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.
Everything that follows applies right here in Highland: the offerings, the process, and the pricing approach we use statewide.
Denver's semi-arid climate brings strong UV exposure, sudden afternoon thunderstorms, and wide daily temperature swings that break down finishes on wood fences and decks faster than in milder regions. Older stock in neighborhoods like Capitol Hill, Five Points, and Washington Park often features cedar or pine fencing installed decades ago that now needs stripping of failing layers before new coatings can hold. Proper surface prep, including sanding raised grain after winter moisture and using primers rated for high UV, prevents peeling within a single season.
Thunderstorms drive water into end grain and fastener holes, so we focus on sealing cut ends and using flexible acrylic or oil-alkyd blends that move with the wood during freeze-thaw cycles common from November through March. In areas like RiNo and Baker, where lots sit close together, overspray control and low-VOC products keep jobs compliant with Denver County air-quality rules while still delivering durable color. Homeowners in Highland and Sunnyside frequently request two-tone work that matches historic trim colors without trapping moisture behind solid-body stains.
