Our Exterior Painting Process

How We Handle Your Project

First, we assess your exterior surfaces and identify any issues that need addressing before paint touches anything. Loose siding, caulk gaps, surface damage – we catch it all upfront so there are no surprises later.

Next comes thorough surface preparation. This means power washing, scraping old paint, sanding rough spots, and priming properly. Most paint failures happen because someone skipped or rushed this step. We don’t.

Then we apply your chosen paint system using techniques that ensure even coverage and proper adhesion. We protect your landscaping, keep the work area clean, and handle all the details that separate professional results from amateur attempts.

Finally, we walk through everything with you to make sure it meets your expectations. You’ll know exactly what was done and how to maintain your new exterior finish for maximum longevity.

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

Late spring through early fall typically offers the most consistent weather for exterior painting in Colorado. We need temperatures above 50 degrees and low humidity for proper paint curing. Summer can work well, but we often start early in the morning to avoid the intense afternoon heat that can cause paint to dry too quickly. We monitor weather forecasts closely and won’t start work if rain or extreme temperature swings are predicted within the curing window. The key is patience – rushing a paint job because of weather usually leads to problems down the road.
With proper surface preparation and quality paint systems, you should expect 8-12 years from a professional exterior paint job in Colorado. However, this depends heavily on your home’s exposure, the condition of the surfaces when painted, and the specific products used. South and west-facing surfaces take more UV punishment and may need attention sooner. Cheap paint or poor prep work can cut this timespan in half. We use paint systems specifically formulated for high-altitude UV exposure and temperature extremes, which significantly extends the life of your paint job compared to standard residential paints.
Yes, we help homeowners choose colors that work well with their home’s architecture and neighborhood while considering practical factors like heat absorption and fade resistance. Some colors perform better than others in Colorado’s intense sunlight. Very dark colors can get extremely hot and may not be the best choice for certain exposures. We can provide color samples and help you visualize how different options will look on your specific home. We also consider any HOA requirements or neighborhood standards that might influence your color choices.
Surface preparation is where most paint jobs succeed or fail, so we take this seriously. We start with pressure washing to remove dirt, chalky paint, and mildew. Then we scrape any loose or peeling paint, sand rough areas, and fill holes or gaps with appropriate fillers. Bare wood gets primed with a high-quality primer designed for exterior use. We also inspect and repair any caulking around windows, doors, and trim joints. This prep work takes time, but it’s what makes the difference between a paint job that lasts and one that starts failing within a couple of years.
Absolutely. Stucco painting requires specific techniques and paint types to handle the textured surface properly. We use high-quality acrylic paints that can bridge small cracks and provide good coverage over stucco’s uneven texture. The key is using the right roller naps and application techniques to ensure paint gets into all the crevices without leaving lap marks or thin spots. We also inspect stucco for any cracks or damage that should be repaired before painting, since paint alone won’t fix structural issues with the stucco itself.
Weather delays are part of exterior painting in Colorado, and we plan for them from the start. We monitor forecasts constantly and won’t apply paint if conditions aren’t right for proper curing. If rain or extreme temperatures interrupt the project, we secure any prep work and materials until conditions improve. We communicate with you throughout any delays and adjust timelines as needed. It’s better to wait for good conditions than to rush and compromise the quality of your paint job. Most homeowners appreciate this approach once they understand how weather affects paint performance and longevity.
