Longmont sits low and open at the foot of the foothills, out on the plains where nothing shades the weather, and that exposure is rough on paint. The same high-altitude sun that feels so intense here strips color out of siding and trim faster than it does at lower elevations, fading south- and west-facing walls years ahead of the rest of the house. Then the hail and downslope wind that put Longmont squarely in Colorado's hail belt scuff, chip, and pit those finishes, while the swings from a 70-degree afternoon to a hard overnight freeze make coatings expand, contract, and eventually crack and peel at the seams. A paint job that would coast for a decade somewhere milder simply does not last out here.

That is why CR Custom Exteriors treats exterior paint as protection, not just looks. We work across the full range of Longmont housing, from the older homes and detailed trim around Old Town and Downtown Longmont to the newer builds in Prospect New Town, Clover Basin, and Fox Hill. Every project gets full prep, power wash, scrape, sand, caulk, and prime, before we apply UV-resistant, high-altitude-rated coatings to manufacturer spec on siding, trim, stucco, and accents. As a family-owned company based just down the road in Erie, we are licensed and insured, an Owens Corning Platinum Preferred contractor, with 10-plus years of experience and a 4.9-star rating across 150-plus Google reviews.

Coatings rated for Longmont's sun and swings

We spec UV-resistant, high-altitude-rated paints built to fight the intense sun fade, hard freeze-thaw cycles, and big day-to-night temperature swings that crack and chalk ordinary finishes out on the plains.

Full prep is half the job

Power wash, scrape, sand, caulk, and prime come standard, so paint actually bonds to hail-scuffed siding and weathered trim from Southmoor Park to Renaissance instead of peeling a season later.

Local crew, manufacturer-spec finish

Family-owned and Erie-based with 10-plus years on the Front Range, 4.9 stars across 150-plus reviews, licensed and insured, applying every coat to manufacturer spec with color consultation included.

Common questions

Why does exterior paint fade so fast on Longmont homes?
Longmont's open position on the plains means very little blocks the high-altitude sun, and that intense UV breaks down pigment and binder faster than it does at lower elevations, especially on south- and west-facing walls. We use UV-resistant, high-altitude-rated coatings and full prep so the color holds far longer than a standard repaint.
Can you paint over hail-scuffed or chipped siding and trim?
Yes, and that is exactly the prep that matters here. Because Longmont sits in Colorado's hail belt, we routinely scrape, sand, fill, caulk, and prime hail-scuffed and chipped surfaces before any color goes on, so the new coating bonds to sound material instead of trapping damage underneath.
What time of year is best to repaint a Longmont home's exterior?
Late spring through early fall is ideal, since coatings need stable temperatures to cure and Longmont's dramatic day-to-night swings can interfere outside that window. We schedule around the weather and apply each coat to manufacturer-spec temperature and dry-time guidelines so the finish sets up the way it is built to.
