Commerce City sits out on the open high plains of Adams County at roughly 5,160 feet, and that elevation is the main thing that decides how long an exterior paint job actually lasts here. With so little tree cover and so few windbreaks across town, walls take the full force of thin-air UV — the kind that chalks and fades south- and west-facing siding faster than the can on the shelf ever promises. Exposed newer neighborhoods like Reunion, Villages at Buffalo Run, Buffalo Mesa, and Eagle Creek feel it hardest, sitting wide open with little shelter from the sun or the wind.

That exposure is exactly why exterior paint matters more in Commerce City than in a sheltered, shaded town. Intense high-altitude sun, hail that scuffs and chips siding off the plains, and dramatic day-to-night temperature swings that flex and crack a weak film all gang up to age a paint job ahead of schedule. CR Custom Exteriors is a family-owned, Erie-based contractor with 10-plus years on Front Range exteriors. We do full prep — power wash, scrape, sand, caulk, and prime — then apply UV-resistant, high-altitude-rated coatings to manufacturer spec on siding, trim, stucco, and accents, so the color you pick still looks right years after the crew leaves.

Coatings Built for the Plains Sun

We use UV-resistant, high-altitude-rated paints chosen for Commerce City's thin-air sun and big day-to-night temperature swings — not bargain coatings that chalk and crack a couple seasons after they go on out here on the open plains.

Full Prep, Not Just a Recoat

Power wash, scrape, sand, caulk, and prime come before a single finish coat. On Commerce City's wind- and hail-scuffed siding and sun-baked trim, that prep is what makes the new paint actually bond and hold.

Common questions

How long does exterior paint last on a Commerce City home?
With proper prep and a UV-resistant, high-altitude-rated coating, a quality exterior repaint here typically holds up for many years — but it depends on exposure. South- and west-facing walls in wide-open neighborhoods like Buffalo Mesa or Villages at Buffalo Run take the brunt of the high-plains sun and fade first. We spec the coating and prep to your home's exposure during the free estimate.
What does exterior paint cost in Commerce City, and what drives the price?
Every home is different, so we quote in writing after walking yours. The biggest cost factors are square footage and number of stories, the surfaces involved — siding, trim, stucco, and accents — the amount of prep and repair needed once we wash and scrape, and the coating you choose. A home that needs extra scraping, caulking, or wood repair takes more prep than a newer Reunion build that just wants a color refresh.
Do you prep the surface or just paint over what's there?
We do full prep on every job — power wash, scrape loose and failing paint, sand, caulk gaps and seams, and prime bare or repaired surfaces before any finish coat. On Commerce City homes that prep is what makes the paint last: it lets the UV-resistant coating bond properly so it doesn't peel off hail-scuffed siding or chalk off sun-baked, south-facing walls a couple seasons later.
