Professional wood finishing designed for Colorado’s brutal weather extremes and high-altitude challenges.
Hear from Our Customers
Your wood surfaces face a beating up here. Intense UV rays that would make lower elevations jealous. Temperature swings that crack lesser finishes like eggshells. Snow that sits for months, then melts into every grain and crevice.
You need more than standard wood finishing. You need finishes that understand what Colorado throws at them.
When we’re done, your wood doesn’t just look better—it’s actually protected. The finish penetrates deep, creating a barrier that flexes with temperature changes instead of cracking. UV blockers keep that rich wood tone from fading to gray. Moisture protection stops rot before it starts.
Your deck stays solid. Your siding keeps its character. Your investment holds its value. And you’re not out here every other year trying to fix what failed.
L F Rosa Painting has been protecting wood surfaces in Colorado’s mountain communities long enough to know what works and what doesn’t. We’ve seen every type of finish failure this climate can dish out.
Most contractors treat wood finishing like it’s the same everywhere. It’s not. What works in Denver fails at altitude. What works in summer cracks in winter.
We use products specifically chosen for high-altitude conditions and application techniques that account for Colorado’s unique challenges. Your wood gets the protection it actually needs, not just what looks good in the short term.
First, we assess your wood’s current condition and exposure level. Different surfaces need different approaches. A south-facing deck gets hammered differently than north-facing siding.
Surface preparation is where most jobs succeed or fail. We strip old, failing finishes completely. Sand to the right grit for optimal adhesion. Clean away every speck of dust and debris. If the surface isn’t right, the best finish in the world won’t stick.
Product selection comes next. We match the finish to your specific wood type, exposure level, and aesthetic goals. Some situations need penetrating stains. Others require film-forming finishes. We know which is which.
Application happens when conditions are right—not when it’s convenient. Temperature, humidity, and weather forecasts all matter. We apply in thin, even coats that penetrate properly and cure completely.

Our wood finishing services cover everything from initial staining to complete restoration. We handle decks, siding, trim, fences, and specialty wood features like pergolas and railings.
Surface preparation includes power washing, sanding, scraping, and wood repair as needed. We’re not just applying finish over problems—we’re fixing them first. Loose boards get secured. Damaged wood gets replaced. Gaps get sealed.
Finish options range from transparent sealers that showcase natural grain to solid stains that provide maximum protection and color consistency. We’ll walk you through the trade-offs so you can make the right choice for your situation.
Weather protection is built into every job. We use products with UV blockers, mildew resistance, and flexibility to handle temperature swings. Your finish is designed to last in conditions that destroy standard products.
