Buying A Home in Dallas? Contact CertaPro Painters Today!
Posted on October 4, 2026
Congratulations on your new Dallas home! Whether you bought a 1920s charmer in Lakewood, a classic brick home in the Park Cities or a modern build in North Dallas, the weeks between closing and move-in are the perfect time to make it yours, and paint is where most new homeowners start.
At CertaPro Painters of Central and North Dallas, we help new homeowners refresh, repair and personalize their homes before the first box is unpacked.
Why Paint Before You Move In?
It’s faster and easier in an empty house. With no furniture to move or cover, our crews can prep and paint walls, ceilings and trim efficiently, often finishing sooner than you’d expect.
You skip the disruption. Painting an occupied home means living around drop cloths and closed-off rooms. Painting first means you move into finished spaces.
It erases the last owner’s choices. Dated colors, scuffed walls, patched holes and worn trim can all be gone before you arrive.
Popular Move-In Projects for Dallas Homes
Our move-in painting service covers everything new owners usually want done first:
- Interior painting for walls, trim and ceilings
- Crown molding and wainscoting to add character to plain rooms
- Cabinet refinishing to update a kitchen without a full remodel
- Popcorn ceiling removal and wallpaper removal, common in older Dallas homes
- Drywall repair, from small holes to water damage
- Exterior painting for brick, stucco, wood and Hardie board siding
Buying an older home? Many Dallas neighborhoods are full of homes built before 1978, so our crews follow lead-safe practices and take the time to sand and prep older surfaces properly. One homeowner described the superb result on their 1928 home, with no cracks and a finish that looked brand new.
New to Dallas? You’re in Good Company
One of our recent Google reviews came from a homeowner who was brand new to Dallas. They hired us to paint their new place and add wainscoting, choosing CertaPro because of our reputation across the country, and said the service exceeded their expectations.
Another couple has used us three times, including painting the exteriors of two different homes. When you find a painter you trust, you take them with you.
Plan Around Your Closing
Call us as soon as you’re under contract. We’ll schedule a free estimate once you have access to the home, help you choose colors with a free color consultation and fit the work between closing and moving day. Homeowners regularly mention how quickly Max responded with a detailed quote, and how Gilberto and his crew protected every furnishing and finished faster than expected.
