Professional House Exterior Painting

Your Home Protected and Looking Sharp

You know how Colorado weather beats up exterior paint. The intense UV at altitude, temperature swings from 20 below to 90 above, surprise hailstorms, and bone-dry air that cracks everything.

Most paint jobs around here start looking rough after two years. Fading, chalking, peeling at the edges where moisture gets in. You end up repainting every few years or living with a house that looks tired.

Quality exterior painting changes that cycle completely. The right prep work, weather-resistant coatings, and proper application techniques mean your paint job actually lasts. Your home looks sharp, stays protected, and you’re not calling painters every other summer. That’s what exterior painting should do in Old Roach, CO.

How We Handle Your Exterior Paint Job

Every exterior painting project starts with a thorough surface inspection. We check for existing paint adhesion, moisture damage, caulking issues, and any repairs needed before paint goes on.

Surface preparation comes next and this step makes or breaks the entire job. Power washing, scraping loose paint, sanding rough areas, priming bare wood or metal, and caulking gaps where moisture could penetrate. Most paint failures happen because someone skipped proper prep work.

Paint application uses weather-resistant coatings applied in proper conditions. We don’t paint in direct afternoon sun, high winds, or when moisture levels are wrong. The paint needs optimal conditions to cure properly and create that durable finish that lasts in Colorado weather.

Final inspection covers every surface, cleanup removes all materials and debris, and you get a paint job that’s ready to handle whatever weather comes next.

What's Included in Professional Exterior Painting

Complete exterior painting covers all surfaces that need protection from weather. Wood siding, fiber cement, stucco, trim work, doors, window frames, and any exterior metal components.

Surface-specific preparation addresses each material properly. Wood siding gets different prep than stucco or metal. We handle repairs, priming, and coating selection based on what you actually have, not a one-size-fits-all approach.

Quality materials matter in Colorado’s climate. We use exterior paints and primers designed for high UV exposure, temperature extremes, and moisture cycling. The paint brands we choose have proven track records in mountain communities like Old Roach where weather conditions are demanding.

Project management keeps everything on schedule and your property protected during the work. Drop cloths, careful masking, daily cleanup, and clear communication about timeline and progress.

How long does exterior paint last in Colorado mountain weather?

Quality exterior paint with proper preparation typically lasts 8-12 years in Colorado mountain conditions, compared to 3-5 years for basic paint jobs. The key factors are surface prep, primer selection, and using paints formulated for high UV exposure and temperature swings. Cheaper paints or inadequate prep work will fail much sooner due to our intense altitude sun, dry air, and extreme temperature changes. Investing in quality materials and professional application extends the life significantly, saving money long-term by avoiding frequent repainting.
Late spring through early fall offers the best conditions for exterior painting in Old Roach, typically May through September. You need temperatures above 50 degrees, low humidity, and no precipitation for 24-48 hours after application. Summer afternoon temperatures can get too hot for optimal paint application, so morning and evening work often produces better results. We avoid painting during high wind conditions common in mountain areas, as dust and debris can contaminate wet paint surfaces. Weather windows can be unpredictable, so flexibility in scheduling helps ensure proper curing conditions.
Yes, we provide color consultation focused on what works well in mountain environments and community aesthetics. Certain colors fade faster at high altitude due to intense UV exposure, while others maintain their appearance longer. We consider your home’s architecture, surrounding landscape, and HOA requirements if applicable. Earth tones and colors with good UV stability typically perform best in Colorado mountain settings. We can show you examples of how different colors have held up on similar homes in the area and help you choose options that will look good for years.
We use heavy-duty drop cloths, plastic sheeting, and careful masking to protect all landscaping, walkways, and outdoor features. Plants near the house get covered before any prep work begins, including power washing and scraping. We’re especially careful with established landscaping that’s expensive to replace. Any overspray or paint drips get cleaned up immediately using appropriate solvents that won’t damage plants or soil. Our cleanup process includes removing all materials, checking for any missed spots, and ensuring your landscaping looks exactly as it did before we started the project.
We monitor weather forecasts closely and plan work around predicted conditions. If unexpected weather hits during the project, we secure all surfaces and materials to prevent damage. Partially completed areas get protected with tarps or temporary coverings as needed. We don’t apply paint when conditions aren’t right, even if it means schedule delays, because poor weather application leads to paint failure later. Most projects include some weather contingency time, and we communicate any delays immediately. Your surfaces stay protected and the project resumes when conditions allow proper application and curing.
Exterior painting costs depend on house size, surface conditions, prep work required, and paint quality selected. Most homes in Old Roach range from $8,000-$25,000 for complete exterior painting, with larger or more complex homes potentially higher. Factors affecting price include amount of scraping needed, number of coats required, accessibility challenges, and specific surface types like stucco or cedar siding. We provide detailed written estimates breaking down labor, materials, and prep work so you understand exactly what’s included. Quality exterior painting costs more upfront but saves money long-term by lasting longer and requiring less frequent repainting.
