In Aurora, Colorado, with a population nearing 400,000, the job of exterior house painting actually involves a clear, step-by-step process. It begins with a thorough cleaning of your home's exterior surfaces. This removes dirt, chalking, mildew, and other contaminants that can prevent new paint from adhering properly. Next, the pros identify and repair any damaged areas. This could include scraping loose paint, sanding rough spots, caulking cracks, and addressing minor wood rot. Proper surface preparation is vital for a long-lasting finish. They then apply a high-quality primer to ensure even coverage and enhance paint adhesion, especially on bare or repaired surfaces. Finally, the exterior paint is applied, usually in two coats, using brushes, rollers, or sprayers depending on the surface and desired finish. This systematic approach ensures a beautiful and protective coating for your Aurora home. One quick call gets you a free quote – no obligation. Same-day appointments are often available in Aurora.

What affects the price

When you get a quote for exterior painting, the total depends on a few practical things. The size and height of your home are the biggest factors—a multi-story house takes more time and safety equipment. The current condition of your siding also matters; if there is significant peeling, wood rot, or mold, that area needs extra prep work before a brush ever touches it. Choosing high-end paint products or changing your color scheme entirely can also shift the final bill. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

About this service

Acrylic painting is a hobbyist art form using water-based, fast-drying pigments on canvas. It is a creative way to decorate interiors with personal artwork. While this is a fun activity for your home’s interior walls or decor, it is not a method used for exterior house painting. For outdoor protection, we use specialized industrial-grade resins and coatings built to resist the elements. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

Summer offers the best conditions for drying, but extreme heat can be an issue. If it’s too hot, paint might dry too quickly, which keeps it from bonding to the surface. We often schedule painting for earlier in the day to avoid the peak afternoon sun and keep the finish looking smooth.

Frequently asked in Aurora

What are the first steps in getting my house painted?

The process starts with a free estimate to assess your home's needs. Once scheduled, the crew arrives to thoroughly clean the exterior surfaces. They then inspect and repair any damage, scrape away old paint, and sand rough areas. Primer is applied where necessary, followed by the final coats of paint. This methodical approach ensures a quality finish for your Aurora home.

How does Colorado's climate affect exterior paint choices?

Colorado's climate, with its intense sun, temperature fluctuations, and occasional hail, requires durable exterior paint. High-quality acrylic latex paints are recommended for their UV resistance and flexibility. These paints can expand and contract with temperature changes without cracking. The pros select paints formulated to withstand Aurora's specific weather conditions. They ensure your home is protected.

What's involved in preparing my house for painting?

The painting crew handles most of the preparation. This includes washing the exterior to remove dirt and mildew, scraping and sanding any peeling paint, and caulking gaps or cracks. They'll also protect windows, doors, and landscaping with drop cloths and tape. You may need to move outdoor furniture or grills away from the house. This ensures a clean work area.

How do I determine the best color for my house?

Choosing a color can be a big decision. Consider the architectural style of your home and the surrounding neighborhood. You can also look at homes you admire for inspiration. The pros can provide samples and advice on how different colors will look in various lighting conditions. They help you select a shade that complements your Aurora home.

What's the difference between primer and paint?

Primer is a preparatory coating applied before the main paint. Its primary purpose is to seal porous surfaces, provide a uniform base for the paint, and improve adhesion. It can also block stains and provide a consistent color base. Paint provides the color and the protective top layer. Using both ensures a durable, even finish.

How long does exterior house painting typically take?

The duration of an exterior painting project depends on the size of the house, the complexity of its features, and the amount of prep work needed. A standard-sized home might take anywhere from a few days to a week. Weather conditions can also influence the timeline. The pros will give you an estimated completion date with your quote.

What are the benefits of hiring licensed and insured painters?

Hiring licensed and insured professionals provides crucial protection for you and your property. Licensing ensures the painters meet state and local requirements. Insurance covers any accidental damage to your home or injury to workers on site. This peace of mind is invaluable. It means you're protected throughout the project.
