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 housing stock ranges from early 1900s Victorians in Capitol Hill and Baker to mid-century brick homes in Park Hill and Washington Park. These structures often feature plaster walls that crack with seasonal shifts between hot summers and cold winters. Proper surface repair before paint application prevents recurring lines and peeling when afternoon thunderstorms raise indoor humidity. Using high-quality acrylic latex paints suited to low-moisture air helps maintain even coverage without flash marks during quick dry times.
Preparation work differs by neighborhood. In Five Points and Highland, many homes retain original wood trim that requires careful masking to avoid bleed-through from dark stains. Newer builds in Stapleton and Montclair may have textured drywall needing specific primer to avoid uneven sheen. Paint selection must consider UV exposure through large windows common in LoDo and Cherry Creek condos, where south-facing rooms fade faster without UV-resistant topcoats.
How It Works in Highland

Color Application
