Tips, Thoughts & Ideas.
Outstanding work. From the estimate process to the final product. DFW did a paper removal and texture/paint job in bath #3. Wife says “it looks so good it’s now time to get baths 1 and 2 done to match.” She is right. Thanks Andrew and team. We will be calling soon.

Did a great job of removing wallpaper and painting master bath. Estimate had to be adjusted due to some changes on my part, but this was not a big deal. The crew was very professional and completed the entire job in one day…AS PROMISED!! Would definitely use them again and can happily recommend their services.

DFW Painting has a great door refinishing program that we would like our customers to know about. We have created a door refinishing FAQ page for you to learn about our process and an online pricing page to know how much the service will cost. These pages are designed to allow our customers to know exactly what they should expect before a painter comes out to go over the process and confirm pricing with them. This way we can get your project scheduled more quickly and you are informed.
To get started on your door refinishing project, simply fill out our pricing form with your door information. Once the form is filled out, it will then give you a price quote and after submitting the form, a DFW Painting representative will contact you to discuss your project further.
If you haven’t had a chance to explore our website, there are some pretty cool features that you may have missed. We did a lot of updating in 2011 and want to share with you some of these new updates.
We completely revamped our gallery to give a more customer-friendly, clean look. You can view pictures in different categories of painting services that we offer. Check out our gallery page.
Another few pages that we added to our website in 2011 were online pricing pages. We added these pages to make it more convenient for customers wanting “ballpark” estimates. This way you can have an idea of what a service may cost, so you can make a budget or plan, before getting the work done. Below are links to our online pricing pages.

We’ve seen many different articles and color trends predicted for 2012. Keep in mind that your style and color can be anything that you want it to be. Below is an article, Colormix 2012 – Back to the Roots, from the Winter 2011 Painting Contractor magazine.
The Colormix 2012 forecast proves a color palette doesn’t need to stray far from its roots to make a big impact.
The 40 hues highlighted in the 2012 forecast from Sherwin-Williams stick close to home with earth-inspired, color gamily groupings: Reds, Blues, Greens and Neutrals.
“Colors, that are analogous, or adjacent on the color wheel, are a dominant trend,” said Jackie Jordan, director of color marketing for Sherwin-Williams. “We discover a fresh array of combinations with color families be it fiery reds, watery blues, grassy greens or organic neutrals.”
Forget the expected tone-on-tone pairings, she says, Sherwin-Williams color experts drew inspiration this year from the sustainable landscape, which has become an enduring influence on all aspects of design and color trends.
“Share these inspirational palettes with your customers,” Jordan says. They’re available at swcolor.com.
Reds burn brightly
Red is the color of love, fire and the earth’s molten core, and it stirs raw emotions ranging from the deepest passion to the softest femininity. This saturated palette includes hues of brilliant flowers and glowing embers. It isn’t a single red, but a deep gradation of fuchsias, red-oranges, violets and delicate pinks.
“Thanks to the popularity of lacquered finishes and all things China, red has renewed dominance,” Jordan says, “But the old taboos about mixing reds with oranges and purples don’t apply. Our red palette is a s bold and free-spirited as the color itself.”
Blues not washed out
This soothing palette celebrates a pair of functional and treasured blues: denim and water. It explores the darkest indigo to faded-jeans hues, some with violet undertones, as well as the calm, shimmery shades that reflect rivers, lakes and seas.
“As we seek economic blue skies, we’re rediscovering denim, the rugged fabric of the American worker,” Jordan says. “Clean water is another essential commodity, from oceans to tap. Our serene blue palette pays homage to both of these treasured resources.”
Greens firmly planted
Casting aside the more innocent yellow-tinged greens of the past, this eclectic palette focuses on greens that are lush, moody and complex. It showcases the depths of the sea and forest; leafy motifs; rustic natural textures; and organic elements such as algae, moss and seaweed.
“We’re serious about going green, and our green palette honors our sustainable lifestyle,” Jordan says. “This trend is observed everywhere, even in dense urban areas, where rooftop and kitchen gardens flourish.”
Neutrals provide balance
Raw materials continue to influence color trends, especially the more subtle hues. Picture a field of grain, pile of pebbles, weathered wood and earthen clay. Gold tones embody the sun and soft metallics – and warm up this understated yet refined palette. Textural elements, such as linen, unfired porcelain and mixed woods provide subtle tonal variations.
“Steely grays have given way to our neutral palette of warm and cool tones that create a balanced look,” Jordan says.

We love receiving feedback from our customers and have created a new survey form that is sent to all our customers after payment. Take a look at one of the latest ones that we received back from an interior painting job that we did.

According to the Pantone Color Institute, Tangerine Tango, an orange red, is the color of 2012. This is a bright, energetic, inviting color that would be great in a room in your home! You could even use this color for accent walls, pillows or accessories to give your room a little pop of color.
Pantone Color Institute does intense research each year to pick its top color of the year. Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute, says that the color choice is, “sophisticated but at the same time dramatic and seductive, Tangerine Tango is an orange with a lot of depth to it. Reminiscent of the radiant shadings of a sunset, Tangerine Tango marries the vivaciousness and adrenaline rush of red with the friendliness and warmth of yellow, to form a high-visibility, magnetic hue that emanates heat and energy.”
So if you’re looking to add color to your home this coming year, you may want to consider using Tangerine Tango!
I am thrilled with the results of their labor. I found DFW Painting through Groupon. They were professional, courteous and reasonably priced. I had asked the esitmator to divide the estimate into rooms/areas so that I could schedule the work in phases. The esitmates included minor repairs, painting ceiling, walls and trim.
On the scheduled date, the painter came in, took care in setting up the room to prevent spillage or drops. He did a great jot on some repair work and brushed and rolled on the paint vs spray. The end result was fantastic.
DFW Painting was easy to work with, flexible in their pricing and work schedule. The quality of their work far exceeded my expectations. I have recommended them to friends and family and currently working on scheduling my next room.
