Capitol Hill's older housing stock and compact urban blocks mean painters must adapt to tight access and historic details on nearly every project.
Weather swings from intense summer sun to winter snow affect both timing and product choice for interior and exterior work in this neighborhood.
Below is what Capitol Hill customers get when they book cabinet painting with us — local dispatch, and the exact process we use across Colorado.
Denver's older housing stock in Capitol Hill, Five Points and Baker often features original wood cabinets installed decades ago. These surfaces expand and contract with the semi-arid climate's hot summers and cold winters, so thorough sanding, priming and flexible coatings are required to prevent cracking. Afternoon thunderstorms raise indoor humidity briefly, which can affect drying times if windows are left open during application.
Homeowners in Highland, Sunnyside and Washington Park frequently request cabinet painting instead of full replacement because the work can be completed in three to five days while keeping the home occupied. We mask all hardware, remove doors and drawers, and apply two coats of cabinet-grade enamel over a bonding primer that adheres to both painted and stained finishes common in 1950s through 1980s Denver construction.
