About Fresh Coat of North Austin

My name is Karen Wagner and I’m the local owner and operator of Fresh Coat North Austin located in Cedar Park. I have lived in Cedar Park for 19 years, raising two sons who attended schools in this community before launching my own business. Having lived in the north Austin area these past 2 decades has provided me the opportunity to see first-hand the extreme high-growth and exciting development of one of the fastest growing communities in the nation. It is a great place to live and work.

Before opening Fresh Coat North Austin, I worked 18 years for a global technology firm headquartered in Round Rock managing various financial departments. I have a bachelor’s degree in accounting and an MBA from Keller Graduate School of Management.

My likable and skilled employees and contractors are trained, have many years of experience, are bonded and insured. Fresh Coat North Austin is different than other painting companies because of the personal attention we offer for our clients. We can help you with color selection, assist in obtaining sample paints, and walk you through the Sherwin Williams color visualizer. We also are flexible in our communication with you, we’ll text, email or call based on your preference.

For me, the most rewarding aspect of owning a Fresh Coat franchise is meeting wonderful clients, listening to their needs and sharing the delight of the final outcome of the projects. Through my contractor work with Fresh Coat North Austin, I have had the opportunity to drive into and experience the wide variety of neighborhoods in the North Austin metropolitan area including Cedar Park, Round Rock, and Leander. Each neighborhood, whether urban or rural, is as unique as the people and families who live there.

I am a member of the Cedar Park Chamber of Commerce, the Austin Executive Leadership Council, the Better Business Bureau and the local chapter of Business Networking International (BNI), which has allowed me to meet leaders in the community, active contributors and other business owners. As a 100% woman owned and managed business, I enjoy supporting the local community and have sponsored various local organizations and events including the Cedar Park Library Fable Fest, The Cedar Park Regional Medical Center’s Women’s Health & Spa Day, the Reagan Elementary PTA Carnival, the Austin Children’s Academy Family Fun Day and the Home, Health & Wealth Expo benefiting the Williamson County YMCA. I’m looking forward to continuing to be involved in the Austin community as our business continues to grow while serving the needs of clients.
