Highland's mix of century-old homes and newer builds means every project starts with a close look at siding condition and previous paint layers before any work begins.
Crews travel from our Denver shop daily, timing arrivals to avoid peak commute hours on Federal and Speer.
Below is what Highland customers get when they book drywall painting & repair with us — local dispatch, and the exact process we use across Colorado.
Denver's semi-arid climate brings wide temperature swings and frequent summer thunderstorms that drive moisture into walls, especially in older homes found in Capitol Hill, Five Points and Baker. Drywall joints expand and contract with these changes, producing hairline cracks that reappear if only surface patched. We use fiberglass mesh tape and setting-type compound on seams, then apply a full skim coat to blend with existing textures before priming with a high-build primer that blocks tannin bleed common in 1920s-1950s stock.
In neighborhoods like Highland, LoDo and Sunnyside, many homes have plaster-over-lath walls that require different prep than modern drywall. We cut back loose material to sound substrate, install new drywall where needed, and feather edges three coats deep so the repair disappears under paint. Cold winter days slow drying times, so we schedule return visits to sand only after compound has fully cured rather than forcing the schedule and leaving visible ridges.
