Our Process

GenTex Painting offers a complete selection of exterior painting services for San Antonio and surrounding areas. At your request, all surfaces are first washed using a pressure washer to remove dirt, mildew, and major paint chipping. All surfaces are then properly prepared before the finish coats are applied. In addition, our team is skilled in keeping the job site clean and organized. You can be sure that the only thing you’re left with after your exterior painting project is done are your newly painted walls to enjoy.

The Exterior Preparation Process

At GenTex Painting, we follow a step-by-step process for every exterior project in order to ensure that surfaces are properly prepared before the start of any painting job as well as to protect any of your valuables and areas of your home that are not being painted.

The Exterior Painting Process:

It all starts with the surface preparation. If the surface is not properly prepared, it will have a direct effect on the longevity of the paint application.
