About Kwikze Paint

Houston's Paint Expert
Since 2016.

Kwikze Paint is a Benjamin Moore authorized dealer serving the greater Houston area from three store locations. Founded by Abe, an owner with a civil engineering degree and 8 years in construction, Kwikze delivers expert product guidance that big-box stores can't match.

Our Story

Built on Construction Experience, Not Retail Training

Kwikze Paint started in 2016 when Abe saw a gap in Houston's paint retail market. With a civil engineering degree and 8 years of hands-on construction experience, he understood coatings and substrates at a technical level. Most paint store employees read product labels. Abe could explain why a specific primer matters on Houston's concrete block versus fiber cement, or why Aura outperforms Regal Select on sun-exposed stucco.

Paint supplies, color fan decks, and architectural plans arranged on a work surface

That technical foundation shaped how Kwikze operates. Every store staffs people who can advise on surface preparation, coating compatibility, and product selection for Houston's specific conditions: year-round humidity, intense UV, hurricane-season wind-driven rain, and the salt air that reaches well inland from the Gulf.

Today, Kwikze serves Houston from three locations: Katy/Cypress on Fry Road, West Houston on Westheimer near the Galleria, and Southwest Houston on Beechnut. The stores carry the full Benjamin Moore product line: Aura, Regal Select, Ben, Advance, Arborcoat, and Ultra Spec, plus professional painting supplies. Whether you're a homeowner picking a bedroom color or a contractor loading up for a 40-unit apartment turnover, you get the same expert guidance.

What Sets Us Apart

Three reasons Houston trusts Kwikze

  1. Engineering expertise, not sales training

    Our owner has a civil engineering degree and 8 years of construction experience. That means real substrate and coating knowledge: which primer bonds to what surface, which product resists Houston humidity, and which sheen holds up in high-traffic areas. You get technical guidance, not someone reading a data sheet.

  2. The full Benjamin Moore line, in stock

    Every product tier: Aura, Regal Select, Ben, Advance, Arborcoat, Ultra Spec. Every sheen, every base. In stock at all three Houston locations. If we don't have a specific formula on the shelf, we mix it same-day. No ordering online and waiting. No settling for what's available.

  3. Built for pros and homeowners alike

    Contractors get 7 AM Monday through Friday access, volume pricing, and dedicated service. Homeowners get free color consultations, computerized color matching, and honest advice about what they actually need, not an upsell. Same expertise, same products, same standard for everyone who walks in.

Meet the Owner

The paint expert your contractor trusts.

Kwikze Paint was built on a simple idea: a paint store should be run by someone who actually understands construction, not just retail. That's why Abe founded Kwikze, to give Houston homeowners and contractors a resource they could trust for real product guidance.

Abe

Founder & Owner

Abe brings a civil engineering degree and 8 years of construction industry experience to Kwikze Paint. He opened the first location in 2016 and has since expanded to three Houston stores. His engineering background means customers get technical coating advice that goes far beyond what typical retail staff can offer.

"A good paint job starts at the store. If you leave with the wrong product, no amount of skill saves it."

Why we carry Benjamin Moore exclusively

Houston sits at sea level on the Gulf Coast, which means year-round humidity, intense UV exposure, salt-carried moisture, and seasonal hurricanes. Standard paint breaks down fast in these conditions. Benjamin Moore's premium formulations are engineered to handle exactly this. Aura's Color Lock technology resists UV fading in sun-drenched rooms. Regal Select's mildew-resistant formula stands up to bathroom and kitchen humidity. Arborcoat protects deck wood from Houston's wet-dry cycling that rots untreated lumber in two seasons.

We chose to carry Benjamin Moore exclusively, not Sherwin-Williams, not PPG, not Behr, because one premium product line done right beats a shelf full of compromises. Our staff knows every Benjamin Moore product inside and out. That depth of knowledge means better recommendations for your specific project.
