Q
What does painting a Bee Cave home cost?
Bee Cave exteriors commonly start around $3,500 and run past $9,500 on larger homes, because the number follows the elevations and the detail rather than the floor area. Interior runs $2,500 to $7,500 and cabinets $3,000 to $9,000. The only way to price a home like this honestly is to walk and measure it. That estimate is free, itemized and written down before anything is agreed.
HOW LARGE HOMES GET PRICED
Why square footage tells you almost nothing here
HOW LARGE HOMES GET PRICED
Why square footage tells you almost nothing here
Homeowners often start by asking what a five-thousand-square-foot home costs to paint. It is a reasonable question and it does not have a useful answer, because interior floor area barely correlates with the work involved on the outside of a house.
01
What drives the price is surface, height and detail
Two homes of identical floor area can differ by a factor of two. One is a broad two-story elevation of continuous stucco. The other has gables, dormers, deep overhangs, exposed beams, corbels, stone-to-stucco transitions, wrought iron, multiple rooflines and a three-level drop at the back. The second has vastly more surface, far more edge, and every edge is cut by hand.
02
Detail is slow, and slow is most of the cost
A long uninterrupted wall coats efficiently. The same area broken into panels between beams and brackets can take several times as long, because almost none of it can be sprayed and left. On the homes in Spanish Oaks and Lake Pointe, the detail is precisely what makes them worth what they are worth — and it is also the honest explanation for the number on the estimate.
03
Which is why a quote given over the phone is not a quote
Nobody can price a home like this without walking it. A figure produced from an address and a floor area is a placeholder that will change, and it usually changes upward once someone sees the back of the property.
THE DOCUMENT
What to look for in a large-home estimate
THE DOCUMENT
What to look for in a large-home estimate
The value of an estimate on a house like this is not the total at the bottom. It is whether the document lets you see what you are buying and compare it honestly against another one.
01
Elevations priced separately
Front, rear and each side stated on their own, so you can see where the work and the money actually are — and so you have the option of doing the west and south elevations now and the sheltered ones later, which on some homes is a perfectly sensible plan.
02
Detail called out as its own scope
Beams, corbels, brackets, shutters, iron, garage doors and front doors listed as line items rather than folded into a single exterior figure. This is where quotes on large homes diverge most, and where a low number is usually hiding something.
03
Substrates named individually
Stucco, stone, fiber-cement and timber each get their own preparation and their own product, and each should say so. A single line reading 'exterior paint' across four different materials is not a specification.
04
Coat counts, stated per surface
Not a general promise of two coats.
05
Exclusions written as exclusions
What is not included should be legible as an absence rather than something you discover later.
STONE, STUCCO AND TIMBER
Stone, stucco and heavy timber
STONE, STUCCO AND TIMBER
Stone, stucco and heavy timber
Bee Cave's housing stock is predominantly stone and stucco with substantial exposed timber, and the three age at completely different rates on the same building.
01
Stone and stucco are masonry, and masonry needs to breathe
A coating that seals the wall traps moisture inside it and the finish eventually lifts from behind. On dressed and native limestone the honest recommendation is frequently to leave it alone entirely and work the surrounding elements instead. The full masonry detail is set out on the Lakeway hub, which serves as the masonry reference for this side of the service area.
02
Heavy timber is what fails first and shows most
Beams, brackets, garage doors and front doors take direct weather and are usually the reason a fundamentally sound house starts to look neglected. On a great many Bee Cave homes the entire project is timber and trim, with the masonry untouched — a fraction of the cost of a full exterior and a far larger visible change.
03
Iron and metalwork need their own preparation
Gates, railings and light fixtures want rust treated and a suitable primer rather than a coat of the same product going onto the walls.
04
And the west side ages first
Bee Cave sits high and open on the western edge of the metro, so south and west elevations run a stage ahead of north and east ones. Deep colors on a western wall give up their color sooner — worth knowing before choosing, rather than after.
LOCAL DEMAND
What Bee Cave homeowners actually call about
Across Bee Cave the work clusters tightly, and Ranger runs dedicated painting services to cover it:
01
Exterior Painting & Repaints
Full exterior repaints are the largest share of the work, usually taking two to three days on a standard subdivision home, weather permitting.
02
Interior Painting & Wall Upgrades
Interior painting is usually about replacing builder-grade flat walls with a durable, washable eggshell on walls and semi-gloss on trim.
03
Cabinet Painting & Refinishing
Refinishing costs a fraction of replacement — doors come off and get labeled, factory coating is degreased and deglossed, and the finish hardens before rehanging.
04
Trim & Front-Door Refreshes
Trim and front-door refreshes are the most requested project of the year and yield the highest instant return on investment for curb appeal.
Most homes need two or three of the five, not all of them. If you want to find the right starting point, the free estimate will tell you which walls need attention this year and which can wait a season.
THE PROCESS
How a large-home project is run
THE PROCESS
How a large-home project is run
01
It begins with measuring, not estimating
The property gets walked and measured — every elevation, the detail, the substrate transitions, the access, the condition of the timber, whether the existing finish chalks off on a hand. On a home of this size that visit takes real time, and it should. Nathan Wingate founded Ranger after around twenty years around the trades, and the document produced afterward is written to the standard he set.
02
The site is protected before anything is opened
Landscaping, stone, glass, pool surrounds, ironwork and outdoor furniture get masked and covered. On these properties the protection of what is not being painted is a substantial part of a professional job, and it is included rather than charged as an extra.
03
A dedicated painting crew stays with the property
Stays start to finish. On a project measured in weeks rather than days, continuity is what keeps the standard even from the first elevation to the last.
04
Findings come back to you in writing
Where something turns up behind a beam or under a soffit, work stops, you are shown it, and revised options and costs are put in writing before anyone continues. Nothing reaches a final invoice that was not agreed in advance.
05
A project manager walks the finished job with you
Walks elevation by elevation. Anything on the list is corrected before an invoice is issued.
YOUR PROTECTION
The cover that matters on a high-value property
On a home of this value the question worth asking is not really about paint. It is what happens if something goes wrong on your property while a crew is working on it.
01
General liability and workers compensation
Certificate issued to you directly by the insurance agent rather than asserted on a website. Ask any contractor for it. On a property like yours, working with anyone who cannot produce one is a risk that has nothing to do with how the finish looks. Worth knowing: Texas issues no state license for painting contractors, which means insurance is the credential in this trade that can genuinely be checked.
02
Up to a 5-year written workmanship warranty
With the term set by the package you choose and printed on your estimate. Commonly three, four or five years. Staining carries none.
03
Every project is backed by a $25,000 Good Contractors List guarantee
An independent third party standing behind the work alongside Ranger. It is a promotional guarantee rather than a bond.

Get every elevation priced separately
On a house like this the itemized document is the entire point of getting an estimate. Have someone walk and measure the property, price the elevations individually, list the detail as its own scope, name the product on each substrate, and state the warranty term — then compare that against anything else you have been given.
