Paint Your Austin Home to Sell — Faster, and for More.
Fast-turnaround pre-sale painting, timed to your listing date.
You've got one shot at a first impression, and it happens before a buyer walks through the door. Fresh, neutral, professionally applied paint is the single highest-return improvement you can make before listing — and it's the one buyers notice first and judge hardest.
At Bandera Homes, we do pre-sale painting on a seller's timeline. That means clean, durable, move-in-ready finishes, scheduled around your listing date, your photographer, and your open house. Whether you're working with a realtor or selling on your own, we make your home look like the one that sells first on the street.
Why pre-sale painting pays for itself.
Buyers don't see "a fresh coat of paint." They see a home that's been cared for. Worn walls, bold accent colors, and scuffed trim quietly tell a buyer the house needs work — and they price that into their offer, usually for far more than the paint would have cost.
A pre-sale repaint does three things at once: it photographs beautifully (and most buyers fall for a home online before they ever visit), it removes objections before they form, and it lets buyers picture themselves living there instead of cataloging what they'd have to change.
We've seen it firsthand across Austin — Clarksville, Tarrytown, Travis Heights, Brentwood, Rosedale. The homes that show best are almost never the ones with the most expensive finishes. They're the ones that feel clean, bright, and ready. See recent work.
What we handle before you list.
Interior repaints
Walls, ceilings, and trim in buyer-friendly neutrals. We'll steer you toward colors that photograph well and appeal to the widest pool of buyers.
Exterior & curb appeal
Front doors, trim, fascia, and full exteriors. The first thing a buyer sees in the listing photo and from the curb.
Cabinet finishing
A dated kitchen is the most common reason buyers discount a home. Refinished cabinets read as a renovated kitchen at a fraction of the cost.
Wallpaper removal
Dated or bold wallpaper dates a home instantly. We remove it cleanly and leave a smooth, paint-ready wall.
Drywall & trim repair
Patches, dings, settling cracks, and tired millwork, fixed and finished so nothing on the walls gives a buyer pause.
Color consultation
Choosing 'sell-ready' colors is its own skill. We help you pick palettes that move homes, not just ones you'd live with.

Built around your listing date.
We know a listing has a clock on it. Photographer's booked, the sign goes up, the open house is set. We scope the work fast, give you a clear written estimate, and schedule the crews to finish before the camera shows up — not after.
One walkthrough, one timeline, one point of contact. Chris runs every job personally and keeps you posted at each step, so there are no surprises between estimate and "ready to list."
A partner who makes your job easier.
If you're a listing agent, Bandera Homes is the painting partner who makes your job easier. We give your sellers a clean estimate, hit the timeline you need for photos and showings, and leave a finish that lifts your listing photos and your final number.
We're bilingual (English/Spanish), fully communicative from estimate to walkthrough, and we treat your client like our own. Point your sellers to us and we'll handle the rest — on time, on budget, listing-ready.
"Working with Bandera Homes was super easy, and his team went above and beyond. They transformed my client's rental property and even power-washed the front walk-up without us asking. We appreciated Chris's communication and overall helpfulness. Would definitely use Bandera again!"
