The crew paints interiors, exteriors, cabinets, trim, decks and fences, and also replaces rotten wood and repairs drywall before the first coat.

The company posts free written estimates and says it replies within one business day. It works Monday to Saturday from 7 AM to 7 PM. 5.0 from 111 Google reviews, read November 2, 2026.

Our Take on Squared Away Painting

A small woman-owned crew that earns its 5.0 on repair-heavy exteriors, from painted brick to replaced porch wood. Confirm insurance and schedule early, since the site names only one founder and no crew size.

What We Like

  • Founder Grace checks job sites daily, according to a reviewer
  • Prep comes first: sanding, patching, caulking and priming
  • Repairs and replaces rotten wood and drywall before painting
  • Free written estimates with a reply promised in one business day
  • Handles interiors, exteriors, cabinets, trim, decks and fences

Things to Consider

  • The site does not state a founding year or crew size
  • No insurance or certification is listed on the site, so ask for proof
  • Also does commercial work and garage epoxy, so the crew spreads across several services

    Did I ever get lucky finding Grace with Squared Away Painting. She does everything she says and then some. The quality of the work is second to none. If anyone is in question on who to use, you won’t find anyone more qualified than Squared Away. The communication was great and she really wants the customer to be happy. She went above and beyond to make sure I was happy. I am a very picky person and Grace and her crew satisfied my every need. I am definitely going to have more work done and wouldn’t use anyone else.

    I contacted Squared Away on Friday, and their crew came out on Monday. They were very responsive, provided fast service, and did an excellent job painting our accent wall. Very happy with the results. Highly recommend!

    I had a wonderful experience with Squared Away Painting and am so happy with how my home turned out! Grace provided excellent communication from the initial discussions through completion. She consistently responded to texts and calls the same day, often right away, and the pricing was fair and competitive for a large exterior painting project.<br>The painters were skilled, pleasant, and accommodating whenever I had questions or requests. Their preparation was thorough, including pressure washing before painting, and they took great care maneuvering very tall ladders around the house to protect the windows and screens.<br>Beyond the painting, they beautifully restored my sun-damaged front door by re-staining and sealing it, and replaced the weatherstripping around all the doors. They also pressure washed around the house after finishing, leaving everything looking fresh and clean.<br>The finished result is beautiful, and I truly appreciate the care and hard work that went into it. I would happily recommend Grace and the Squared Away Painting team!

    Grace and her team painted the side of my house where it had been damaged by a bush that had been rubbing up against the paint for years. When they were done it looks amazing. They made the new paint blend with the rest of the house. I’m very pleased

    I want to give a giant endorsement to Grace Rountree with Squared Away Painting. Grace’s crew did an outstanding job painting the brick, trim and doors of our 1950’s ranch. She came every day to check on the work, responded quickly to questions and doesn’t nickel and dime. The whole job was finished in just a few days. If you need a painter, I highly recommend. Thanks Grace!

Company Background

About Squared Away Painting

Squared Away Painting is a woman-owned painting contractor at 4000 W 34th Street, in the Oak Forest and Garden Oaks corner of northwest Houston. Founder Grace is a Houston native who started the company after seeing homeowners stuck with peeling paint, visible patches and contractors who vanished after the final payment. The site says the crew spends more time on prep than many painters spend on a whole job: sanding, patching, caulking and priming come before color.

The service list goes beyond walls. Squared Away paints interiors and exteriors, sprays kitchen cabinets, finishes trim and crown molding, stains decks and fences, coats garage floors with epoxy, and does commercial work. It also repairs drywall and replaces damaged wood, which matters on Houston's older frame houses where humidity rots window sills and porch decking. The site names River Oaks, Memorial, the Heights, West University Place, Bellaire, Oak Forest, Garden Oaks, Spring Branch, Meyerland, Tanglewood and the Energy Corridor among its service areas.

Reviews give the details. Nancy said Grace's crew painted the brick, trim and doors of her 1950s ranch in a few days and that Grace came by every day to check on the work. Curt hired the company for an exterior that also needed rotten window and porch wood replaced and shutters taken down and painted. Another homeowner credited Grace, Jackie and Jaime for helping choose lime wash colors, and a fourth had stucco maintenance, fence repair and a full repaint done. Reviewers also call the estimates fair and the pricing competitive.

The company posts free, written estimates, says it answers requests within one business day and keeps hours of Monday to Saturday, 7 AM to 7 PM. The site does not state a founding year, an insurance carrier or any trade certification, and the team appears small, so schedule early for spring and fall exterior work.

Squared Away suits homeowners with brick, stucco or older wood exteriors who want repair and paint from one crew. It suits less well anyone looking for a large firm with several crews working at once. Before booking, ask for the written scope, the number of coats and primer, a certificate of insurance and how the crew handles lead-safe work in homes built before 1978. Texas does not license painters at the state level, so references and insurance matter. 5.0 from 111 Google reviews, read November 2, 2026.

Squared Away Painting FAQs

  • Is Squared Away Painting licensed and insured in Houston?

    Squared Away Painting does not list an insurance carrier or certification on its site. Texas does not license painters at the state level, so there is no licence number to check. Ask the company for a certificate of insurance before work begins, and for its lead-safe practices if your home was built before 1978.

  • What are the hours for Squared Away Painting in Houston?

    Squared Away Painting works Monday to Saturday from 7 AM to 7 PM and is closed on Sunday. It does not advertise emergency service. Call (346) 233-5422 or use the form on its site for a free estimate, and expect a reply within one business day, as the company states.

  • Does Squared Away Painting repair wood and drywall before painting?

    Yes. Squared Away Painting lists wood replacement and drywall repair among its services, and reviewers describe rotten window and porch wood being replaced before an exterior was painted. It serves River Oaks, Memorial, the Heights, Bellaire, Oak Forest, Garden Oaks and other Houston neighborhoods. Estimates are free and come with a written scope of work.

  • Is Squared Away Painting licensed and insured?

    We have no credential records on file for this company yet. Ask for the certificate directly from the insurer before booking work.

  • What areas does Squared Away Painting serve?

    Houston. Coverage is as the business describes it, cross-checked against where its recent documented work is. Confirm your address before scheduling, particularly at the edge of a service area.

  • Does Squared Away Painting offer emergency service?

    Emergency availability is not listed for this company. If you need an urgent call-out, check the ranking for companies that do list it.

  • Can a business pay to improve its profile?

    A business can subscribe to manage its own listing details, and it can buy a labelled sponsored placement. Neither changes a ranking position or the editorial assessment on this page.
