Residential Painting in Meridian, Hattiesburg, Jackson & Beyond

ACO Painting is a family-run residential painting company based in Meridian, MS, painting homes across Lauderdale, Forrest, Hinds, Rankin, Madison, Jones, and Newton counties. We've been doing this since 2008, and almost every job on our calendar comes from a neighbor's referral or a homeowner we painted for years ago calling us back for the next project. That's the bar we hold ourselves to.

Whether you're refreshing a single bedroom before listing your house, repainting the entire interior after a renovation, or tackling a full two-story exterior before the next Mississippi summer, the same crew shows up, in uniform, on time, with drop cloths in hand. No subcontracted day labor, no surprise upcharges, no half-finished punch lists.

The fastest way to make a house feel new again is fresh paint, properly applied. We repaint single rooms, whole-home interiors, ceilings, trim packages, doors, stair rails, built-ins, and cabinets. Walls get patched, sanded, and rolled in two even coats. Trim is caulked at every joint, sanded smooth, and brushed in a satin or semi-gloss enamel that levels out cleanly without ropy brush marks.

Cabinet refinishing is one of the highest-ROI projects in any home. We remove doors and drawer fronts, clean and scuff-sand every surface, and spray a cabinet-grade waterborne enamel for a factory-style finish. The frames get masked, sanded, and sprayed in place. Done right, a kitchen cabinet refinish costs a fraction of replacement and looks just as good for a decade or more.

For ceilings — including popcorn-texture removal, smooth skim coats, and water-stain touch-ups — we mask the entire room, spray a flat ceiling-grade paint, and back-roll for an even, shadow-free finish. Bathrooms and laundry rooms get a moisture-resistant semi-gloss so steam and splashes wipe clean.

Mississippi exteriors take everything the Gulf South can throw at them: 95-degree humidity, UV, pollen, mildew, hard thunderstorms, and the occasional hurricane outer band. A paint job that ignores any of that starts peeling, chalking, or blistering inside a couple of seasons. We've learned the hard way which products and prep steps actually hold up here, and we don't cut either one.

Every exterior repaint starts with a soft wash to strip dirt, pollen, and mildew off the substrate. We scrape any loose or failing paint, feather-sand the edges so the new coating lays flat, and spot-prime bare wood with a stain-blocking exterior primer. Gaps around windows, doors, trim, and siding seams get re-caulked with a paintable, flexible exterior sealant. Rotted fascia, soft trim, or damaged siding is flagged before any paint hits — we'd rather slow down a day than coat over a problem you'll have to call us back about.

For topcoats we use 100% acrylic exterior paints from Sherwin-Williams or Benjamin Moore, rated for high UV exposure and humidity. Body and trim get two full coats, brush-and-roll on detail work, and a final walkthrough so you sign off on every elevation before we pack up.

Call us at (601) 479-2905 or fill out our contact form, and we'll schedule a free on-site walkthrough — usually within a few days. We measure, ask about your goals, look at problem areas, and listen. You'll get a clean, itemized written estimate within 24–48 hours showing exactly what's included: number of coats, prep scope, products, timeline, and total price. No vague verbal quotes, no fishing for a deposit before you've seen anything in writing.

Once you approve the estimate, we schedule the work, show up on the agreed start date, and communicate every day we're on site. At the end of the project, we do a walkthrough together, touch up anything you flag, and don't call it done until you do.
