Magna Painting: ExpertsInterior and Exterior PaintingBy Sally KalosI It’s amazing what a fresh coat of paint can do to transform a room. A new layer can refresh, brighten, and lighten your home, and the best part is, it doesn’t require a completeoverhaul. Painting is an affordable alternative to costly remodels and can instantly change the look of any space. At Magna Painting Stone Oak, owner Efrain Menchaca and his team take pride in their craftsmanship, delivering excellent quality painting services.Menchaca opened Magna Painting Stone Oak in 2019. However, when the pandemic hit just months later, he had to close the business, like so many others, during the uncertainty of those early months. Despite the challenges, Menchaca managed to stay afloat, and as life began to return to normal, he found that his services were in high demand.“I think because so many people were spending so much time at home, they started to realize how much they wanted to get done,” Menchaca explained. “It’s been really rewarding to help our clients achieve their goals.”As the owner of Magna Painting, Menchaca is very hands-on. He enjoys communicating directly with homeowners, guiding them through the process, and ensuring their satisfaction every step of the way. “I actually have paint on my hands right now,” he said with a laugh. “You don’t always see that with other painting companies. My employees know the level of expectation I have, and I set the bar high. I think our clients appreciate that.”What sets Magna Painting apart is that the team consists entirely of hourly employees, not subcontractors. “I don’t use subcontractors because I don’t think the quality is there,” Menchaca stated. “My team is motivated to do the job right, and they don’t cut corners.”Serving Stone Oak and the surrounding areas, Magna Painting offers residential interior services, including wall and ceiling painting, baseboards, cabinet refinishing, popcorn removal, furniture staining, and drywall repair.

We are committed to every job and want to make sure our clients are completely satisfied.”One of Magna Painting’s satisfied clients, Jay Raimond, shared his experience. “I had my pool deck sanded and stained in the color I wanted. Efrain is the easiest person to relate to when explaining what you want done, and the people who work for him are professionals. Everything was well done.
