From my experience Color World in Austin just acts as a marketer. They have a nice website that…read morewould lead you to believe they are a professional painting contractor. Once hired, they farmed off the work to an unqualified "independent contractor" in an uncoordinated fashion and did not oversee the contractor's work. I don't hold anything against the painter, Daniel, he's just trying to put food on the table for his family. However, he did not have the correct equipment, did not seem to have the skill set for the work, did not understand the scope of work, and did not understand what Color World's obligations were under the contract. We contacted Color World for a small exterior paint job based upon their website and reviews. We had cracks in the exterior stucco and needed these sealed and painted over. However, it was very high up and difficult to place a ladder. My yard crew offered to do it for $50, if I allowed them to use my 36 foot ladder. However, I was worried about the safety of working at that height and was willing to pay to have the work done safely and professionally with appropriate equipment. A company rep came out to look at the job. His name was Joseph. He was a nice gregarious guy. I guess it's possible he had a fundamental understanding of painting, but if so, he did not bother to share any of it. He seemed more a sales type, took some pictures, and provided a quote of $2,000. When asked why the bid was so high, Joseph claimed that was the company minimum and they would not take a job for less. To make it more cost effective we added painting for a large garage door and frame. The total was then $2,800. The Color World contract states they will provide all equipment and materials, do appropriate surface prep, and clean up after each day's work. For me, the only surface prep done was spraying the garage door with a pressure washer. No wire brush was used and no sanding was done. All of the paint chips removed by the washer were left on the drive overnight, after which they dried and blew all over the yard. Daniel's ladder could not have been more than 32 feet - well short of what was needed. He balanced it on the edge of a retaining wall, had his daughter try to hold it from the bottom and then stood at the very top. Incredibly unsafe. He then tried to paint it from the roof. I had specifically requested no use of the roof as I had recently been coated. The painter probably spent at most 10 hours at the house over 2 and a half days for a $2,800 job. Less than two hours on the part of the job originally bid for $2,000. Then he said he was finished. The casing around the garage door had clearly only received one coat of paint, which did not adequate cover, and the stucco paint still had visible unsealed gaps. Joseph came over to inspect the work and said it looked good to him. I showed him what I thought was unacceptable and described Daniel not having the equipment needed to do the job correctly and safely. I told him at a minimum there needed to be another coat on the door casing and that someone needed to come with the correct equipment to do the stucco job correctly and safely. Daniel came back over the weekend with his daughter and asked to use my ladder. I reluctantly provided it in an effort to get the job done, but he did exactly the same thing with the same ladder my yard crew had offered to do for $50. It seems to me like Color World is just fronting bids for what they think they can get, then leveraging unskilled immigrant crafts people to do the work as independent contractors. With this structure Color World would not have to buy any equipment, hire any employees, pay any benefits, or be responsible for safe work practices. It also allows them to blame any customer dissatisfaction on the subcontractor. If I was not concerned they would just screw the contractor; I would not have paid for this work.

They worked great around any changes in the weather and completed the work in a timely manner.

The crew was inexperienced, sloppy, lazy, and took no care in their work. They showed up late and spent a third of the day looking at their phones, dripped paint on all of my outdoor furniture, punctured roofing shingles, destroyed flower gardens, crashed their truck into a retaining wall, left paint on windows, and more. The crew manager was inefficient and ignorant, and the owner offered empty promises. In the end they caused over $10,000 in damages to my property.

I recently hired Austin Professional Painters for a pretty large project: we had remodeled our…read morekitchen and had installed new shiplap, headboard, and chair rail throughout the main areas of our downstairs. The cabinets and walls needed a total refresh of paint, and all that new woodwork had tons of caulking/filling/sanding/priming etc to do. Then we needed new crown molding added to our half bath, and there were several sheetrock patches plus some ceiling cracks which needed good prepping and feathering in. Also, our front and back doors needed to be repainted. So - a lot of work! And I am picky about quality. I chose Austin Professional Painting because they seemed well organized, well qualified, and ready to go at a scale of enough workers that we could get back to living in the downstairs of our house in a reasonable amount of time. Their comfort with good quality paint was also a key factor in my choice. So: the guys who came out to do the work, Carlos and Ivan - plus another couple of guys on certain days, were very nice, polite, and extremely hard working. They did a very good job and I am satisfied with the work. I would hire Austin Professional Painters again (and probably will this fall when we get around to renewing the master bath), and I definitely recommend them. I'll have to update this review with photos soon, I just need to take a bunch of them.

Not only did they give us the most competitive price, John and his crew were very professional and did an awesome job. They painted the whole house including the trim and front door in about 4 days.

This was by far my best experience with a painting company so I highly recommend APP and will be using them for any future painting work.

Although…read morewe weren't ready to kick off the project just yet, their reasonable quote and stellar reputation in the Austin area kept them at the top of my list. Fast forward to March 2026: as we began preparing for broader home renovations, we reconnected with them for an updated whole-house quote. After hiring a handyman to take care of minor repairs around the house, we were finally ready to paint by May. Because 21st Century is so popular with local school districts and commercial clients, their summer schedule fills up fast. However, they promised they could start our project in August during the first week of school, and they delivered right on schedule. Throughout the planning phase, they were incredibly responsive to all my questions and accommodating whenever I needed to update our project scope. When work began, the execution was incredible. They initially estimated the job would take between a week and a half to two weeks. For our nearly 3,200 sq. ft. home, we stayed at a nearby Airbnb expecting a longer process, but their team was so efficient they started on Monday and wrapped up completely by Saturday! The quality of work was outstanding, and their customer service is truly top-notch. As a self-proclaimed perfectionist, I was amazed when I did my initial walkthrough. There were only a few minor spots that needed touch-ups; everything else looked flawless. The owner, Gary, and project manager, Mike, maintained excellent communication and knew the exact status of the project at all times. The crew was courteous, respectful of our belongings, and made sure the house was securely locked up every day. During the final walkthrough, Gary personally ensured I was 100% satisfied and had the team address the few touch-up spots right on the spot. They were so appreciative of our flexibility with scheduling that they even brought a box of donuts to the final walkthrough! Our home literally feels brand new now, and we are so excited to enjoy it for years to come. I will definitely be hiring 21st Century for any future painting needs.
