Preparing Your Lakewood Curb Appeal for Spring 2026

Lakewood homeowners experience true winter conditions, including snow accumulation, freeze-thaw cycles, and fluctuating temperatures. As spring approaches, exterior surfaces often reveal subtle cracking, paint separation, and wood deterioration caused by winter moisture expansion.

Exterior painting in Lakewood supports both structural protection and curb appeal. CertaPro Painters® helps homeowners evaluate exterior surfaces and apply durable coating systems designed for Colorado’s climate and elevation.

Inspecting for Freeze-Thaw and Moisture Damage

When water enters small cracks in siding or stucco and then freezes, it expands. That expansion widens gaps and weakens paint adhesion. Once temperatures rise, melting snow and spring moisture can penetrate those openings.

Homeowners should inspect for:

• Cracked or flaking paint
• Stucco surface separation
• Caulk breakdown around windows and trim
• Soft or compromised wood boards

Addressing these concerns early ensures new paint bonds properly and performs through the summer season.

Wood Rot and Trim Evaluation

Many Lakewood homes feature wood trim, fascia, and architectural details exposed to snow buildup and sun. Winter moisture combined with spring melt can accelerate deterioration.

Replacing damaged boards and sealing vulnerable areas strengthens the exterior and extends the life of the repaint.

Why UV-Resistant Paint Matters in Colorado

Colorado’s elevation intensifies UV exposure. Even in cooler temperatures, strong sunlight accelerates fading and paint breakdown.

High-performance products like Sherwin-Williams exterior UV-resistant paints help maintain color integrity and resist chalking in high-altitude conditions. Selecting UV-reflective coatings helps Lakewood homeowners protect both appearance and investment.

Exterior painting season in Lakewood ramps up quickly once snow clears and temperatures stabilize. Scheduling early helps secure preferred timing before contractor calendars fill.
