“Quality means doing it right when no one is looking.” — Henry Ford
In Baton Rouge’s most prestigious neighborhoods—Bocage, Old Goodwood, Highland Road, The Country Club of Louisiana- homes aren’t just structures. Their statements. Each one tells a story of elegance, craftsmanship, and Southern charm. And when it comes to painting these luxury homes, the stakes are sky-high.
Did you know that a well-executed paint job can boost your home’s market value by over $5,000? That’s not just about slapping on a new color. It’s about preparation, precision, and premium products. On the flip side, a bad paint job can tank buyer perception and cheapen the overall look of your prized property, something no homeowner wants, especially in a neighborhood where expectations are anything but average.
At That 1 Painter Baton Rouge, we’ve spent years perfecting the art of painting high-end homes across the city’s finest communities. We know what works—and more importantly, what doesn’t. Below are the five most critical mistakes to avoid when painting your luxury home. Dodge these pitfalls, and you’ll protect your investment, enhance your home’s beauty, and make an impression that lasts.
Ask any seasoned painter, and they’ll tell you, prep work is everything. It’s the difference between a flawless finish and a bubbling, cracking mess within months. In a climate as humid and unpredictable as Baton Rouge, proper preparation isn’t optional—it’s essential.
Luxury homes are often built with materials like stucco, Hardie board, old-growth wood, and natural brick—all of which demand specialized care. Neglecting surface prep on these materials leads to a cascade of problems.
Premium prep work includes deep cleaning, sanding, priming, sealing, and often applying mildew-resistant treatments. This groundwork ensures that your finish doesn’t just look good—it performs under pressure. At That 1 Painter Baton Rouge, we treat prep as a non-negotiable because the integrity of your home depends on it.
A luxury home deserves more than just any paint from a home improvement store. Builder-grade paint simply won’t do. When you live in a high-end neighborhood, the finish on your walls and trim should reflect the prestige of the property.
Yet, many homeowners make the mistake of choosing paint based solely on color, ignoring performance, durability, and finish type. Here’s why that’s a problem:
For true luxury homes, high-performance paints like Benjamin Moore Aura, Sherwin-Williams Emerald, and Fine Paints of Europe offer advanced color technology, richer pigments, and extended life. These paints are engineered for environments like ours—sun-drenched and moisture-heavy.
Let That 1 Painter Baton Rouge guide you through the maze of options. We match paints not just to your aesthetic vision but to your home’s unique environmental demands.
Luxury homes in neighborhoods like Old Goodwood and Highland Road weren’t designed to be ordinary. They were built to turn heads. From hand-carved millwork to wrought iron balconies, every detail counts—and deserves to be showcased, not smothered.
One of the most common mistakes we see is painting everything the same color. Sure, it’s faster, but it flattens the visual interest of the home and hides the features that make it special.
When repainting a luxury home, every beam, arch, and decorative column should be treated as a design opportunity. Our expert color consultants at That 1 Painter Baton Rouge consider every architectural feature and match it with a finish that celebrates the craftsmanship.
Louisiana’s climate is as beautiful as it is brutal. The weather here can swing from 90-degree heat to hurricane-force winds in a matter of hours. And if you’re not planning your painting project around that reality, your results will suffer.
Too often, we see DIY or budget painters slap on paint without checking the weather or using climate-specific products. The result? Cracking, peeling, chalking, and more.
At That 1 Painter Baton Rouge, we plan every project with the weather in mind. We use elastomeric coatings and paints designed for high-moisture environments. We schedule around storms. And we use products that are rated for sun exposure and heat resilience. Because painting a luxury home without weatherproofing is like building a mansion on sand.
Perhaps the biggest—and most costly—mistake homeowners make is hiring generalist painters or going with the lowest bid. A luxury home requires a level of care, skill, and experience that many painters simply don’t offer.
Here’s what we’ve seen go wrong:
Luxury painting is a craft. It’s about white-glove service, precision detailing, clean lines, respectful crews, and constant communication. That’s exactly what we deliver at That 1 Painter Baton Rouge.
We’re not painting contractors. We’re painting professionals. We show up with a plan, premium products, and a team of trained experts who specialize in luxury residential painting.

Painting a luxury home is not a weekend project, a budget experiment, or an afterthought. It’s a statement—a bold, visible reflection of your taste, your pride, and your commitment to quality.
Avoiding these five key mistakes—skimping on prep, choosing the wrong paint, overlooking architectural detail, ignoring our unique climate, and hiring the wrong painters- can save you thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours in stress and future repairs.
