Montclair's housing mix of bungalows and mid-century homes sits on compact lots with alley or street access that requires careful equipment staging from our Denver base.
Freeze-thaw cycles and intense summer sun dictate surface prep and product choices that hold up through the local weather pattern.
Everything that follows applies right here in Montclair (80220): the offerings, the process, and the pricing approach we use statewide.
Denver's semi-arid climate brings hot summers, cold winters, and afternoon thunderstorms that spike indoor humidity. Cabinets in homes built before 1970 in Capitol Hill, Baker, and Five Points often have multiple layers of old finish that must be sanded and deglossed before new paint will hold. Skipping this step leads to peeling within two seasons as wood moves with temperature swings.
We use 100 percent acrylic cabinet paints formulated for low-VOC performance in tight Denver County spaces. These coatings resist the constant kitchen steam and the dry winter air that can crack lesser products. Edge cases include inset doors common in Washington Park and Park Hill homes, where every reveal must be brushed by hand to avoid lap marks.
