Exterior Paint in Firestone, CO

Exterior paint works harder in Firestone than almost anywhere else on the Front Range. Out on the flat, open ground of the Carbon Valley, homes here sit in full sun with little tree cover or terrain to soften it, and that intense Colorado high-plains light fades south- and west-facing walls years before a homeowner expects it. Add the late-spring and summer hailstorms that scuff and pit siding and trim, plus the strong downslope winds that sweep across the valley driving grit into every coat, and the dramatic day-to-night temperature swings that make stucco, lap siding, and wood trim expand and contract until cheap paint cracks and peels. A finish that would last in a milder climate simply does not hold up out here.

Because so much of Firestone is newer tract construction, whole streets in St. Vrain Ranch, Barefoot Lakes, Booth Farms, and The Hearth at Oak Meadows went up around the same time with the same builder-grade paint — so they are reaching the chalky, faded, peeling stage together, block by block. CR Custom Exteriors is a family-owned, licensed and insured contractor based just down the road in Erie with 10+ years on the Front Range. We do the full job: power wash, scrape, sand, caulk, and prime, then color consultation and clean, manufacturer-spec application of UV-resistant coatings on your siding, trim, stucco, and accents — so the finish actually survives a Firestone summer.
