Josh Montana owns and runs That 1 Painter North San Antonio personally, which is why our Schertz, Cibolo, Universal City, and north San Antonio clients deal directly with the person accountable for the result. Local ownership, local crews, and locally priced bids for the Randolph Metrocom and north Bexar County, backed by a 3-year written warranty.
Your painting project means as much to us as it does to you. We're licensed and insured, and our promise is simple: we'll be your best house guests, treating your place with the utmost care and leaving it even more pristine than when we arrived.

That 1 Painter North San Antonio serves the Randolph Metrocom and the I-35 NE corridor, repainting everything from Schertz and Cibolo new builds to Garden Ridge limestone-hill customs and northeast San Antonio HOA stock.
Cibolo is the fastest-growing Guadalupe County suburb along the I-35 NE corridor, with block after block of newer Hardie-sided two-stories, cedar privacy fences, and stucco accents going up around Bentwood Ranch, Falcon Ridge, and Buffalo Crossing. Balcones Escarpment UV and hail-alley spring storms wear those finishes down faster than most owners expect.
Our Cibolo crew leans on premium acrylic exterior systems, breathable masonry coatings for stucco elements, and low-VOC interior products for the young families filling these growing subdivisions. Cabinet refinishing on builder-grade kitchens is one of our most requested Cibolo services, and every project is backed by our 3-year transferable warranty.
Converse sits inside Loop 1604 on the northeast edge of Bexar County, with a mix of 1990s brick ranches around Woodlake and Northampton and current-build stucco homes closer to Escondido and Hidden Meadow. Hail-alley storms and long summer sun exposure are the two biggest reasons Converse homeowners repaint on a shorter cycle than the rest of the region.
We repair failed caulk, patch hail-dented trim, and recoat siding with UV-resistant acrylic systems tuned for the Central Texas climate. Interior repaints across Converse lean toward whole-home color refreshes and cabinet refinishing before resale, all backed by a 3-year transferable warranty on properly prepped surfaces.
Garden Ridge is a Comal County limestone-hill enclave known for custom estates with native stone veneer, stucco fields, and mature oak canopies. Homes here are architecturally distinctive, and their stucco and masonry surfaces need breathable, elastomeric-friendly coatings rather than film-forming exterior paints that trap moisture in the wall.
Our Garden Ridge scope leans heavily on mineral-silicate topcoats, hairline-crack bridging, and careful color matching against ARC-approved palettes. Interior work runs from full whole-home repaints to museum-quality trim and cabinet refinishing on custom kitchens, backed by our 3-year transferable warranty.
Marion is a rural Guadalupe County community east of Schertz and Cibolo, with farmhouse exteriors, metal-trimmed outbuildings, and long fence runs across larger acreage lots. Extended sun exposure and windborne dust across open pasture put a real workload on siding, fences, and outbuildings.
Our Marion crew handles full exterior repaints, deck and fence staining across long perimeter runs, and interior refreshes on ranch homes throughout the Santa Clara and Zuehl area. Every job carries a 3-year transferable warranty and free in-home estimates, with the same crews and pricing you get in Schertz and Cibolo.
Randolph is anchored by JBSA-Randolph and the surrounding Randolph Metrocom neighborhoods where PCS moves keep the housing market in constant motion. Fast-turn interior repaints, cabinet refinishing before listing, and full-home refreshes for arriving military families are the bulk of what we schedule around Randolph.
Our Randolph crew is used to move-in and move-out timelines, ARC submissions across nearby master-planned communities, and coordinating access on and around base housing. Every Randolph project is backed by a 3-year transferable warranty that stays with the home if the family sells at the next assignment.
The San Antonio share of our North San Antonio territory covers northeast Bexar neighborhoods along Loop 1604 and FM 78, including Windcrest, Live Oak, and Kirby. Housing here is a mix of 1980s and 1990s stucco and brick, plus newer HOA-governed infill along the corridor between Randolph and Garden Ridge.
Our northeast San Antonio scope includes full exterior repaints, breathable coatings on stucco and painted brick, interior color refreshes, and cabinet refinishing on aging builder kitchens. HOA and ARC coordination is routine, and every project is backed by our 3-year transferable warranty.
Schertz is the Randolph Metrocom hub along FM 3009 and FM 78, and where our office is anchored. Newer Hardie and stucco two-stories dominate The Crossvine, Belmont Park, and Fairhaven, while established Northcliffe homes lean on brick and lap siding. Balcones Escarpment UV and February freeze-thaw cracking are the two conditions we design every Schertz spec around.
Our Schertz crew handles exterior repaints, HOA ARC submissions, interior color updates, and cabinet refinishing on the many builder-grade kitchens across the growing suburbs. Every project comes with a free in-home estimate and a 3-year transferable warranty on properly prepped surfaces.
Universal City is the classic Randolph AFB gate community, with mid-century brick ranches near the base and newer Hardie-sided infill through Olympia Hills and Coronado Village. Military turnover keeps a steady stream of move-in and move-out repaints on our schedule, and hail-alley storms drive regular exterior touch-ups.
Our Universal City scope covers full interior repaints on fast PCS timelines, cabinet refinishing for resale-ready kitchens, and exterior recoats with UV-resistant acrylic systems. Every project is backed by our 3-year transferable warranty, which stays with the home if the family sells at the next assignment.

Painting pricing in North San Antonio reflects three Central Texas realities: intense Hill Country UV off the Balcones Escarpment, the prep workload required by hail-alley spring storms and February freeze-thaw cracking, and the HOA and ARC documentation load common across Schertz, Cibolo, Universal City, Garden Ridge, and north San Antonio master-planned communities. This 2026 guide shows real numbers from real North San Antonio jobs.

Bars are scaled to the highest average in the table, quick visual of where each project lands.
A quality paint job is mostly labor and prep, not paint. Here's the typical split on a properly bid project.
Professional interior painting in North San Antonio typically runs $2.50 to $4.75 per square foot in 2026, with most Schertz, Cibolo, and Universal City homeowners paying $3.25 to $3.75 for prep, two coats, and trim. A standard 2,200 sq ft home in the Randolph Metrocom or Garden Ridge usually lands between $6,200 and $9,800 fully painted. Pricing scales with ceiling height, trim package, and color-change complexity.
UV is the top failure driver for exterior paint in North San Antonio. Cheap pigments can chalk within two summers under Balcones Escarpment sun, while premium acrylics with inorganic pigments can hold for the better part of a decade. North San Antonio estimates often itemize a UV-grade product upgrade for west and south elevations, especially on Garden Ridge and Marion open lots without mature tree cover.
Stucco, native Texas limestone, and painted brick are everywhere across Schertz, Cibolo, Garden Ridge, and north San Antonio, and they need different products than wood siding. We use breathable masonry primers and elastomeric or mineral-silicate topcoats so moisture can escape rather than blistering the finish off Balcones Escarpment limestone veneer. Stucco repaints across the Randolph Metrocom typically run $2.75 to $4.25 per square foot.
Low-VOC and zero-VOC interior products have closed the durability gap and now perform on par with traditional paints. For North San Antonio families with kids, pets, or sensitivities, we default to low-VOC interior systems, particularly in nurseries and kitchens across Schertz, Cibolo, Universal City, and Converse.
The best window for exterior painting in North San Antonio is early spring and late fall, avoiding triple-digit summer heat and peak hail-alley thunderstorm cells rolling off the Edwards Plateau. We monitor dew point, surface temperature, and 72-hour rain probability before scheduling; a forecast number alone is not enough in Central Texas. Interior projects run year-round across Schertz, Cibolo, Universal City, Converse, Garden Ridge, Marion, and Randolph.
In North San Antonio, expect 5 to 8 years exterior, with south-facing and west-facing walls fading first. Interior paint typically holds 8 to 12 years in low-traffic rooms and 5 to 7 in kitchens, baths, and hallways. Premium products and proper prep are the two single biggest drivers of how long your repaint actually lasts across the Randolph Metrocom.
Cabinet refinishing in North San Antonio typically runs $3,500 to $7,200 for a standard kitchen in 2026, versus $25,000 or more for replacement. We strip, degrease, sand, prime with a bonding primer, and spray a conversion-varnish or 2K-urethane topcoat in our North San Antonio shop or onsite booth. Schertz, Cibolo, and Universal City kitchens with heavy door counts approach the upper range.

Interior painting is the fastest way to reset how a Schertz, Cibolo, Universal City, or north San Antonio home reads without touching the floor plan, and interior painting is the busiest scope our crews run across the Randolph Metrocom and north Bexar County. Interior painting covers walls, ceilings, trim, doors, closets, and cabinet interiors, and every interior painting job we run in North San Antonio starts with real prep so the interior painting film has a clean, sound surface to bond to. Homeowners searching for painters in Schertz or painters in Cibolo for interior painting typically want two upgrades at once: an updated palette and a scrubbable interior painting finish that survives Balcones Escarpment UV, the settlement cracks that come with north Bexar caliche and limestone soils, and daily wear from JBSA-Randolph rental turnover between PCS cycles.
As a painting company in North San Antonio running interior painting across Schertz master-planned HOA stock, Cibolo family homes off FM 78 and FM 1103, Universal City repaints near Randolph AFB, Converse tract homes along Loop 1604, Garden Ridge limestone-hill customs, Marion ranch properties, and north San Antonio HOA stock along I-35 and Loop 1604, we treat interior painting material selection as a real decision. Which interior painting sheen hides hairline settlement cracks over north Bexar caliche and limestone soils, which interior painting product survives a busy Universal City military rental turning over between PCS cycles, and which interior painting primer locks down water-stained drywall after a February freeze-thaw pipe event are questions we answer before the crew shows up.
If you are comparing interior painting bids from painters in Schertz or house painters in Cibolo, ask each of them about interior painting warranty terms, interior painting prep sequence, and how the interior painting crew protects tile, wood, and LVP floors day to day. Every serious interior painting outfit across the Randolph Metrocom should have plain answers to all three. See our interior painting page for full interior painting scope and pricing across North San Antonio.
Exterior painting in North San Antonio has to hold up to intense Balcones Escarpment UV that fades exterior films on west-facing and south-facing walls, especially on open Garden Ridge and Marion lots without mature tree cover. It also has to survive hail-alley spring storms from March through June that pit HardiePlank, dent metal trim, and chip painted surfaces across north Bexar, Guadalupe, and Comal counties, triple-digit summer heat that softens exterior films past 130 degrees, and February freeze-thaw cracking (Winter Storm Uri opened stress cracks in stucco and painted trim across Schertz, Cibolo, Universal City, and Garden Ridge). Exterior painting product choice is the whole conversation. A painting company in North San Antonio that takes exterior painting seriously specifies a heat-reflective, fade-resistant acrylic-elastomeric exterior painting system with inorganic pigments and a masonry-breathable resin so the exterior painting film sheds moisture and resists UV chalking rather than blistering off native Texas limestone veneer, stucco, painted brick, or HardiePlank.
Our exterior painting scope typically includes a full pressure wash, a mineral-stain and mildew assessment with a fungicidal treatment on shaded elevations, spot scraping of any failing exterior painting layers, HardiePlank, stucco, limestone-veneer, native-stone, painted-brick, and painted-wood sound-substrate checks, feathered sanding, spot primer on bare substrate, full caulk of siding seams and window returns, elastomeric bridging on hairline stucco and limestone-veneer cracks, and two coats of exterior painting-grade paint. That exterior painting sequence is the same whether we are painting a Garden Ridge limestone-hill custom, a Schertz HOA repaint, a Cibolo family home along FM 1103, a Universal City rental near JBSA-Randolph, or a north San Antonio home along Loop 1604. Painters across the Randolph Metrocom who skip any of those exterior painting steps are quoting a two-year paint job in a ten-year paint job wrapper.
If you are evaluating house painters in Schertz or house painters in Cibolo for exterior painting, look at how the exterior painting bid describes prep, not just the exterior painting product line. A clean exterior painting film applied over poor prep will chalk and fail inside two Central Texas summers. Our exterior painting service documents the exterior painting prep sequence in detail, and every exterior painting job carries a 3-year transferable warranty.
Cabinet painting is the single biggest visual change a homeowner in Schertz, Cibolo, Universal City, or Garden Ridge can buy without a full kitchen remodel, and cabinet painting demand across the Randolph Metrocom reflects that. Our cabinet painting scope typically covers cabinet boxes on-site plus cabinet doors and drawer fronts sprayed off-site in a controlled environment, so the cabinet painting finish flows out flat and cures without airborne cedar pollen, road dust off I-35, or Randolph flight-line particulate landing in the wet film. Cabinet painting projects like this are why homeowners call a painting company in North San Antonio instead of a general remodeler.
Cabinet painting product selection matters as much as cabinet painting prep. A real cabinet painting job uses a bonding primer, a cabinet-grade urethane-modified acrylic paint, and controlled drying conditions so the cabinet painting film cures hard enough to resist door-edge chipping under daily use in a Universal City military rental, a Schertz family kitchen, or a Garden Ridge limestone-hill custom. As a painting company in North San Antonio that runs cabinet painting jobs almost every week, we schedule cabinet painting so the kitchen is out of service only for the days doors and drawers are physically off. Cabinet painting is a natural indoor project for peak Central Texas summers and hail season, when exterior painting windows tighten around triple-digit heat and afternoon thunderstorm cells rolling off the Edwards Plateau.
House painters across north Bexar, Guadalupe, and Comal counties quoting cabinet painting should walk you through cabinet painting cure times, cabinet painting warranty coverage, and cabinet painting color options with real drawdowns on your actual cabinet material. Cabinet painting is not a wall paint job with cabinets in the way, and any painting company across the Randolph Metrocom that treats it that way is one to avoid for cabinet painting scopes. See our cabinet painting page for cabinet painting scope details and lead times.
There are a lot of painters in Schertz and painters in Cibolo to choose from, so the practical question is how to sort serious painters across the Randolph Metrocom from casual ones. Any painting outfit you bid should carry general liability insurance, provide a written scope, and back the work with a real written warranty. They should also point at recent portfolio work in your specific corner of the market: Schertz master-planned HOA repaints, Cibolo family homes along FM 1103, Universal City rentals near JBSA-Randolph, Garden Ridge limestone-hill customs, or north San Antonio HOA stock along Loop 1604, not stock photos pulled from a supplier catalog.
As house painters in North San Antonio ourselves, we tell homeowners to ask three questions of anyone bidding: what is the exact prep sequence (including hail-damage assessment and freeze-thaw crack bridging), what specific paint product is going on the walls, and who from the company is on site day to day. Painters across the Randolph Metrocom who dodge those questions are hoping you will not notice the answer later. A painting company in Schertz or Cibolo that answers plainly is worth a second meeting. Post-Uri freeze remediation still shows up on older homes across Converse, Universal City, and Garden Ridge; every serious outfit should be comfortable spec'ing a moisture-blocking primer on any drywall or trim that saw pipe intrusion.
That 1 Painter North San Antonio competes on scope clarity, prep quality, and a 3-year transferable warranty that follows the paint, not the owner. If you are collecting bids from painters in Schertz or house painters in Cibolo, we would be glad to be one of the bids you compare against.
A real painting company in North San Antonio is more than a paint crew: it runs estimates, project management, materials logistics, color consultations, and warranty follow-up so the crew painting your house can focus on painting. That coordination is the difference between a painting company in Schertz and a solo painter working out of a truck bed. It is also the difference between a paint job that lands on the promised week and a paint job that drifts a month past schedule when a June hailstorm, a July heat dome, or a rare February ice event sits over Central Texas for a week.
As a painting company across north Bexar, Guadalupe, and Comal counties, our day starts with materials staging for the day's painting scope, drives out to active painting jobs across Schertz, Cibolo, Universal City, Converse, Garden Ridge, Marion, Randolph, and north San Antonio, and ends with paint punch-list walks with homeowners. A painting company in North San Antonio running this way keeps painting projects on schedule and keeps paint quality consistent from the first painting day to the last, even when the schedule wraps I-35, Loop 1604, and FM 78 traffic plus Randolph flight-line access windows and Central Texas weather delays. Homeowners feel that consistency in a lot of small ways: cleaner cut lines, tighter caulk joints, fewer callback punch items.
When you hire a painting company in Schertz or Cibolo, you are hiring the coordination layer as much as the painting itself. A painting company across North San Antonio that quotes a painting scope should tell you what week your painting starts, what week it ends, and who owns the project through completion. If a painting company in the Randolph Metrocom cannot articulate what is included in the price on the bid, that is a signal to keep shopping.
Master-planned communities across Schertz, Cibolo, Universal City, and north San Antonio run on tight HOA exterior color palettes with pre-approved trim and body schemes. House painters in North San Antonio working these neighborhoods need to pull HOA color submittals, spec matching sheens, and coordinate driveway and garage access with community management. House painters across the Randolph Metrocom who came up on tract-only repaints alone often underestimate how much documentation an HOA-controlled exterior actually needs before the first drop of paint goes on the wall.
Garden Ridge limestone-hill customs and older ranch stock across Marion and rural Guadalupe County need house painters in North San Antonio who understand native limestone veneer, stucco elastomeric bridging over post-Uri hairline cracks, and the moisture handling that Balcones Escarpment stone actually requires. Skipping those steps produces a paint job that fails inside two Central Texas summers. JBSA-Randolph rental turnover also drives a real portion of the North San Antonio painting market: rentals across Universal City, Converse, and Schertz turn over on tight PCS windows, and interior repaints need to align with move-out and move-in timelines rather than a leisurely two-week painting schedule.
Beyond HOAs, customs, and military rentals, our crews also cover commercial interiors around FM 3009 retail corridors, Cibolo downtown storefronts, Selma and Live Oak restaurants along the I-35 access roads, and warehouse and light-industrial repaints across the Randolph Metrocom's growing logistics footprint.
Color is where a lot of painting projects across North San Antonio stall, so the painters you hire should have a real color process. Ours starts with existing light in the room, existing floor and trim tones, and the direction the room faces, then we put real paint drawdowns on your actual walls before the crew mobilizes. A painting company in North San Antonio that hands you a fan deck and walks away will paint whatever you point at, which is not the same as helping you land the right color for the space, an especially real risk in a market where limestone glare, cedar-shaded light, and open-lot sun exposure change how a color reads across the year.
Finish selection is the other half. Flat or matte on ceilings, eggshell or matte on walls, satin or semi-gloss on trim, and a cabinet-grade product on cabinets, that mix reads intentional in a finished home across Schertz, Cibolo, Universal City, Garden Ridge, and north San Antonio. Painters across the Randolph Metrocom who put one paint sheen everywhere are cutting corners on materials logistics, not doing you a favor. House painters across North San Antonio that pair color and finish thoughtfully deliver a paint job that reads like a designer walked the space with them.
Booking a painting company in North San Antonio should be simple: a walk-through, a written scope, a written price, a start date, and a warranty. Exterior painting demand runs most of the year across Central Texas, but the tightest scheduling windows are early spring before hail season and late fall after triple-digit heat breaks, so any painting company in Schertz or Cibolo worth hiring is often booked several weeks out during peak exterior painting season. Interior painting flexes year-round, and cabinet painting we can usually schedule with less lead time. Request an estimate above and we will be out with a written scope you can compare against every other bid on your desk.
