Exterior Painting Project in Tyler, TX
A Tyler Home Repaint Done the Right Way After a Bad Paint Job
After another painter failed to properly prepare the home, this Tyler homeowner called Quality Coats Painting for help. The project became a clear example of why prep work, communication, and craftsmanship matter before a single coat of paint is applied.
The Homeowner’s Problem
This homeowner had already paid another painting company to paint the exterior of the home. Unfortunately, the original painter did not properly prepare the surface, and the finished result was not what the homeowner expected.
When Quality Coats Painting visited the home, Paul Miller took time to walk the homeowner through what should have been done, where the previous job went wrong, and how the project could be corrected.
For homeowners, this is one of the most important parts of choosing a painter. A good exterior paint job is not just about the color. It depends on preparation, product selection, application, communication, and follow-through.
What Needed to Be Corrected
The biggest issue was poor preparation. When a home is not properly cleaned, scraped, sanded, caulked, or repaired before painting, the finished result can look uneven and may not hold up the way it should.
What Quality Coats Did Differently
The crew focused on doing the prep work properly before applying the finish. That meant taking the time to prepare the exterior so the new paint would look clean, smooth, and professional.
Why It Mattered
This project shows why the lowest quote is not always the best choice. When prep is skipped, homeowners can end up paying twice: once for the bad job and again to have it corrected.

The Finished Result
The finished home has a clean, classic exterior with bright siding, gray shutters, a refreshed foundation area, and a red front door that gives the home a welcoming focal point from the street.
More importantly, the homeowner felt confident that the project was handled the right way the second time. The crew prepared the home carefully, completed the painting with attention to detail, and exceeded expectations.
What the Homeowner Said
“Not long ago we hired a guy and his company to paint our home. Unfortunately, he did a horrible job. He didn't prep the house at all and the paint job was really bad. We called Quality Coats Painting to come over and give us a quote. Paul Miller came over and looked at the house. He took his time to explain what should have been done and then he told us everything that Quality Coats Painting does. We spent about an hour with Paul Miller. He was so knowledgeable, friendly....just an all around great guy.
We hired Quality Coats and I will tell you one thing, the guys that came out to paint the house, not only did an excellent job prepping, they did an outstanding paint job! They went over and above the call of duty! Quality Coats Painting exceeded our expectations!
If you want a paint job done the right way, Quality Coats Painting IS the company to hire! We highly recommend them!!!!”
