Colorado Sunshine Causes Four Painting Problems: Fading

Get a free quote

As a Colorado property owner you know that owning and maintaining a business or home takes work and constant upkeep. Colorado is incredibly beautiful but it also has a distinctly different climate than many states. This is important to take into consideration when caring for your property. Colorado is at a higher elevation, which means we are closer to the sun and more vulnerable to ultraviolet radiation. Colorado has fewer overcast days than most states. Even when it is cloudy the sun’s powerful rays can burn your skin. You probably have noticed that sunscreen is less of an option and more of a requirement in Colorado. If your skin is more vulnerable here, than think of how vulnerable constantly exposed exterior paint is if not properly applied and reapplied. Paint is your properties exoskeleton, the first line of defense against the elements. The powerful rays of the sun can cause fading, chalking, blistering and peeling paint so it is important to check the state of your property and make sure you are reapplying when necessary.

Fading Paint Before After

Fading

Ultraviolet rays from the sun cause the chemical bonds in paint to degrade which will bleach out and fade the color. If one side of your property is constantly in the sun it will change color faster than the other sides and become very noticeable. Faded paint is a sign that the property is in jeopardy of being exposed. A dreary exterior is also uninviting to visitors or potential customers. Faded paint will also make a building’s exterior more vulnerable to other weather like wind and rain.Sometimes if the whole building has faded it can be difficult to even tell, until you try to touch up a few spots and find the touch up paint doesn’t match anymore.

We all love Colorado sunshine and wouldn’t ask for the weather to be any other way. With Colorado Commercial and Residential Painting, you don’t have to. Let us preserve your property today so no one gets burned.

Trevor Z Marshall

Owner & Managing Member at Colorado Commercial & Residential Painting

Originally from Texas, I’m now thrilled to call Colorado home! Life at our house is full of energy, with four kids, a dog, a cat, and a rotating cast of fish (turns out they’re not the easiest pets to keep alive). Thankfully, my wife Erin and I somehow manage to stay afloat. I’m a proud graduate of Vanderbilt University and have been fortunate to live and work across the country, gaining valuable experiences along the way. When I’m not working, I enjoy making the most of Colorado’s beautiful outdoors, catching up with friends and family, following sports, especially European football, and exploring Boulder’s fantastic craft beer scene. I’m passionate about supporting our team members, whom we proudly refer to as Partners, in delivering top-tier customer service and achieving outstanding results. Looking forward to the opportunity to work together!

The quoting process was prompt, professional, and with clear communication. In addition to painting the entire home exterior, we had exterior trim that needed replaced, and we even included a custom solid wood front door that needed careful attention to sand, stain, and reseal. Our sales rep (Eric) was a pleasure to work with and helped us through the up front analysis and evaluation of options to choose from.Painting Process:Communication and attention to detail was extraordinary!
