The Colorado Painting Company: FAQs

Any project that brings people and equipment into your living or working space will cause an unavoidable measure of disruption, but at The Colorado Painting Company we aim for as little as possible. From site protection of furniture, flooring, hardscaping, landscaping, and more, we ensure that your property is untouched and pristine. We work efficiently and plan ahead to minimize downtime and wrap things up in a timely manner. Once we have finished the repairs, prep work, and painting, we always do a walkthrough to ensure your satisfaction. Then we immediately begin the cleanup process, removing protective materials and any debris. We know that disruptions are never welcome, but once we are done and gone, we also know that the momentary upset will be so well worth it. If you have any special requests or considerations regarding your project, please contact us and let us know–we will try to accommodate anything we can.

Whether you need your home or business’s exterior brick surface painted, siding repaired, pressure washed, stucco repaired, decks and fences stained, or you need interior painting work and refinishing done, it is always a good bet to hire a reliable Colorado painting company to do the work. As painting pros we’ve spent years honing our skills and learning about the key characteristics of the surfaces we paint and the products we use to paint them. We’re certified paint nerds, and that knowledge pays off because with our training, research, and professional tools, equipment and techniques, we can provide you with a durable, high-quality finish that’s achieved efficiently and affordably.

We fully evaluate every surface we paint to ensure the best product pairings and the best techniques for the ultimate coverage and durability. You can trust that the finished product will withstand Colorado’s harsh environment–sun, swings in temperature and humidity, everything–and look great for years to come. It’s far easier and more affordable to work with a professional Denver painting company from the get go than to hire them later to correct mistakes or repair avoidable damage. Reduce stress and uncertainty and avoid potential injury or property damage–go with a pro from the start.

We employ painting contractors in Colorado, but our professional team is also trained to make light repairs where necessary to ensure good adhesion and a quality finish. When handling interior painting work, we often make drywall repairs to create a smooth surface to achieve a cohesive finish for paint to adhere well. Interior wood staining also often requires sanding, cleaning, and conditioning before applying a new coat of stain. If minor repairs are needed, we can handle that during preparatory steps. When it comes to painting baseboard, trim and moulding, we may need to patch damaged areas or replace a piece entirely.

When working with exterior surfaces, we may need to perform minor brick or mortar repairs prior to brick painting, or siding or stucco repair before applying paint to those surfaces. When painting or staining fences and decks, we are happy to secure loose boards, replace damaged or compromised boards, and ensure that your deck is safe prior to applying products. The only way to achieve a high-quality finish is to have a solid base to paint on, so we are skilled in making the minor repairs needed to achieve this. You won’t need to bring in a separate contractor unless the scope of the repair is far beyond what we are comfortable doing.

While some details will vary based on the work at hand, we have a fairly standard preparatory process that we do for each and every interior painting job. First of all, we protect your home or office by covering floors, furniture, fixtures and other surfaces. Then, to ensure the best finish possible, we take time to make any needed surface repairs and sand surfaces smooth. Next, we will properly prime all areas to be painted, caulk gaps and seams, and then finally apply paint in the color of your choice. Once dry, we do a thorough inspection to ensure a high-quality finish and your satisfaction, we clean up, and leave your space looking better than we found it.

Exterior painting can take in a wide range of surroundings and situations. We evaluate what is involved, and then we take care to cover and protect landscaping, hardscaping, and to ensure that our work is done safely–both for us and those using the property. Then we get to work, repairing damaged surfaces, priming all areas to be painted, caulking gaps and seams, sanding to a smooth finish, and then applying the correct grade of paint for your project, in your selected shade. Once everything is coated, we give a thorough once-over, ensure that you are happy, and get to cleaning up.

At The Colorado Painting Company we are inspired by nature and aim to conduct business while still respecting the environment. We also care about our clients and our team, and want to use safe products that deliver on durability and finish. That’s why we have found premium finish options made by trusted brands that offer durability and robust warranties and ensure long-lasting, beautiful results, all while also being low-VOC and eco-friendly. We also utilize superior, top-of-the-line power tools from Festool to do our repairs and refinishing work. While performance is important to us, safety is a higher priority, in every aspect of our work.

The Colorado Painting Company is happy to serve the greater Denver area, but our service area extends in all directions. For a full listing of current communities we serve, you can visit our service area page. If you don’t see your town listed, please contact us to inquire–we are typically able to service most communities in the state of Colorado.

The most honest answer we can give is that pricing depends almost entirely on the scope and scale of your project. Additional prep work and repairs along with the number of paint colors and general accessibility to the space being painted will all factor in. We work closely with each client to find a solution that works for their specific constraints. Our free, customized quotes include all materials to be used, along with labor costs and a projected timeline for completion. If a client wishes to make changes while a project is already underway, that will likely incur additional costs and extend the finish date. For a free estimate, contact The Colorado Painting Company anytime.

Our Denver painting company takes a wide range of factors into consideration when recommending an ideal time of year to paint your home’s or business’s exterior. While Colorado typically experiences low humidity, certain seasons bring unpredictable storms and snowfall–these would obviously make exterior painting impossible and result in a compromised finish. For the best results, exterior painting should be done during the months of June to October, on days when temperatures are above 45°F and humidity is low. In our area, soaring summer temperatures and intense sunlight can also threaten exterior painting, so we work quickly and at the ideal times of day to ensure proper adhesion and drying.

Yes, it is. During the color consultation stage we will work with you to decide on a shade and type of paint that works best for your project. Prices for paint finishes, colors, and grades can vary greatly, so the estimate will be based on current costs and projected amounts needed to complete your project. We can offer various options to find something that works for your specific considerations and project constraints. Rest assured that your estimate is free–we are happy to work up the specifics and share the numbers with you.

Our crew is happy to protect your furnishings and equipment indoors and landscaping and hardscaping outdoors, but there are some key things that we do need from clients prior to our arrival. We will need clear and easy access to the area to be painted, along with clear directions for where to park and where to enter the space. We want to respect your privacy and your business operations. For homeowners, we kindly request that children and pets be restricted from our work area, to keep everyone safe and to ensure that the project can progress at a steady pace. If the area to be painted is in an area commonly used for business, we would appreciate it if arrangements can be made to temporarily relocate until our work is completed. We know that disruptions are difficult, but when everyone plays their role we finish on time and can vacate your space in a timely manner. 

As a final note, if you have sensitive equipment or very special or priceless items in your space, removal is recommended. If removal is not possible, please be kind enough to point them out to us. If special plants are in your landscaping, please let us know and we will take extra special care to protect them.

Every painting job is different–some require deeper prep work and drywall repair to ensure a flawless finish. The number of rooms being painted, the size of those rooms, ceiling height, and whether you are changing or removing textures can also impact the timeline. That said, in general, a safe estimate for any residential interior painting job is roughly 1-5 working days, depending on specific factors and given that there are no changes to color selection or requested services. For more indepth commercial jobs, you could be looking at weeks or months, but it really is impossible to say without knowledge of the specific details of the job. Rest assured that we always aim to minimize disruption on residential and commercial projects alike. When you get your free estimate from our team, you can discuss the timeline directly.

Exterior painting projects vary widely, from size and scope to access and environment. Working outside brings along its own set of variables, and sometimes the weather wins. At The Colorado Painting Company, we always plan around key environmental factors, like air temperature, humidity, sun exposure and whether these align with the type of paint being used. To achieve the very best finish, we need to consider the details. Beyond these natural factors, we also take into account the size of your home or business and the level of difficulty–safety is a priority. In general, most homes will only require 2-5 days from start to finish. We aim to work on consecutive days, but we do need to work around the hand nature deals to ensure proper adhesion and setting. Regardless, you can trust that our ample crew will knock out your project as fast as possible without compromising quality or safety and always with an eye on safeguarding your property and landscaping. For commercial exterior projects, the timeline may be longer and there may be additional considerations, but we always strive for efficiency and minimal disruption.

Our trained professional staff of painting contractors have studied paint and the wide range of available colors. We understand how they react in different lighting conditions and how various finishes can enhance or detract from the final product. We also appreciate that historical buildings and HOAs have their own set of requirements around paint colors. Our team takes all of our hard-earned knowledge and works with you directly via our color consultation services to help you narrow down your options and pinpoint the perfect color for your home or business. We bring sample swatches and use various tools to help you envision your space when it’s been painted. Whether we are painting your interior or exterior space, we use your current style and material selections to inform our suggestions, but of course leave the final decision up to you.

Our clients are happy to share what they love about us and our work, and we’re grateful for their kind words. You can find some of their expressions on our reviews page. These good results aren’t a fluke–they’re a result of our Commitment To Quality that applies to every single job we handle. We guarantee consistency and a high level of quality across the board, thanks to our deep knowledge of our craft and dedication to understanding our medium. Every employee is thoroughly trained to ensure that they are armed with the know-how it takes to achieve a flawless, durable, high-quality finish on each and every project. We take pride in our work and we stand behind it for years into the future.

As mentioned above, we can aid homeowners in selecting the ideal color and shade for their preferences via our color consultation services. That said, this may not always line up with what an HOA requires. While we often do work with HOAs to handle large-scale projects, they typically prefer to hear from homeowners directly when making a petition for color approval. Doing this step well ahead of a painting project is likely best to achieve a timely outcome. Our team will assist in any way we can–feel free to contact us with questions.

The Colorado Painting Company takes our responsibility seriously. We know that you are taking a chance when you let us onto your property and into your home or business. So, in addition to conducting ourselves professionally at all times, we also hold all necessary licensure and insurance policies, protecting you, your property, and our workers. You can rest assured that we meet all relevant regulations. For proof of coverage, please feel free to contact us.
