"The process started with Dakota Hove uncovering my needs, budget and desired outcome. Very confident in his company and support team he worked within my budget and followed up with me before during and after the process, I then worked with Lexi their color specialist who helped me pick the most beautiful colors that brought my vision to reality perfectly. I was turned over to Kurt O’Donnell my project manager, who delivered on the promises made? He worked with me to find the perfect stain for my beautiful wood beams and gable roof, insured that the exterior paint as well as the interior paint was nothing less than perfection. Jose and his team were so polite, skilled and left my home spotless. Everyone involved exceeded my expectations. Worth every penny. Thanks so much,"
After; What a transformation! Body color is Comfort Gray SW 6205. Trim is Alabaster SW 7008, and Accent is Rookwood Red SW 2802

"Cliff came in on a Saturday and removed 3 walls of wallpaper. He did a great job with that and we hired him to paint the upper level interior of the house. Again a great job at a fair price. Cliff is a true painting professional and it shows in his work. I'll definitely call Cliff for future painting projects."

"This company was amazing to work with !! We live in Texas and needed our house in Colorado painted to be sold. Painter 1 of Westminster took care of all our needs, was easy to work with from Texas and had the job completed early. We would use them again and would refer to any of our friend s and family…. Thank you for doing such an amazing job!!!"

"They did a great job painting the exterior of our home and staining our decks. We were very happy with the final result and paid a very fair price. My only complaint would be a lack of communication and with rescheduling when the painters did not show due to weather. That said, they still completed the project quickly and did an excellent job."

"Kylan was pleasant, friendly, professional and did a great job painting. He also threw in painting a door for free, to help make the room look better. He was also very careful about masking to prevent any paint spilling anywhere. I won't lie, while Kylan's prices are reasonable and fair, you could possibly get 25% cheaper if you really shopped around. But it wouldn't be a huge difference, and there'd be high risk of getting low quality work. Better to pay very slightly more and get the peace of mind of a real pro on the job. Kylan's work is very thorough and detail oriented. Would happily hire again."

"Scott Wald and his crew (Mark and R.J) painted both the exterior and the interior of our home. They were at our home for several days and were a pleasure to have around. They were very reliable and personable, and also reasonably priced. Scott was very flexible and patient with my continued additions to the work we initially requested. He was also very accommodating whenever I pointed out areas which needed another coat or where a spot had been missed, and was quick to remedy whatever I thought needed extra attention. We would definitely hire them again."

Painting questions, answered by experts

Generally, these steps are included in exterior house painting:

  • Prepping and protecting the areas not being painted

  • Scraping away loose paint

  • Cleaning off dirt, grease, and debris

  • Caulking gaps and openings

  • Priming with a quality paint primer

  • Painting the prepared areas, including trim and accents with chosen paint finish

  • Adding a second coat

  • Cleaning up the site and disposing of tape, plastic, and drop cloths

If your cedar fence is new, don’t delay. Unlike treated pine, you don’t need to wait months for the wood to dry out for it to accept stain. With cedar, the sooner, the better. Seal cedar within two weeks of installation to prevent the sun from fading its red color.

You shouldn't paint a metal fence. Painting doesn't necessarily damage a corrugated metal fence, but these types of fences are meant to flex, and paint can easily chip and break off. Latex paints can address this issue, but those tend not to be very weather-resistant. Certain paints can trap moisture in the corrugation, which can rust the metal and lead to corrosion. And finally, if you paint a copper fence, it won't patina, which is one of the main reasons people buy copper.  

Staining pressure-treated wood is a recommended practice. While inherently resilient, it's not impervious to moisture and UV exposure. Staining treated wood is feasible and recommended for enhanced protection and longevity. Applying stain and sealant safeguards against degradation, prolonging its life span. These measures shield the wood from environmental threats while augmenting its aesthetic appeal, ensuring your investment endures the test of time.

Stain is meant to be absorbed by the porous wood, allowing some of the natural grain to show through. With that in mind, you don’t want to add more stain than the wood can absorb, as you risk covering up its natural markings. Generally, two coats is the maximum you should do, although very dense hardwoods may only be able to take a single coat.
