Professional House Exterior Painting

Your Home Protected and Beautiful

You know what it’s like when exterior paint starts failing. First come the small chips around the trim. Then the fading on the south-facing walls where the sun hits hardest. Before long, you’re looking at peeling sections and wondering how a paint job that cost thousands could look this rough after just a few years.

That’s what happens when corners get cut. When painters skip proper prep work or use paint that can’t handle Colorado’s temperature swings. When they rush through surface preparation because they’re already onto the next job in their head.

Quality exterior painting means your home looks sharp and stays protected. It means paint that bonds properly to your siding, stucco, or trim because the surface was cleaned and prepped right. It means choosing coatings designed for UV exposure and temperature changes that would make other paints crack and peel. Most importantly, it means you’re not dealing with this headache again in two or three years.

How We Handle Your Project

First, we assess your home’s current condition and discuss your goals. This isn’t a quick walk-around – we’re looking at surface preparation needs, identifying any issues that could affect paint adhesion, and understanding which areas get the most weather exposure.

Next comes the detailed preparation work that separates lasting paint jobs from the ones that fail early. We clean surfaces properly, scrape and sand where needed, prime bare wood or metal, and protect your landscaping and property. This phase takes time, but it’s what makes everything else work.

The painting itself follows proven application techniques using quality exterior coatings chosen for Colorado conditions. We pay attention to weather windows, apply proper coat thickness, and maintain wet edges for even coverage. Each surface gets the attention it needs whether it’s wood siding, stucco, or metal trim.

How long does exterior paint last in Colorado weather?

Quality exterior paint applied properly should last 7-10 years in Colorado, sometimes longer depending on exposure and maintenance. The key factors are surface preparation, paint quality, and application technique. Cheaper paints or rushed prep work might start showing problems in 2-3 years, especially on south and west-facing surfaces that get intense UV exposure. We use exterior coatings designed for Colorado’s climate – they cost more upfront but save money over time by lasting longer and maintaining their appearance better.
Late spring through early fall offers the best conditions for exterior painting in Colorado. We need temperatures above 50 degrees and low humidity for proper paint curing. Summer can work well, but we avoid painting in direct sunlight during the hottest part of the day – it causes paint to dry too quickly and can affect the finish quality. We also watch weather forecasts carefully to avoid rain within 24 hours of application. If you’re planning exterior painting, booking in early spring gives you the best chance of getting your preferred timing.
Yes, we handle wood siding, vinyl, fiber cement, stucco, and metal surfaces. Each material requires different preparation and application techniques. Stucco needs special attention to texture and porosity – we use primers and paints designed specifically for masonry surfaces. Wood siding requires careful inspection for rot or damage before painting. Metal surfaces need proper cleaning and priming to prevent rust. The key is matching the right products and techniques to each surface type, which comes from experience with Colorado homes.
We cover plants, outdoor furniture, and walkways with plastic sheeting and drop cloths before any prep work begins. Delicate plants get extra protection, and we remove coverings daily so plants can breathe. We’re careful with overspray when using sprayers, often hand-brushing areas near valuable landscaping. Any paint drips or spills get cleaned up immediately – it’s much easier than trying to remove dried paint later. We also coordinate with homeowners about moving vehicles, patio furniture, or other items that might be in the work area.
Weather delays are part of exterior painting in Colorado, and we plan for them. We monitor forecasts closely and won’t apply paint if rain, snow, or extreme temperatures are expected within the curing period. If we’re partway through a project and weather moves in, we secure all materials and protect any prepared surfaces. We communicate with homeowners about delays and reschedule as soon as conditions improve. It’s better to wait for proper conditions than rush and compromise the paint job’s durability.
Exterior painting costs depend on your home’s size, surface condition, and paint quality chosen. Most homes in Giddings range from $8,000 to $15,000 for complete exterior painting, but we provide detailed written estimates after assessing your specific project. Factors affecting price include amount of prep work needed, number of colors, surface types, and accessibility. We’re not the cheapest option – quality surface preparation and premium exterior coatings cost more upfront but save money long-term through better durability and fewer repaints.
