Professional Exterior Painters Kerns

Your Home Protected Year After Year

You know the drill. The last painter promised their work would hold up, and two years later you’re watching paint peel off in sheets after another brutal Colorado winter.

Here’s what changes when exterior painting is done right. Your siding stops looking weathered and tired. Your home value jumps because buyers see quality work that won’t need redoing in three years. You stop worrying every time a hailstorm rolls through the mountains.

Most importantly, you get years of protection instead of years of touch-ups. When we handle your house exterior painting, we’re thinking about how your home looks five years from now, not just next month.

We Know Colorado Weather Isn't Forgiving

L F Rosa Painting has been protecting Kerns homes against Colorado’s climate challenges for years. We’ve seen what works and what fails when mountain weather puts exterior paint to the test.

Every project we take on gets the same approach: proper surface preparation, weather-appropriate materials, and application techniques that account for our elevation and temperature swings. We’re not the crew that shows up, slaps on some paint, and hopes for the best.

Your neighbors trust us because we understand that exterior painting in Colorado isn’t just about color. It’s about creating a barrier that stands up to UV exposure, moisture, and those temperature swings that can crack inferior paint jobs within months.

How We Handle Your Exterior Project

Every quality exterior painting job starts with honest assessment. We inspect your siding, stucco, or other surfaces to identify problem areas that need attention before any paint goes on. No shortcuts here.

Surface preparation takes up most of our time because it determines how long your paint job lasts. We clean, scrape, sand, and prime properly. Any damaged areas get repaired. Caulking gets refreshed around windows and trim. This phase isn’t glamorous, but it’s why our work holds up.

Paint application happens when weather conditions are right. We don’t rush because of deadlines if temperature or humidity isn’t cooperating. Colorado weather is unpredictable enough without adding poor application conditions to the mix. When we’re done, you get a finish that’s ready for whatever weather comes next.

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

Quality exterior paint properly applied should last 7-10 years in Colorado, though this depends on your home’s exposure and the materials used. Homes facing south or west get more UV damage and may need attention sooner. The key is using paint formulated for high-altitude UV exposure and temperature swings. Cheap paint or poor surface preparation can cut this timeframe in half. We select materials specifically rated for Colorado’s climate conditions, and our surface preparation ensures maximum adhesion and longevity.
Late spring through early fall offers the most consistent weather windows for exterior painting in Colorado. We need temperatures above 50 degrees and low humidity for proper paint curing. Summer can be ideal, but afternoon thunderstorms require flexible scheduling. We monitor weather forecasts closely and won’t start application if conditions aren’t right. Fall painting works well before temperatures drop, but we need to account for shorter daylight hours. Winter exterior painting is generally not recommended due to temperature and moisture concerns that prevent proper paint adhesion.
Surface preparation starts with thorough cleaning to remove dirt, mildew, and chalky residue that prevent paint adhesion. We scrape loose or peeling paint, sand rough areas smooth, and fill any cracks or holes in the surface. Caulking around windows, doors, and trim gets refreshed to prevent moisture infiltration. Any bare wood or metal gets primed before finish coats go on. This preparation phase typically takes longer than the actual painting, but it’s what determines whether your paint job lasts two years or ten years in Colorado’s challenging climate.
Yes, we work with all common exterior surfaces including wood siding, vinyl siding, fiber cement, stucco, and metal surfaces. Each material requires specific preparation techniques and compatible paint systems. Stucco painting involves different primers and application methods than siding painting. We assess your specific surface type and condition to determine the right approach. Some surfaces may need repairs before painting, and we handle those as part of the project. Our goal is ensuring whatever surface we’re painting gets the preparation and materials it needs for long-term performance.
Weather delays are common in Colorado, and we build flexibility into every project timeline. We won’t apply paint in poor conditions because it compromises the final result. If rain, snow, or temperature swings interrupt the schedule, we communicate with you immediately about revised timing. Most delays are short-term, but we’d rather wait for proper conditions than rush a job that won’t hold up. We monitor forecasts continuously during your project and make real-time decisions about when to proceed. Your project timeline includes buffer time for typical Colorado weather unpredictability.
Exterior painting costs depend on your home’s size, surface condition, and material requirements. Most Kerns area homes range from $8,000 to $20,000 for complete exterior painting, but we provide specific quotes after evaluating your project. Factors affecting price include surface preparation needs, paint quality selection, trim complexity, and accessibility challenges. We’re not the cheapest option, but we’re competitively priced for quality work that lasts. Investing in proper preparation and materials costs more upfront but saves money long-term by extending the time between repaints. We provide detailed written estimates breaking down all project components.
