Super Service Award 2025Open-plains exposure and your siding
Windsor sits out on the plains east of the foothills, and very little stands between a house and the weather rolling across the fields. Sunlight hits siding for long, uninterrupted hours, breaking down binders in the paint until the surface turns chalky and the color looks washed out. Wind arrives with dust and grit that dull the finish and work into every seam. When storms build in summer, hail can strike hard enough to chip trim boards, pock fiber-cement lap siding and mark metal garage doors. Because most Windsor homes are relatively new, many still wear their original builder paint, which is usually a single thin coat. Once those forces have been at work for several years, the walls facing south and west are generally the first to show it, and a complete repaint with better products becomes the smart move.
Working within HOA-approved color palettes
A large share of Windsor neighborhoods, including Water Valley, Highland Meadows and RainDance, are governed by HOAs that publish approved exterior color schemes. Painting outside those rules can lead to letters, fines or an order to redo the work, so we treat approval as part of the project. We review your community's palette with you, narrow it down to combinations you love, and prepare sample patches or color information for the architectural committee when an application is required. After approval, we document the exact products and colors used, so the finished house matches the paperwork and future touch-ups match the house. Homeowners appreciate not having to manage that process alone, and committees appreciate submissions that are complete and accurate.
Prep that newer homes still need
It is easy to assume a newer house needs little preparation, but builder finishes in Windsor often hide small problems. Caulk around windows, corner boards and trim shrinks and splits as the house settles. Nail heads pop, fascia joints open and garage door trim takes moisture where sprinklers hit it. Before any paint goes on, we wash every surface to remove chalk and dust, scrape and sand loose areas, set and fill fasteners, replace failed sealant and spot-prime bare spots. On homes closer to Main Street and Windsor Lake, which can be a bit older, we also look for soft wood and replace damaged boards. That groundwork lets two full finish coats bond properly and keeps the new color looking even for years.
Choosing coatings for Windsor hail and sun
Product selection matters as much as color. We recommend premium exterior acrylics with strong UV resistance and good flexibility, because a film that can stretch slightly is less likely to crack when temperatures swing or when hail strikes. Satin and low-sheen finishes hide minor surface imperfections on siding, while semi-gloss on trim and doors makes them easier to wash. If a storm does damage paint after we finish, we are close enough to come out, assess the area and touch it up with the documented color. Darker HOA-approved shades can fade more quickly on sunny elevations, and we will tell you honestly if a particular choice will need more frequent maintenance.
Scheduling your Windsor repaint
Exterior work is planned around wind and temperature. On calm mornings we spray large wall areas for uniform coverage, and when gusts pick up we switch to brushing and rolling so overspray never reaches neighbors' cars or homes, which sit close together in many Windsor subdivisions. We protect rock beds, landscaping and driveways, and we clean up at the end of every day. Windsor is a short drive southeast of our Fort Collins office along Harmony Road or CO-392, so estimates, color reviews and final walkthroughs are easy to schedule. You will receive a written estimate, regular updates and a final inspection together before we consider the job complete.
The 12-step exterior painting system
Full property protection
Shrubs, landscaping, roofing, concrete and stone are protected with canvas drop cloths, paper and plastic from start to finish.
Thorough pressure washing
All wood and paintable surfaces are washed with mild detergent, mildew treatment or solvent to remove dirt, grease, mildew and chalking.
Daily clean-up & communication
Each day ends with a clean-up, organised tools, debris removed and a walk-around to review progress and the next day's plan.
Scraping loose paint
All failing or loose paint is carefully scraped away to create a stable surface for new coatings.
Sanding & surface smoothing
Rough edges are sanded smooth and glossy surfaces dulled so new paint bonds correctly.
Priming bare surfaces
Exposed wood and metal are primed with the appropriate primer for long-lasting adhesion and to prevent future peeling.
Caulking & gap sealing
Loose caulking is removed and replaced and open gaps sealed against rainwater, insects and moisture.
Nail resetting & repairs
Loose nails are reset and holes re-puttied to restore structural integrity and appearance.
Window glazing repairs
Loose or missing glaze is replaced and wood sash primed to extend the life of the glazing compound.
Premium paint application
Exterior surfaces are typically sprayed for even coverage; trim and detail areas are brushed or rolled for precision.
Test patches & colour assurance
Up to 9 test patches are applied to your home so you can view colours in different light. Labelled touch-up paint is left for you.
Final inspection & guarantee
We walk the property with you to identify touch-ups and requests, ensuring the job is completed to your total satisfaction.
