Exterior paint takes a brutal beating in Wheat Ridge. Sitting just west of Denver, the city is squarely on the Front Range hail and wind belt, and the intense high-altitude sun chalks and fades coatings far faster than a paint-can label ever promises. Across Applewood Villages, Fruitdale, and The Barths, you see it most on the south- and west-facing walls, trim, and wide fascia, where years of UV have dried the wood, dulled the color, and left old caulk lines cracked and pulling open.

That fast fade is exactly why a quality repaint matters here, and why it has to be done right rather than rolled on quick. CR Custom Exteriors is a family-owned, licensed and insured contractor that has served Wheat Ridge and the rest of the Front Range for 10+ years, and our exterior paint work starts with full prep, not just color. We power wash, scrape, sand, caulk, and prime, smooth out hail-scuffed surfaces, then apply UV-resistant, high-altitude-rated coatings to manufacturer spec on siding, stucco, trim, and accents, so homes in Applewood Place and Fireside at Applewood hold their finish through Colorado's hard sun and sharp temperature swings.

Coatings built for Wheat Ridge sun

We use UV-resistant, high-altitude-rated paint chosen to fight the intense Front Range sun that chalks and fades color fast on Wheat Ridge's south- and west-facing walls, so your finish holds years longer than a quick recoat.

Full prep, not just a fresh coat

Power wash, scrape, sand, caulk, and prime come standard, including smoothing hail-scuffed siding and trim. That prep is what makes paint actually bond and last on aging homes across Applewood Villages and The Barths.

Common questions

Why does exterior paint fade so fast on Wheat Ridge homes?
It comes down to elevation and exposure. Wheat Ridge sits in high-altitude Front Range sun that delivers far stronger UV than lower elevations, which chalks and dulls paint quickly, especially on south- and west-facing walls. Add hail that scuffs surfaces and dramatic temperature swings that crack old caulk, and standard coatings wear out early. We use UV-resistant, high-altitude-rated paint and full prep specifically to slow that fade.
What's included in a CR exterior paint job in Wheat Ridge?
Every repaint starts with full prep: power washing, scraping, sanding, caulking, and priming, plus addressing hail-scuffed siding and trim before any color goes on. From there we apply manufacturer-spec coatings to siding, stucco, trim, and accents. On older homes around Applewood Place and Fruitdale we match the work to the home's existing character rather than treating it like new construction.
What affects the cost of an exterior paint job in Wheat Ridge?
Cost depends on the size and height of the home, how much prep the existing surfaces need, your siding and trim materials such as wood, stucco, and brick accents, the coating you choose, and the amount of repair from sun, hail, or weathered fascia. Older homes across The Barths and Applewood Villages often need more scraping and caulking, which we factor in. We give every Wheat Ridge homeowner a detailed estimate up front so there are no surprises.
