We Know Colorado Weather

L F Rosa Painting understands what works in Colorado and what doesn’t. We’ve been painting homes in Fort Collins and Horsetooth Heights long enough to see what happens when corners get cut.

We’re not the crew that shows up, slaps on some paint, and disappears. We’re the team that takes time to prep surfaces properly because we know Colorado weather will find every shortcut.

You’ll work with painters who understand that your home is your biggest investment. We treat it that way.

Our Exterior Painting Process

No Surprises, Just Results

First, we walk your property together and discuss exactly what needs attention. You’ll get a detailed estimate that breaks down materials, labor, and timeline so you know what to expect.

Next comes the prep work that separates good paint jobs from great ones. We pressure wash, scrape, sand, and prime every surface that needs it. This isn’t the fun part, but it’s where paint jobs succeed or fail.

Then we apply your chosen paint using techniques designed for Colorado’s climate. We protect your landscaping, clean up daily, and keep you updated on progress. When we’re done, you’ll have an exterior that’s ready for whatever weather comes next.

Everything Your Exterior Needs

Your exterior painting project includes thorough surface preparation, premium paint application, and complete cleanup. We handle siding painting, stucco painting, trim work, and any other exterior surfaces that need attention.

We use paint products specifically chosen for Colorado’s high-altitude conditions. That means better UV protection, superior adhesion, and colors that won’t fade after one brutal summer.

You’ll also get our attention to the details that matter in Horsetooth Heights. We understand the architectural styles in your neighborhood and how to enhance them properly. Every project includes protecting your landscaping and leaving your property cleaner than we found it.

How long does exterior painting last in Colorado's climate?

Quality exterior paint should last 7-10 years in Colorado when applied properly. The key factors are thorough surface preparation, using paint designed for high-altitude UV exposure, and proper application techniques. Cheaper paint jobs might look fine initially but often start failing within 3-4 years due to inadequate prep work or inferior materials. Colorado’s intense sun, temperature swings, and occasional hail create challenging conditions that require professional-grade products and application methods.

What's the best time of year for exterior painting?

Late spring through early fall offers the best conditions for exterior painting in Colorado. We typically schedule projects from May through September when temperatures are consistently above 50 degrees and humidity levels are manageable. Summer can be ideal, but we avoid painting during the hottest parts of the day when temperatures exceed 85 degrees, as this can cause paint to dry too quickly and affect adhesion. We also monitor weather forecasts carefully to avoid painting before rain or snow.

How do you protect landscaping during the painting process?

We take extensive precautions to protect your landscaping and outdoor living spaces. Before any work begins, we cover plants, flowers, and shrubs with protective plastic sheeting. We use drop cloths on walkways, patios, and driveways to prevent paint drips and overspray. Our team is trained to work carefully around mature trees and established garden beds. We also clean up daily and remove all protective coverings and materials when the project is complete, leaving your landscaping in the same condition we found it.

Do you handle both siding and stucco painting?

Yes, we specialize in both siding painting and stucco painting, which are common in Horsetooth Heights homes. Each surface requires different preparation and application techniques. For siding, we focus on proper cleaning, scraping, and priming of any bare wood or damaged areas. Stucco requires careful attention to cracks, texture matching, and using paints that allow the surface to breathe properly. We’ve worked with all the common exterior materials in your neighborhood and understand how to achieve lasting results on each surface type.

How do you handle color selection and matching?

We help you choose colors that work well with your home’s architecture and Colorado’s intense sunlight. We can provide color consultations and show you how different shades will look on your specific exterior materials. If you’re matching existing colors, we can color-match from samples or work with you to select complementary shades. We also consider HOA requirements if applicable and can advise on colors that will maintain their appearance longer in our high-altitude environment with intense UV exposure.

What happens if weather delays the painting project?

Weather delays are part of exterior painting in Colorado, and we plan for them. We monitor forecasts closely and will pause work if rain, snow, or extreme temperatures are expected. We’ll communicate with you immediately about any delays and provide updated timelines. Our contracts account for reasonable weather delays, so you won’t face additional charges for circumstances beyond our control. We’d rather wait for proper conditions than rush a job and compromise the quality of your paint job.
