Arvada sits on the northwest edge of the Denver metro where the plains meet the foothills, and that position is hard on a coat of paint. The thin, high-altitude air lets far more UV through than you get at sea level, so south- and west-facing walls chalk, fade, and lose their sheen years ahead of schedule — the reds and deep earth tones common across Arvada are usually the first to go. On top of that, the city sits squarely in the Front Range hail belt, where spring and summer storms rolling off the mountains scuff and pit siding, and the daily swing from a 70-degree afternoon to a freezing night makes paint expand, contract, and eventually crack and peel along trim and seams.

That's exactly the work CR Custom Exteriors does. We're a family-owned, Erie-based contractor with 10+ years on the Front Range, licensed and insured, and we repaint with UV-resistant, high-altitude-rated coatings chosen to hold their color and flex through Colorado's extremes. Every job starts with real prep — power wash, scrape, sand, caulk, and prime — before a clean finish goes on siding, trim, stucco, and accents. Whether you own a mid-century home near Olde Town Arvada whose original paint has weathered decades of sun, or a newer build in Candelas, Leyden Rock, West Woods, or Whisper Creek where the builder-grade finish is now chalking and dulling, we match the right system to your home and color it to last.

Coatings rated for Arvada's altitude and sun

We don't use whatever's on the shelf. We apply UV-resistant, high-altitude-rated paints chosen to resist the intense sun fade, chalking, and temperature-swing cracking that age exterior finishes fast on Arvada's foothill edge.

Real prep, not a quick recoat

A finish only lasts if the surface is right. We power wash, scrape, sand, caulk, and prime every project — including hail-scuffed siding and weathered trim — so the new coat actually bonds and holds through Arvada's freeze-thaw winters.

Local crew and a color you'll love

As a family-owned, licensed and insured Front Range contractor rated 4.9 stars across 150+ Google reviews, we walk you through a color consultation that fits your neighborhood — from Olde Town Arvada character homes to newer builds in Five Parks and Whisper Creek — then apply it clean and carefully.

Common questions

Why does exterior paint fade so fast on Arvada homes?
It's the altitude and the sun. Arvada sits high on the northwest edge of the metro where thin air lets far more UV through, so finishes chalk and fade years faster than they would at sea level — especially deep colors on south- and west-facing walls. We use UV-resistant, high-altitude-rated coatings specifically to slow that fade and hold color longer through Arvada's intense sun and big day-to-night temperature swings.
What does a full exterior repaint in Arvada include?
Every repaint starts with full prep: we power wash the home, scrape and sand failing areas, caulk gaps and seams, and prime bare or repaired surfaces — including any spots scuffed by Front Range hail. Then we apply a clean finish across your siding, trim, stucco, and accents. We also include a color consultation so you land on a scheme that suits your home, whether it's a classic near Olde Town Arvada or a newer build in Candelas or Leyden Rock.
How long does exterior paint last in Arvada's climate?
With the right coating and proper prep, a quality exterior repaint should hold up for many years in Arvada — but the home's exposure, the previous surface, and the dramatic freeze-thaw and UV cycles out here all affect lifespan. That's exactly why we don't skip prep or use bargain paint: power washing, scraping, caulking, and priming under a high-altitude-rated finish is what keeps an Arvada home from peeling and chalking early.
