Your Home Protected Year After Year

You’re tired of watching your exterior paint crack, fade, and peel after just a few Colorado seasons. That’s not normal wear and tear—that’s the wrong paint job for our climate.

When your exterior painting is done right, you get years of protection instead of annual touch-ups. Your home’s value stays strong, your curb appeal stays sharp, and you stop worrying about weather damage eating away at your investment.

The difference is in understanding what Colorado weather actually does to exterior surfaces. We’re talking about UV exposure that breaks down cheap coatings, temperature swings that cause expansion and contraction, and moisture that finds every weak spot in subpar prep work.

How We Handle Your Exterior Project

Your exterior painting project starts with a thorough assessment of your home’s current condition and exposure factors. We identify problem areas, evaluate surface materials, and determine the right coating system for your specific situation.

Surface preparation comes next, and this is where most painting projects succeed or fail. We handle everything from pressure washing and scraping to primer application and caulking. Every surface gets properly prepared before any finish coating goes on.

The painting phase uses weather-resistant coatings applied in optimal conditions. We monitor weather patterns, work around Colorado’s unpredictable climate, and ensure proper curing time between coats. Your project gets completed right the first time, with cleanup that leaves your property better than we found it.

How long does exterior paint last in Colorado weather conditions?

Quality exterior paint properly applied should last 7-10 years in Colorado, but this depends heavily on surface preparation, paint quality, and your home’s exposure. South-facing surfaces get more UV damage, while north sides deal with moisture issues. Cheap paint jobs might start failing in 2-3 years, especially if the prep work was rushed. We use weather-resistant coatings designed for Colorado’s temperature extremes and UV exposure, which is why our work lasts longer than standard paint applications.
Late spring through early fall gives us the most reliable weather windows, but we can work year-round when conditions allow. The key is avoiding painting when temperatures drop below 50 degrees or when moisture levels are too high. Colorado weather changes fast, so we monitor forecasts closely and plan projects around weather patterns. Spring and fall often provide the most stable conditions, but summer work is possible with proper scheduling around afternoon storms and extreme heat.
Surface preparation starts with pressure washing to remove dirt, chalk, and loose paint. We scrape and sand any areas where paint is peeling or failing, then check for wood rot, cracks, or other damage that needs repair. All surfaces get properly primed, especially bare wood or metal. Caulking goes in around windows, doors, and trim to seal gaps. This prep work takes time, but it’s what makes the difference between paint that lasts and paint that fails within a few years.
Most existing paint can be painted over if it’s in good condition and properly prepared. We test for lead paint on older homes and handle removal safely when necessary. Peeling, chalking, or failing paint needs to be removed down to a sound surface. Sometimes we can spot-prime problem areas and paint over the rest, but other times complete removal is the only way to get lasting results. We evaluate each surface individually and recommend the approach that gives you the best long-term value.
Colorado exterior painting requires paints formulated for UV resistance, temperature flexibility, and moisture protection. We typically use 100% acrylic latex paints with high-quality resins that won’t break down under UV exposure. The paint needs to expand and contract with temperature changes without cracking or peeling. Cheaper paints use fillers and lower-grade resins that fail quickly in our climate. We select specific paint systems based on your home’s surface materials and exposure conditions.
Exterior painting costs depend on your home’s size, surface condition, and the prep work required. Most residential projects range from $3,000 to $8,000, but homes needing extensive prep work or specialty coatings cost more. We provide detailed written estimates that break down labor, materials, and prep work so you understand exactly what you’re paying for. The investment pays for itself through increased home value and avoiding the cost of frequent repainting that comes with cheaper paint jobs.
