Residential Painting in Abilene, TX
Most Abilene homes are single-story detached houses. On the many brick ranches, exterior painting means trim, fascia, soffits, doors and garage doors rather than walls; sided homes and newer builds in the Wylie area need full coverage. The median home dates from 1974, so lead-safe practices matter on older houses.
