Our Meticulous Exterior Painting Process

A lasting exterior paint job is 80% preparation. Our process is designed to ensure your new paint looks beautiful and protects your home for years to come.

1.The Wash & Prep: We begin with a thorough power wash to remove all dirt, mildew, and loose paint. We then scrape and sand any remaining peeling areas to create a smooth, stable surface for the new paint to adhere to.

2.The Repairs & Caulking: We inspect all siding and trim, repairing or replacing any damaged wood. We then caulk all cracks and seams to create a weatherproof seal, protecting your home from moisture intrusion.

3.The Masking & Priming: We carefully mask all windows, doors, and fixtures, and cover your landscaping to protect them from paint. We apply a high-quality primer to any bare wood or repaired areas to ensure a uniform and durable final coat.

4.The Painting: We apply premium exterior paint, chosen specifically for the Colorado climate, using a combination of spraying and brushing to ensure complete and even coverage. Our skilled team focuses on creating sharp lines and a flawless finish.

5.The Cleanup & Final Walkthrough: We conduct a thorough cleanup, removing all masking materials and leaving your property pristine. We then perform a final walkthrough with you to ensure you are 100% satisfied with the result.

Frequently Asked Questions About Exterior Painting

How long does an exterior painting project take?

An average-sized home typically takes 3-5 days, depending heavily on the weather and the amount of prep work required. We will provide a detailed project timeline before we begin.

What time of year is best for exterior painting in Colorado?

The ideal season is from late spring to early fall (typically May through October) when temperatures are consistently above 50°F and there is low humidity. We monitor the weather closely to ensure we only paint in optimal conditions.

How long will my new exterior paint job last?

A professionally applied paint job using high-quality materials should last 7-10 years in Colorado. The longevity depends on the quality of the prep work, the type of paint used, and the amount of direct sun exposure your home receives.

What kind of paint do you use for exteriors?

We use premium, 100% acrylic latex paints from trusted brands like Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore. These paints are specifically formulated to withstand the UV radiation, temperature swings, and moisture of the Colorado climate, providing excellent color retention and durability.

Do I need to be home during an exterior paint job?

No. Since we are working entirely on the outside of your home, there is no need for you to be there. As long as we have access to the exterior and any gates or fenced areas are unlocked, our team can complete the full project without disrupting your day. The only exception being when we need to paint your doors, we will need to open them. We are fully insured, and we treat every property with the same care and respect we would want for our own homes. You will receive daily updates so you can see exactly where we are in the process…from anywhere.

Why Homeowners in Colorado Springs Choose to Paint Now

Colorado’s climate is harder on exterior paint than most people realize. The intense UV at altitude fades color faster than at sea level. The freeze-thaw cycles crack caulk and cause paint to peel. And hailstorms leave micro-abrasions that let moisture in. Most homes in our area need a fresh coat every 7-10 years…not just for looks, but to protect the wood and siding underneath.

If your paint is starting to fade, chalk, or crack, waiting another season typically means more prep work and a higher cost when you do repaint. The best time to act is before the damage gets ahead of you.
