The Best Denver Painting Contractors Since 1983!

We are happy to follow your own desired sequencing, but honestly painting is considered a finished trade, and painters should be the last contractors in. Flooring installations, in our experience, cause more damage to fresh paint, especially along floorboards, and often require a lot of touch ups which your flooring contractor will not complete. Part of our everyday process is to protect your floor and surrounding areas from any paint and we would handle your new flooring with that same attention to detail.

Typically, we like to work from the top to the bottom. If you are getting a full repaint, we would start on the top floor and work our way down to the basement. Ceilings usually get painted first, then trim, followed by the walls. However, sequencing is handled per job and we are happy to work with you on what sequencing works best. This can be discussed prior to your job start but is typically done the day of your job kick off.

We ask that you move all furniture away from the walls and gather them as tightly together in the middle so that we can cover and protect them. If you start to move your furniture and notice a bit of dust build up along floorboards, trim or along the walls go ahead and wipe those down for us. That being said, don’t stress about having a squeaky clean house, just do your best to help us out when you see an opportunity.

Yes. We ask that you take everything off your walls prior to us arriving on site. You can leave the hook or nail if you plan to hang items back in their original spot. Remove hooks if you want us to fill the hole and paint over it.

Yes, everything should be removed from the areas that we are painting. If you need assistance, let us know so we can plan accordingly. We are happy to help for a nominal fee.

Yes, paint and food are not a good combination. We ask that you remove everything and gather it together so that we can protect it using drop clothes and plastic.

If you are doing a color change then the switch plate covers should be removed. Luckily, this is part of our process and we will complete that for you.

We typically tape and mask around existing hardware. If you are replacing the hardware, then we can remove the existing for you.

We try not to be intrusive but there’s no way around it. Your home will become a construction site and there will be a disruption to your life while we are in there. With that in mind you are always welcome to use your kitchen as needed.

We broom clean and wipe down surfaces when we are done, however paint particulates and dust that are in the air from the project will continue to settle for a couple days...in particular, you may notice on horizontal surfaces like floors, countertops, handrails, tables, toilets etc. While we try out best to leave your home as clean as we can, after any size interior project you will likely need to wipe down or vacuum additional areas.

There are certain temperature restrictions and guidelines we must follow to ensure the paint cures properly. Being in Denver we know there is crazy weather sometimes. The general rule of thumb is that it needs to be above 40 degrees outside with overnight temps above freezing. The typical paint season here in Denver, Colorado runs from Spring through Fall pending appropriate weather. This is the best time to get your home’s exterior painted.

We didn't make it 40 years as a Denver painting company without creating systems and processes that allow us to minimize the impact on you and maximize efficiencies for us while at your home. In fact, our owner has four children and a dog at home, so we get it and don't want to cause any additional inconvenience for you. While we always maintain a strict focus on safety, you and your family will have full access to your home and yard throughout the project, with as minimal impact as possible. Simply stated, a standard home in the metro Denver area will take between 2-5 days, depending on the size and scope of the project.

We protect all bushes, shrubbery, concrete patios, walkways, windows and roof lines as much as possible using tarps and plastic! However, in order to safely paint your home, we will need full access to all areas around the house. We are a Denver painting company you can trust with your exterior!

As you consider paint colors for your home’s exterior, stick with what you know and love! Your home is your largest investment and by choosing colors that look good and last longer you’re going to be doing more than just protecting your house, your increasing its value and stretching your dollar in this crazy Denver housing market!

Here’s a few things to consider:

Take into account the existing elements of your Denver home and think about working with the underlying colors within that material.- i.e. your roof, brick, walkways, patios, landscaping and shrubbery.
Decide what color tone you want. Do you want something light and bright, mid-tone, or dark for the body of your house? This is the easy part as most of us have some sort of vision that leans light or dark, colorful or neutral.

Head to your nearest Denver paint store like Sherwin Williams, Home Depot or Guirys to check out their wall of paint chips. Grab a few samples of colors that really stick out to you and paint them up on the home in several areas so you can see how they look. Paint can often look different depending on the amount of light that hits it.

Remember most homes showcase 2-3 colors. One for the body, the second for the trim and a third for an accent (think front door or shutters)
