Residential & Interior Painting Company in Dallas-Fort Worth
Dan Keenan Paint Company is a residential and interior painting company serving Dallas-Fort Worth since 1992, and Dan has been painting DFW homes since 1982, so most of our work is repeat clients and referrals from Lakewood to Preston Hollow. We paint interiors, exteriors, cabinets, drywall, and ceilings using premium Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore systems matched to the surface. We hold a 4.9-star Google rating, carry $2M liability insurance and full workers' compensation, and back every job with a written 3-year guarantee on labor and materials.
Whether you own a 1920s Tudor in the M Streets, a mid-century ranch in Lake Highlands, or an estate in Preston Hollow, we scope the work on-site and hand you a detailed written estimate before a drop cloth goes down. No shortcuts on prep, no surprise change orders.
Interior Painting DFW
A standard interior repaint runs 3 to 5 working days for most Dallas homes, including full prep, two finish coats, and cleanup. We start with a detailed walkthrough, protect floors and fixtures, then fill nail pops, patch cracks, and spot-prime before any color goes up. Walls get two coats of Sherwin-Williams Emerald Interior or Benjamin Moore Aura in your chosen sheen, kitchens and baths get mold-inhibiting finishes, and every room gets a final inspection under raking light so flashing and holidays are caught before we call it done. Dallas homes with big west-facing windows fade interior color fast, so we steer clients toward light-stable palettes on those walls.
Exterior House Painting Built for North Texas Weather
North Texas is brutal on exterior paint. Relentless UV, 100-plus-degree summers, humidity, and hail season chalk and fade south- and west-facing elevations years before the shaded sides go. Expansive Blackland Prairie clay moves under the foundation and opens hairline cracks in siding and trim joints every spring. We power wash, scrape, sand, spot-prime bare wood, and caulk moving joints before applying two coats of Sherwin-Williams Resilience, Duration, or Loxon XP on masonry, back-rolling where it improves adhesion. That prep is why the exterior work carries the same 3-year craftsmanship guarantee as everything else we do.
Kitchen Cabinet Painting & Refinishing
Refinishing cabinets is a fraction of the cost of replacement and, done right, it lasts. We remove every door, drawer, and piece of hardware, degrease, sand to 220 grit, and apply a shellac-based bonding primer before spraying a catalyzed lacquer or waterborne alkyd like Sherwin-Williams Emerald Urethane Trim Enamel or Benjamin Moore Advance. Spraying in a controlled setup, not brushing in place, is what gives cabinets that factory-smooth finish with no visible brush marks. Doors are sanded between coats and reinstalled only after full cure.
Drywall & Texture Repair
We diagnose the cause before we patch. A crack from foundation settling, a screw pop, water intrusion, and impact damage each need a different fix, and cosmetic patching without root-cause assessment just reopens in a season. We repair the substrate with USG setting compounds or Durabond 45, then match the existing texture, whether that is orange peel, knockdown, skip trowel, or a smooth Level 5 finish, feather the edges, and prime with a high-build primer so the repair disappears under paint. Final check happens under raking light.
Popcorn Ceiling Removal
Removing popcorn texture instantly modernizes a room, but homes built before 1980 need asbestos testing first, and we handle that protocol before any scraping begins. We contain the room, wet-scrape the texture, skim-coat to a Level 4 or Level 5 finish, seal with a high-build primer, and topcoat with a flat ceiling white like Benjamin Moore Waterborne Ceiling White. The containment and prep are what keep the dust out of the rest of your house.
Serving Dallas-Fort Worth Neighborhoods
We work across the DFW metroplex and know how the housing stock changes block to block. Century-old craftsman bungalows and Tudors in Oak Cliff and the M Streets need careful millwork prep and period-accurate color; Lakewood and Lake Highlands ranch homes fight mildew and moisture under mature tree canopy; Preston Hollow and Park Cities estates demand hand-carved millwork detail and, in Highland Park, Town Council color approval before exterior work starts. A painting company that knows Dallas neighborhoods will flag HOA and historic-district color rules before you commit, not after. Call (214) 352-9031 for a free estimate.
