Exterior Paint & Coatings Southlake TX | EmpireWorks

Southlake sits on expansive clay soil that shrinks and swells with wet and dry cycles, and that movement stresses foundations, stucco, and siding enough to telegraph through even a quality paint job as fine cracking around windows, corners, and slab lines. Standard coatings applied without flexibility for substrate movement tend to fail first in these spots.

We assess the substrate for existing movement patterns before selecting a coating system, using flexible formulations and proper joint treatment so the finish can accommodate soil-related shifting rather than cracking with it.

North Texas puts coatings through real extremes, from summer heat that regularly tops 100 degrees with intense UV load to hard freezes like the February 2021 statewide event, plus spring hailstorms that can pit or chip lesser finishes. A coating that only handles one of those conditions will not last on a Southlake property.

We specify coating systems rated for this full range, combining UV-resistant formulations with impact and temperature tolerance so the finish performs through hail season, summer heat, and winter freezes alike.

Southlake's planned communities and City of Southlake architectural review processes mean color and finish choices usually need approval before work begins, and property managers do not want crews disrupting residents or common areas without notice. Timelines can slip when that approval step is not planned for upfront.

We manage the HOA submittal and color approval process directly and coordinate scheduling with property management so occupied buildings and common areas see minimal disruption throughout the project.
