Tellez & Sons Painting, since 1982
Jesse and Isaac Tellez repaint houses in Shavano Park, a small city of large lots and mature trees, and prep every wall for the shade it sits in.
Veteran owned and Latino owned. Insured and bonded.
Heavy shade changes three things: how long a wall takes to dry, where mildew and algae grow, and how much leaf and pollen debris sits on the surfaces we are about to paint. Each one changes the washing and the prep.
Shade keeps siding and trim damp long after an open yard has dried. Paint will not hold on a wet surface, so on a shaded house we check each wall before we start it and hold the coat back until it is dry.
The north and east walls get the least sun, so that is where mildew and algae grow first. We wash that film off rather than paint over it, then let the wall dry before primer or paint goes on.
Leaves, seeds and pollen collect on roof edges, window sills and the tops of trim, and they hold moisture against the surface. That debris is cleared away before we paint those spots.
The wash is our pressure washing service. The paint that follows is exterior painting.
Tellez & Sons Painting, a father and son crew, repaints houses in Shavano Park, Texas. Jesse Tellez and his son Isaac have painted in San Antonio since 1982, and Shavano Park is a small incorporated city in Bexar County that San Antonio surrounds. We paint exteriors and interiors, refinish kitchen cabinets, patch drywall and remove popcorn ceilings.
Large lots and mature trees set Shavano Park apart, so we start every exterior by reading the shade: which walls stay damp, where mildew and algae have taken hold, and how much debris is sitting on the ledges. Those walls get washed and dried before any paint goes on. Inside the house we cover furniture and protect floors. Estimates are free. You call or send a request, we talk through the job, and you get a quote based on the house itself.
Each one has its own page. Start with the outside if the trees have been hard on it, or pick the job you have in mind.
Outside, under the trees
Siding, trim, soffits, fascia and garage doors, washed, dried and prepped before any paint goes on.
Mildew, algae and debris washed off the exterior, before painting or on its own. On a shaded lot this is where the job starts.
Inside the house
Whole-house repaints, master bedrooms and accent walls, with furniture covered and floors protected.
Cabinet doors and frames refinished in a new color, so the kitchen changes without a remodel.
Drywall patches, taped joints and new sheets, finished smooth before any paint goes on.
Popcorn texture removed, the ceiling finished and painted, with the room covered while we work.
Commercial
Offices, retail units and warehouses, scheduled around the hours the business keeps.

Answers for houses on large, shaded lots.
Mature trees keep walls in shade for much of the day, so siding and trim dry slowly and grow mildew and algae, mostly on the north and east sides. Leaves and pollen also settle on sills and ledges. We wash those surfaces, let them dry and clear the debris before any primer goes on, and we quote the washing and prep along with the paint.
Usually, yes. Mildew and algae grow in shade, and paint over a green film does not hold well. A wash removes the film along with leaf and pollen buildup, and then the wall has to dry before primer goes on. Pressure washing is also a service on its own, so a house can be washed now and painted later.
There is no fixed number of days. A wall in open sun can dry in an afternoon, while a wall under mature trees can stay damp much longer, especially on the north and east sides. We check each wall before we start it and hold the coat back if it is still wet. We settle timing with you when we talk through the job.
Yes. Shavano Park is a small incorporated city in Bexar County that San Antonio surrounds, and San Antonio is where Tellez & Sons Painting has been painting since 1982. We also paint in Boerne, in Kendall County. Whichever city the house is in, you call or send a request and we talk through the job.
The house itself: how many elevations and how much trim it has, how much prep the walls need, and, on a shaded lot, how much washing the mildew and algae call for. Estimates are free. You call or send a request, we talk through the job, and you get a quote.
