Out on Erie's open plains, exterior paint takes a beating that homes tucked closer to Boulder or Louisville simply never see. With no foothills to break the weather, the same downslope and frontal wind events that lift and crease shingles also drive grit and dust straight into your siding, sandblasting the finish and chalking it years ahead of schedule. Layer on the high-altitude UV that bakes south- and west-facing walls, the dramatic day-to-night temperature swings that flex every board and seam, and the scuffs hail leaves behind, and a paint job that might last a decade elsewhere starts fading and failing fast on an Erie home.

That exposure shows up right across town, from Vista Ridge, Colliers Hill, and Erie Highlands to Compass, Canyon Creek, and Arapahoe Ridge. CR Custom Exteriors is a family-owned, licensed and insured contractor based right here in Erie with 10+ years on Front Range homes. We don't just roll on a fresh coat — we power wash, scrape, sand, caulk, and prime first, then apply UV-resistant, high-altitude-rated coatings to manufacturer spec across siding, trim, stucco, and accents, with a color consultation so your home looks right against the wide Erie sky.

Coatings rated for Erie's sun and swings

We use UV-resistant, high-altitude-rated paints chosen for the intense Front Range sun fade and dramatic temperature swings that crack ordinary finishes. The right coating holds its color and flex on exposed walls in Vista Ridge and Colliers Hill instead of chalking in a few seasons.

Full prep, not just a fresh coat

Every job starts with a power wash, scrape, sand, caulk, and prime so paint actually bonds to wind-blasted, hail-scuffed surfaces. Skipping prep is why most exterior jobs fail early on Erie's exposed plains — we never do.

Common questions

Why does exterior paint fade so fast on Erie homes?
Erie sits out on the open Front Range plains with nothing to shade your walls, so high-altitude UV hits south- and west-facing siding harder than at lower elevations, and wind-driven grit off the plains chalks and scours the finish. That combination fades and breaks down standard paint years early, which is why we use UV-resistant, high-altitude-rated coatings built to hold color and flex through Erie's sun and temperature swings.
What does CR's exterior painting prep include?
Prep is where a paint job lasts or fails, especially on wind-exposed Erie homes. Before any color goes on we power wash off chalk and grime, scrape and sand failing paint, caulk gaps and seams that the wind and freeze-thaw cycles have opened, and prime bare or hail-scuffed surfaces. Only then do we apply the coating to manufacturer spec on siding, trim, stucco, and accents so it bonds and holds.
When is the best time to repaint an exterior in Erie?
Late spring through early fall is the sweet spot, when temperatures stay in the range coatings need to cure properly between Erie's dramatic day-to-night swings. We also schedule around the spring and early-summer hail season common to this stretch of the Front Range, and we'll walk your home with a color consultation first so prep and application line up with a stable weather window.
