Painting in Austin: what's different here
Austin pairs 1940s–1960s cottages with very new construction, and the area's expansive clay and limestone cause foundation movement that shows up as sticking doors and cracked brick.
What it costs here: Rapid growth keeps crews in demand, so scheduling is the constraint rather than price — emergency work costs noticeably more.
