Frequently Asked Questions

We serve Fort Worth, Aledo, Weatherford, Benbrook, and surrounding parts of Parker and Tarrant County. If you are located just outside these areas, contact us. We often make exceptions for special projects.

We specialize in residential and commercial painting. This includes interiors, exteriors, cabinet refinishing, drywall repair, trim and molding installation, and pressure washing. Whether you own a home, manage a business, or oversee multiple properties, we have specific processes tailored to each type of project.

Bearcat Painting carries general liability and worker's compensation insurance. This protects you in case of accidents or damage and shows that we meet local Fort Worth and Parker County requirements for professional painters. Always ask for proof of insurance before hiring any contractor. We are happy to provide it. 

Surface prep is one of the most essential parts of any painting project. We carefully inspect all surfaces for peeling paint, moisture issues, or damage. We patch holes, sand rough areas, and prime bare spots for interiors. For exteriors, we pressure wash to remove dirt, mildew, and loose paint. Then, we caulk gaps and prime problem areas. A properly prepped surface ensures the new paint bonds well and lasts much longer.

We primarily use Sherwin-Williams, Benjamin Moore, and PPG products. We select specific paint lines based on the project's needs. For example, for exteriors exposed to intense Texas sun and hailstorms, we recommend Duration or Emerald from Sherwin-Williams for superior UV resistance. We often use paints with high scrub ratings for areas like kitchens and bathrooms. We always match the product to the job for better results. This is just one of the reasons we are trusted painters in Fort Worth, TX.

Yes, we provide free, detailed estimates. When we visit, we assess the scope of work, surface conditions, and any special needs your property might have. We discuss your goals, color ideas, and maintenance plans. Then, we provide a precise written estimate outlining labor, materials, prep work, and timing so there are no surprises.

Choosing the right color is one of the most essential parts of any project. We offer professional color consultations, during which we review paint samples in your actual lighting conditions. We also discuss how colors will interact with fixed elements like roofing, stonework, or flooring. If needed, we apply sample swatches to walls so you can live with them for a day or two before deciding.

Most standard interior jobs take two to five days depending on the number of rooms, repairs needed, and paint choices. Exteriors can range from three days to two weeks, depending on weather and surface conditions. Cabinet refinishing projects usually take five to seven business days. Before we start, we provide you with a project timeline and stick to it as closely as weather and drying times allow.

We work within safe temperature ranges to ensure your paint cures properly. For exteriors, we avoid painting when it's above 90°F or below 50°F. Paint applied in extreme temperatures can crack, bubble, or peel quickly. We monitor daily forecasts closely and schedule projects during the best possible weather windows for long-lasting results.

We recommend removing small personal items, electronics, and fragile valuables from the work area. We move and cover large furniture pieces with clean plastic sheeting. Trimming shrubs and moving patio furniture for exterior jobs helps speed up setup. If you have pets, arranging a safe space for them away from the work areas makes the process smoother for everyone.

Yes, we have extensive experience with commercial painting. We paint offices, restaurants, apartment complexes, retail stores, and industrial facilities. We can schedule work after hours or on weekends to minimize disruption to your customers and tenants. We also know the local building codes and business requirements that commercial property owners must follow.

Modern paints have come a long way. We often use low-VOC and zero-VOC paints to minimize odors during and after painting. In most cases, with good ventilation, any smell fades within a day. If odor is a primary concern, we can recommend specific products for sensitive environments, such as medical offices or daycare centers.

We start by removing all doors, drawer fronts, and hardware so we can spray each piece separately for a smooth finish.

Every surface gets deep cleaned to remove grease and buildup, then sanded thoroughly to create a strong bond.
We fill any damage and sand again to ensure a perfectly even surface.

Next, we apply a high-adhesion primer designed specifically for cabinets.
After priming, we sand lightly once more and spray multiple coats of cabinet-grade enamel for a durable, factory-quality finish.

We allow proper drying and curing between coats to build lasting strength.
Once fully cured, we reinstall everything, including any new hardware you might want.

Our process gives you a clean, durable finish that resists chipping, peeling, and yellowing—perfect for high-use kitchens.

We can match your paint color in most cases, but you must consider a few things. Paint naturally changes over time. Sunlight, weather, and even indoor conditions can cause fading, yellowing, or slight darkening. Because of this, even an exact formula match may not look identical to what is on your wall today.

At Bearcat Painting, we use professional-grade color-matching tools and visual-matching techniques. We can scan the existing paint and create a custom formula that is as close as possible.

For best results, we usually ask for a paint chip from an inconspicuous area, like behind a switch plate or trim piece. In some cases, if the existing paint has aged significantly, a perfect match may not be possible. In those situations, we often recommend repainting full sections—like an entire wall, side, or room—to ensure a consistent appearance.

Matching is very situational. Touch-ups on newer paint are usually easy. Touch-ups on older or sun-faded surfaces often stand out, no matter how precise the color match. Before we start, we will inspect the surface and advise you on the best way to achieve the cleanest, most professional result.

Yes, our work comes with a written warranty covering labor and materials under normal use conditions. The terms are clearly explained in your estimate. If any part of our work fails because of preparation or application error, we will fix it. Our goal is long-term customer satisfaction, not just quickly finishing jobs.

We offer low-VOC and zero-VOC paints for interior and exterior projects. These paints release fewer chemicals into the air, helping improve indoor air quality during and after painting. They meet or exceed EPA standards and are a good choice for homes with children, pets, or anyone with respiratory sensitivities.

You don’t have to sacrifice durability, either. Our eco-friendly paints still deliver strong coverage, smooth finishes, and long-term performance.
If you want, we can recommend the best product based on your specific project and needs.

Cheaper painters often cut corners on prep work, use lower-quality materials, or rush through jobs. That leads to issues like peeling, fading, uneven finishes, and more repairs down the road. At Bearcat Painting, we invest the time and products needed to do the job right the first time.
We properly clean, repair, prime, and apply high-grade paints designed to last in Fort Worth’s harsh climate. Our team is trained, experienced, and focused on delivering work that looks better and holds up longer. In the end, you get better value and avoid the cost and hassle of fixing shortcuts later.

The cost of a painting project depends on several factors, including the size of the space, surface conditions, design details, and the quality of materials selected. For example, a full interior repaint of a 2,500-square-foot home usually costs between $6,000 and $10,000.

This range covers standard ceiling heights, moderate wall repairs, high-quality paints, and a professional, sprayed finish on trim and doors.
Higher ceilings, heavy texture repairs, custom colors, or specialty finishes like accent walls can increase the total.

Cabinet refinishing projects typically start around $3,000. Pricing depends on how many doors and drawers must be removed, prepped, primed, and finished. Significant repairs, grain filling, or color shifts (like going from dark wood to bright white) can also affect the final cost.

We always provide detailed, written quotes that clearly break down labor, materials, and prep work. You'll know what's included before work begins, with no hidden charges or last-minute surprises.

Every home and business is different. The best way to get accurate pricing is to schedule an in-person consultation. During this consultation, we will walk your space, listen to your goals, and create a plan tailored to your

We can schedule your project once you approve the estimate within one to two weeks. However, during peak seasons—such as spring and fall—our schedule may be slightly longer due to high demand. We prioritize clear communication, so you'll always know exactly when we can start and what to expect.

If any changes to the schedule arise, we'll notify you well in advance.
Our goal is to stick to the start date we promised. We understand the importance of timing and work hard to respect your time while delivering the expected quality.
