What Lewisville homes ask of a painting crew

Statewide building permits covered 225,756 housing units in 2024 (Census). New homes become repaint jobs within a decade, and builder work means contract insurance clauses today.
70% of Lewisville workers drive alone to work and 11% commute 45 minutes or more. Painting crews spend the same hours on the road, and a work van needs commercial auto coverage.
ACS puts Lewisville's remote-work share at 19% (state: 14%). Interior painters there often work around someone's workday, so scheduling and ventilation matter.
