to reschedule. I wanted my house painted before I moved all my furniture in and that's the reason I set the date. They couldn't get it done or give me an exact day of when. Very flaky. read more

I cannot say enough good things about Southern Painting - from the first phone call, to scheduling, to the actual job itself - I would give them an A+. They are extremely courteous, fast, efficient and their attention to detail is what really makes me recommend them. Awesome job! read more

Southern Painting just completed repairing the wood trim including replacing 3 sides of my chimney stack and other areas that needed attention. They also caulked and repainted the entire house. They are very honest and helpful from scheduling the quote with Carol to discussing the work with Phil Walsh. I am very happy with the work they did and would recommend them again and again. One less thing I need to worry about during the holidays. Thank you Jeff and Carol Stec, owners. read more

Lee P Had Southern Painting to come out and give estimate on repair to stain outside shutters and sand/stain inside banister. The bid was fair but the work crew was a disaster. The crew apparently was not properly informed on details of the job and I had to review work order with them. The quality of the work was horrible. Had to wind up re-coating the banister myself to give in the smooth feel and gloss it originally had. The workers left stain on my interior walls and on my exterior stone from the shutters. Will not use them again! read more

Zach Joseph with Southern Painting helped us with our painting. He was easy to work with and made me feel like my home was a priority to him and his company. As work started to be done, I decided I need more things in the house painted as well. They took the extra time to make sure everything we wanted was to our liking... The work the did included, paining, add quarter round and refinishing all trim, retexturing and painting all, and re-finishing our stair case with a new stain, were all impeccable! Zach can be reached at Zach@southernpainting.com or 512-777-8444. read more

Love these guys. Have painted two houses for me in the past,most recently in the last week. Super courteous,professional and their approach was focused on the customer. Philippe and his crew were awesome. They worked incredibly hard in really hot weather and got my job done quickly. We had stucco repair and concrete staining estimates that were outrageous (from another company). Southern came out gave me many options to consider - all of which were less than the other company. The results were phenomenal and I am grateful for the many options they helped us through. Rob Ellis came out the following day - walked the job with me to ensure we were completely satisfied - I could not be happier. read more

Of all my 5 star ratings, this one is highest. went with this company after a number of recommendations from friends, and couldn't be happier with choice. they've done two large indoor painting jobs for us in past several yrs (east Round Rock), and we were completely satisfied with both. No need to look anywhere else in my opinion. ps: all 3 filtered reviews are 5-star as well, for what it's worth. read more

At first I thought this company was legit. Chris came out and measured and gave me a bid. We agreed and then he brought his foreman to look at our deck and advice on sanding the scratches. The bid we agreed on was $700 and included stain plus labor and using their sander to sand he deck about 1/8". The foreman said they would need to sand deeper so Chris was going to send me another price w a slight increase due to sanding deeper. The bid I got was $1750. So it was a 2.5 times increase. I told him it was unacceptable to mark up the price that much more and asked him why it went so much higher. He never would respond with why. He was not able to be direct about it and that is unprofessional. read more

Zach gave us a very competitive bid on our home's exterior painted surfaces. This was a fairly large job, and required some scraping and re-priming. Jose and his crew worked very hard and showed tremendous attention to detail right through the finish. My wife and I are very happy with how it looks and look forward to years of its beauty. We are a return customer of Southern Painting because the last job showed great longevity. They also did a wonderful job with three siding repairs - can't even notice the repairs now. The add on cost was very reasonable. read more

Southern Painting did an outstanding job on my house. They were recommended by our Realtor and they were everything she said they would be. They had a large crew that power washed and prepped one day and completed the job the next. They even upgraded the paint at no charge. They did follow up to make sure i was satisfied. I got the paint job and the service at a reasonable price. read more

I heard from many neighbors about the reputation of Southern Painting, so I called them for a home estimate. They sent out one of their managers, Zachary Joseph, and I immediately felt his interest, honesty, professionalism and knowledge about my project. I had many different color preferences for each room and he helped me decide on the best color selections for my home. They finished painting my home in two days or less. The paint crew was so meticulous with no drips, spots or spills, that I decided to have them paint my garage also. The crew immediately and carefully emptied my garage and prepped it for the paint. They cleaned out all the dirt and cobwebs and began painting. I was overjoyed when the entire project was complete and the manager, Zach Joseph, was a complete gentleman. I would hire Zach and his crew again and highly recommend them. He said that the company does many commercial paint jobs too and remodeling. His phone number is 512-777-8444. I have already given his name and card out to so many people, family and friends. Thank you, Southern Painting. read more

They were horrible! The crew was slow and, arrived around 9:30, took long lunch breaks and left early. They managed to take three weeks to paint my 1900-square foot house, were supposed to put on two coats on the walls but only did one and all walls are streaking and blotched. They used water-based paint on the cabinets and the steel door and they started peeling within weeks. They had to redo three interior doors twice and finally had to replace them and repaint the replacements. It was the worst paint job I have ever seen and I am sorry that I will have to live with it until it's time to repaint. I've already had someone come in and repaint the doors and some of the cabinets. read more

I had an appointment for Saturday (5/09/15) between 130 pm- 2 pm and no one showed up, no phone call, no text. a total inconvenience by having to get the tenants out of house and me arranging my schedule. I called office and just received a voice message. read more

I have used Southern Painting several times for both large jobs and small. Every time they have done a fantastic job and exceeded my expectations. Jason McAtee was extremely professional and worked with me during my very tight time line. The jobs were completed on time, without mess, and for a reasonable price. I WOULD STRONGLY RECOMMEND. read more

Southern Painting did a great job taking off the popcorn (acoustic) ceiling in our vaulted living room 7'al yrs. ago. We were even happier with Jason, Victor and his wonderful crew when they unpopcorned & painted the rest of our house last week. Really a spectacular job!!! Everyone we worked with was professional, courteous and super talented. Only sorry there are 5 stars. Just the nicest people. We couldn't be happier. read more

FANTASTIC JOB! Great people, great work, will be a repeat customer!

The team just finished painting the exterior of my house today. The wife and I couldn't be happier. Jason gave us the best quote and started/finished the job on time. The work was outstanding--even better than the original paint job from our custom home builder. We're talking good coverage, nice crisp lines, no drips and no overspray. The painters showing up early, working hard, and then cleaning up the yard after each day's work. A real professional job all the way around. We're definitely going to hire them again to do the interior. read more

During the last five months, we have used Southern Painting to paint three commercial buildings and one residential unit in the Austin area. As property managers, we require three bids for every project we oversee. Not only did Southern Painting consistently provide the best bid, they also did consistently great work. The painting crews were always on time, appropriately dressed, and cleaned up at the end of each day. I would not hesitate to recommend these guys; they were very good. read more

Terrible service. Did not show up for painting at all. Never called back to inform customer what happened. No follow-up, nothing. Went with another painter just to get job done. Do not waste your time with this one. read more
