Exterior Painting in Columbine, Colorado
A full repaint of body, trim, fascia, soffit, shutters and doors, built around prep that survives Colorado sun, wind and freeze-thaw. Columbine is part of the Denver Metro we serve. We've been painting Denver Metro homes since 2015 and have completed more than 10,000 of them.
What Columbine homes are actually made of
Columbine housing stock is 1960s through 1980s, and it is mostly ranches, tri-levels and two-stories on established, tree-covered lots. The exteriors we meet here are cedar lap and shake, brick fronts with painted trim and hardboard lap, and each of those wants a different prep and a different product.
Original 1970s cedar under decades of paint. Most exteriors here need spot replacement and a bonding primer before the finish coats.
Geographically, Columbine sits west of Wadsworth between Coal Mine and Ken Caryl Avenue, in Jefferson County.
Signs your Columbine home is due
A full repaint of body, trim, fascia, soffit, shutters and doors, built around prep that survives Colorado sun, wind and freeze-thaw.
- Chalky residue on your hand when you wipe the south or west wall
- Paint curling or peeling at lap edges, corners and the bottom of siding boards
- Soft or crumbling fascia, trim ends, or window sills
- Failed caulk lines and open gaps around windows and doors
How we prep exterior painting here
Anyone can put color on a wall. How well it holds up comes down to the prep before the first coat.
- Pressure wash the entire envelope and let it dry fully before anything is coated
- Scrape and sand all loose and failing paint back to a sound edge, then feather it out
- Replace rotted trim, fascia and siding boards rather than caulking over them
- Spot-prime every bare surface and re-caulk every joint before the finish goes on
What we put on the house
We specify per surface, not one product for the whole property. On Columbine's cedar lap and shake and brick fronts with painted trim, that matters.
- Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore exterior paints, chosen for the surface
- Elastomeric or masonry coatings on stucco where hairline cracking is present
- Exterior waterborne enamel on doors and shutters so they do not block shut in summer
- Bonding and stain-blocking primers on bare wood, tannin-rich cedar and chalked substrate
What cheap exterior painting looks like two years later
If you are comparing bids and one is dramatically lower, this is usually where the money came out.
- Spraying over dirt and chalk, which means the new coat is only stuck to the old failure
- Caulk smeared over rot so the damage keeps spreading behind a good-looking wall
- Thin single-coat spray with no back-roll, which leaves half the mil thickness it should
- Painting late in the fall below the product's minimum cure temperature

What drives the price

- Substrate and condition: sound stucco is quicker than 1970s cedar that needs scraping
- Amount of carpentry and rot repair found during prep
- Stories and access: steep lots, walk-outs and tight side yards add staging
- Body-only versus body, trim, fascia, soffit, shutters and doors
