Sun-Faded Exterior Repaint & Shed Update

This comprehensive exterior painting project in Erie, Colorado showcased our team’s ability to deliver high-quality results while meeting strict HOA deadlines. Located in Boulder County’s rapidly growing residential area, the project involved a complete refresh of both the home and the matching backyard shed.

The property features a mixed-material exterior with clapboard and decorative shingle siding, as well as a covered porch with painted posts and railings common in Boulder County neighborhoods. The backyard shed required a matching color update to align with community rules. The home is situated in a family-friendly area convenient to Boulder County amenities and the overall Front Range lifestyle. HOA requirements played a key role in project timing and color consistency, reinforcing the need for precise coordination.

We carefully managed scheduling requirements and surface preparation, ensuring compliance with HOA maintenance standards while applying the Sherwin-Williams Latitude ClimateFlex coating system for long-term durability against Colorado’s harsh weather conditions.

Project Details:

Upon arrival, our Erie painting team observed typical Colorado exposure damage, including sun-faded surfaces, deteriorated coatings, and failed caulking along trim and soffits. South- and west-facing sides showed extensive UV wear, requiring detailed scraping and spot priming prior to repainting. Several elevated work areas beyond 20 feet required specialized access to safely complete surface preparation and finishing. Additionally, the HOA imposed an end-of-summer deadline, making proactive planning essential to ensure compliance without sacrificing craftsmanship or coating performance.

Scope of the Work:

The project included full exterior painting of the home in existing HOA-approved colors, restoring a fresh and compliant look while adding weather protection. The shed was also repainted using the same palette to maintain property cohesion. We used Sherwin-Williams Latitude with ClimateFlex Technology, engineered for superior moisture defense and low-temperature application – ideal for Colorado’s unpredictable weather swings. Preparation steps included extensive hand scraping, thorough power washing to remove dust and debris, full caulking replacement using climate-appropriate products, and targeted priming of sun-damaged or exposed areas to ensure consistent adhesion and color integrity.

Challenges & Solutions:

Meeting HOA deadline requirements was a primary challenge, requiring strategic scheduling, efficient workflow management, and clear communication with the homeowner throughout the process. Weathered surfaces across the property demanded significant prep work, especially where UV exposure had caused severe fading. High-reach areas required careful access planning and safety compliance throughout the project. Incorporating the shed into the scope also required careful color coordination and best-effort painting coverage around its limited access points.

Special Equipment & Techniques:

To achieve the required level of durability, we selected the Sherwin-Williams Latitude coating system backed by a manufacturer lifetime warranty and proven 35°F low-temperature application capability. Our team utilized extended ladder setups, with proper safety protocols, for elevated work and applying materials evenly at height. The prep process included hand scraping of all weather-impacted areas, strategic spot priming across exposed substrates, and full caulking restoration to protect against future moisture intrusion.
