Initial Condition Assessment
When our Louisville painting team arrived at this Boulder County property, we encountered typical Colorado exterior aging:
Surface Conditions:
- Weather-Related Wear: Colorado’s UV exposure and temperature extremes had caused coating deterioration and fading
- Detailed Preparation Needs: Window frames, dormer areas, and siding board lips showing weathering requiring extensive hand scraping
- Minor Repair Requirements: One rotted trim piece beneath front porch requiring replacement
- Caulking Failures: Failed caulk in soffits and around trim requiring comprehensive replacement
Project Scope
This comprehensive Louisville exterior painting project included:
Complete Exterior Painting:
We painted the entire home exterior maintaining the existing colors that the homeowner loved. Every surface received thorough preparation including power washing, hand scraping of weathered areas, and spot priming where needed.
Premium Materials Upgrade:
The homeowner chose to upgrade to Sherwin-Williams Emerald paint throughout – the longest-lasting paint available on the market. This premium system features cross-linking technology providing extreme resistance to peeling and color fade, perfect for Colorado’s challenging weather.
Minor Carpentry Repair:
We replaced one rotted trim piece beneath the front porch, ensuring all new wood was properly primed before painting for maximum protection and longevity.
Comprehensive Surface Preparation:
- Professional power washing removing Colorado dust, dirt, and weathering
- Detailed hand scraping on window frames, dormers, and siding boards
- Strategic caulking replacement using Colorado-climate formulated products
