Professional House Exterior Painting

Your Home Protected and Beautiful

You know what it’s like watching your exterior paint fade, crack, or peel after just a few Colorado seasons. The sun beats down all summer, then winter hits with freezing temperatures and potential hail damage.

Quality exterior painting changes that cycle completely. When the job is done right with proper surface prep and weather-resistant materials, your home stays protected for years. No more worrying about moisture getting behind failing paint or embarrassing curb appeal when neighbors walk by.

The difference shows immediately. Clean, even coverage that enhances your home’s best features. Colors that stay vibrant through seasons of UV exposure. Most importantly, a barrier that actually keeps Colorado weather from damaging your siding, stucco, or trim underneath.

How We Handle Your Paint Job

Every exterior painting project starts with a thorough inspection of your current surfaces. We identify areas where old paint is failing, check for moisture damage, and note any repairs needed before we even think about new paint.

Surface preparation takes up most of our time on site, and that’s intentional. Scraping loose paint, sanding rough areas, filling cracks, and priming bare surfaces properly. This step determines whether your new paint job lasts two years or ten years.

Application happens in ideal weather conditions using techniques that ensure even coverage and proper adhesion. We protect your landscaping, clean up daily, and don’t consider the job complete until you’re satisfied with every detail. Most exterior painting projects in Kelim take 3-5 days depending on home size and surface conditions.

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

Quality exterior paint jobs in Colorado typically last 7-10 years with proper surface preparation and high-grade materials. However, this varies significantly based on your home’s sun exposure, elevation, and the quality of prep work. Homes with south-facing exposure or at higher elevations may need repainting sooner, while well-prepared surfaces using premium paint systems can exceed 10 years. The key factors are thorough surface prep, using paint designed for UV resistance, and applying proper primer where needed. Cheap paint jobs often fail within 2-3 years because corners were cut during preparation.
Late spring through early fall offers the best conditions for exterior painting in Kelim, typically May through September. We need temperatures consistently above 50 degrees with low humidity and no rain in the forecast for 24-48 hours after application. Summer can be ideal, but we avoid painting in direct intense sunlight during peak heat hours as it causes paint to dry too quickly and can affect adhesion. Early fall is often perfect because temperatures are moderate and humidity is lower. Winter painting is possible on warmer days, but weather windows are unpredictable and limited.
Surface preparation starts with pressure washing to remove dirt, mildew, and loose debris, followed by thorough scraping of any peeling or flaking paint. We sand rough areas smooth and fill cracks or holes with appropriate exterior filler. Any bare wood or metal gets spot-primed before the topcoat application. Areas with heavy chalking or staining receive special primer treatment to ensure proper adhesion. This prep work takes 60-70% of the total project time, but it’s what separates paint jobs that last from those that fail prematurely. Skipping proper prep is the main reason exterior paint jobs fail within a few years.
Yes, we handle all common exterior surfaces including wood siding, vinyl, fiber cement, stucco, brick, and metal. Each material requires specific preparation techniques and compatible paint systems. Stucco needs careful inspection for cracks and proper primer selection to handle texture variations. Wood siding often requires more extensive prep work including scraping and sanding. Vinyl siding needs special paint formulated to expand and contract with temperature changes. We match our approach and materials to your specific surface types to ensure optimal adhesion and longevity regardless of what your home’s exterior is made from.
Our workmanship warranty covers paint failure due to application issues, but weather damage like hail or severe storms is typically handled through your homeowner’s insurance. However, properly applied exterior paint should withstand normal Colorado weather including UV exposure, temperature fluctuations, and typical precipitation. If you experience premature fading, peeling, or adhesion problems under normal conditions, we’ll evaluate the issue and address any workmanship-related causes. We also provide guidance on documenting storm damage for insurance claims and can work with your insurance adjuster if exterior paint repair is needed after severe weather events.
Exterior painting costs in Kelim typically range from $3-6 per square foot depending on your home’s condition, surface types, and paint quality selected. A typical 2,000 square foot home exterior runs $6,000-12,000 including materials and labor. Factors affecting price include amount of prep work needed, number of colors, architectural complexity, and paint grade chosen. Homes requiring extensive scraping, repair work, or multiple primer applications cost more than those in good condition needing only cleaning and repainting. We provide detailed written estimates breaking down labor, materials, and any additional services so you understand exactly what you’re paying for.
