Painting Denver’s Beautiful Victorian Homes

Posted on October 7, 2020

Victorian homes bring out the romance in any neighborhood. With wrapped porches, balustrades, cupolas, and turrets, they have a genuinely unique appearance. During the 19th century, industrial innovations led to the opportunity for new and ornate home styles at reasonable costs.

Victorian home exterior

Painting Victorian homes requires skill and expertise beyond standard practices. Due to their age and intricacies frequent maintenance is common. Much of the work is very detailed, requiring meticulous painting of corbels and spindles among other sections.

Unique obstacles can also paradoxically become commonplace. A large portion of Victorian homes are historic, meaning lead-based paint can be prevalent. CertaPro Painters® of Denver, CO are certified by the EPA and adhere to the guidelines laid out by the Toxic Substance Control Act to resolve any issues with lead-based products.

Another tricky element of these homes are the color schemes. The schemes can be incredibly intricate, often using multiple colors (normally around 3 colors but sometimes up to 9!). Many Victorian homeowners have an idea of how they wish for their exterior to look, but some need a bit of assistance. CertaPro Painters® offer a professional color consultation for those needing another set of eyes.

Be prepared for some carpentry work! Potentially, older homes not only require specific paint types but may also need light repairs and replacements. The mostly wood structures can be exposed to rotting and mold, requiring restoration. Design intricacies create some delicate exterior sections which can be ravaged by weather, producing another need for small repairs.

Painting a Victorian home may seem a daunting task. With proper care along with some assistance from CertaPro Painters® of Denver, CO, you can keep your exterior looking beautiful and fresh year round! Don’t be scared away from your potential dream home and take comfort that CertaPro’s Victorian home experts are right down the road.
