Exterior Painting in Colorado Springs
Exterior painting for siding, trim, doors and more, with the scraping, patching and priming that help your home stand up to Colorado weather.
What Is Exterior Painting?
Exterior painting covers the outside surfaces of your home: siding, trim, fascia, soffits, doors, shutters and other painted features. It's a different job than painting indoors because those surfaces face sun, wind, snow and big temperature swings every day. The work usually starts with cleaning the surfaces and scraping away loose or peeling paint. Gaps get caulked, bare wood gets primed, and damaged spots get patched before any color goes on. From there, the finish coats are applied with products made for outdoor use. Done Wright Repair and Removal handles exterior painting along with related outdoor work like fence staining, so the outside of your property can look as good as the inside.
Why Is Exterior Painting Necessary?
Paint on the outside of a house does more than make it look nice. It's a protective layer that keeps moisture out of wood and slows down the wear that comes with weather. Along the Front Range, high-altitude sun breaks down paint faster, and dry air plus freeze and thaw cycles can lead to cracking and peeling. Once paint starts to fail, bare wood is exposed and problems can spread. That's why it pays to repaint when you notice fading, chalky residue, peeling or cracked caulk. Exterior painting is also one of the easiest ways to boost curb appeal before selling, to freshen up a home you just bought, or to give an older house a completely new look.
What Is Required For Exterior Painting?
An exterior paint job depends on a few things being in place. First, the weather has to cooperate, since paint needs dry surfaces and the right temperatures to cure properly. Next, the areas around your home need to be accessible, so it helps to move vehicles, patio furniture, grills and decorations away from the walls being painted, and to trim back plants that touch the siding. You'll also want to settle on colors for the body, the trim and any accent pieces like the front door or shutters. If you belong to an HOA, check whether your colors need approval before the work starts. Finally, damaged siding or rotten trim should be addressed first so the new paint goes on a solid surface.
