Weather-Resistant Repaint with Premium Coatings in Mead
a Case Study by CertaPro Painters® of Boulder and Longmont
Front Range Home Restoration with Emerald Durability
This comprehensive exterior renovation project demonstrates the value of professional referral networks and premium materials in creating stunning home transformations. Located in Northern Colorado’s growing Mead community, this complete exterior refresh showcased our expertise in three-color coordination, strategic carpentry repairs, and Sherwin-Williams Emerald coating system – delivering maximum durability for the challenging Northern Colorado climate.
The home, a modern Northern Colorado residence with mixed-material siding and traditional porch detailing, had suffered from sun exposure, caulking failures, and minor wood swelling due to years of fluctuating weather. Through careful surface preparation, multi-color coordination, and expert craftsmanship, our team restored the home’s vibrant appearance while ensuring long-lasting durability.
The result is a refreshed exterior that has not only enhanced curb appeal but also delivers exceptional protection against Colorado’s challenging climate.

INITIAL CONDITION:
When our Northern Colorado team arrived at this Mead property, we found typical Front Range weather damage: deteriorated coatings, swollen wood, and failed caulking. Multiple trim boards around post bases and roofline areas required replacement, while some of the swollen boards could be restored through specialized preparation techniques rather than full replacement, ensuring a durable and cost-effective result.
PROJECT SCOPE:
This comprehensive transformation included complete exterior preparation, repairs, and premium coating application. Our crew began by power washing all surfaces to remove dust and residue, followed by scraping and sanding to eliminate peeling paint. Damaged trim boards were replaced or repaired, and failed caulking was carefully removed and resealed using Colorado-climate-formulated sealants.
The project featured a three-color coordination plan using the Sherwin-Williams Emerald Acrylic Latex Satin system, renowned for its cross-linking technology that resists peeling, fading, and UV degradation. All surfaces including siding, trim, and storm doors were treated with spot primer and DTM Bonding Primer where necessary to ensure optimal adhesion. Additional carpentry services included post base and fascia replacement, rear elevation moisture sealing, and preparation of swollen boards to avoid unnecessary material replacement.
CHALLENGES & SOLUTIONS:
Working in Northern Colorado requires an understanding of the region’s extreme temperature fluctuations, ranging from subzero winters to 100°F summers. To accommodate these conditions, our team utilized premium caulking systems and moisture-sealing products (Sikaflex NP1) specifically designed for high-movement substrates.
The multi-color scheme presented additional challenges, demanding precise masking, clean transition lines, and consistent color saturation across multiple materials and textures. Advanced preparation techniques were applied to swollen boards, allowing the crew to preserve the home’s original materials while ensuring smooth, professional results.
