Professional wood finishing that stands up to mountain weather and keeps your surfaces looking sharp year after year.
Hear from Our Customers
You know what happens to untreated wood in Colorado. The sun bleaches it gray. The snow and rain make it crack and splinter. Your deck starts looking like driftwood, and your fence becomes the neighborhood eyesore.
Professional wood finishing changes that story completely. Your surfaces get the protection they need to handle whatever Colorado throws at them. The color stays rich instead of fading to gray. The wood stays smooth instead of turning into a splinter factory.
This isn’t just about looks, though the results definitely speak for themselves. Properly finished wood lasts years longer, which means you’re not replacing boards or entire structures nearly as often. You’re investing in protection that actually works, applied by people who understand what wood needs to survive here.
L F Rosa Painting has been protecting wood surfaces throughout Kelim and the surrounding area, understanding exactly what Colorado’s climate does to wood and how to fight back against it.
We’ve seen every type of wood failure you can imagine. Decks that turned silver after one season because someone used the wrong sealer. Fences that started rotting at the base because moisture wasn’t properly blocked. Cabinet doors that warped because the finish couldn’t handle the dry air.
That experience matters when you’re choosing who handles your wood finishing project. We know which products actually work in this climate, how to prep surfaces so the finish bonds properly, and what application techniques give you results that last.
The process starts with honest assessment of what we’re working with. Some wood just needs cleaning and a fresh coat. Other surfaces require sanding, repairs, or complete stripping before we can apply new finish.
Surface preparation makes or breaks the entire project. We clean off dirt, mildew, and old finish that’s failing. Sand down rough spots and splinters. Fill gaps and cracks that could let moisture in. This step takes time, but it’s why our finishes actually stick and last.
The finishing itself involves multiple coats applied under the right conditions. Temperature and humidity matter. Wind matters. Timing between coats matters. We wait for optimal conditions and don’t rush the process, because shortcuts here mean you’re calling someone back in a year or two to fix what should have been done right the first time.

Our wood finishing services cover everything from deck restoration to cabinet refinishing. We handle exterior surfaces like fences, decks, and siding that take a beating from Colorado weather, plus interior woodwork that needs refreshing or protection.
Each project gets the right products for its specific situation. Exterior wood needs UV protection and water resistance. Interior pieces need finishes that won’t yellow or wear off from daily use. We match the protection to what your wood actually faces, not just grab whatever’s on sale.
You get detailed prep work, professional-grade materials, and application techniques that ensure even coverage and proper adhesion. The finish looks smooth and consistent, not patchy or streaky like DIY attempts often turn out. Most importantly, it performs the way it should, protecting your investment for years instead of months.
