What Colorado Springs houses have to deal with

Every era of house needs something different

The city has grown outward in rings, and each ring brings its own prep. Homes near downtown, the Old North End and Old Colorado City date back a century or more, with wood siding, detailed trim and - in anything built before 1978 - the possibility of lead paint. The mid-century neighbourhoods have plaster and older drywall. The 1970s through 1990s brought popcorn ceilings, textured walls and wallpaper borders. Newer subdivisions on the north and east sides lean toward stucco and fibre-cement. A repaint estimate starts with knowing which one you live in.

Sun and swings in temperature

At a little over 6,000 feet, sunlight is stronger than at sea level and the air is dry. South- and west-facing walls fade and chalk first, and exterior wood dries out and checks. Days can be warm and nights cold, which limits exterior painting in spring and fall. Inside, the dry air is kind to paint - it dries quickly - but it also opens up gaps in trim and makes old caulk shrink and crack.

Hail season

The Pikes Peak region sees hail most summers. Beyond dented gutters, hail chips paint off trim and siding and can crack wood and stucco, letting water in behind the finish. If a storm has marked your house, the damaged trim or siding should be repaired before anything is repainted - and if the damage is bad, talk to your insurer before booking the work.

What we do in Colorado Springs

Interior Painting — Whole-house and room-by-room repaints - walls, ceilings, trim, doors and vaulted spaces - with the furniture, floors and fixtures protected throughout.

Exterior Painting — Siding, trim, stucco, soffits, fascia, doors and garage doors - washed, repaired and repainted to stand up to Front Range sun, wind and hail.

Deck, Fence & Wood Staining — Decks, fences, railings, log and natural wood siding stripped, cleaned and re-stained - so the wood is protected, not just recoloured.

Drywall Patching & Texture Matching — Holes, cracks, water spots and old repairs patched and re-textured to match the wall - then painted, so nobody can find where the damage was.

Popcorn Ceiling Removal — Dated popcorn and acoustic ceilings scraped off, the surface repaired and re-textured or smoothed, and the ceiling painted - with the room sealed off first.

Wallpaper Removal & Hanging — Old wallpaper and border stripped, the adhesive washed off and the wall repaired and primed for paint - or new wallpaper hung straight and seamless.

Siding, Trim & Finish Carpentry — Rotted trim, fascia and siding boards replaced, doors and interior trim swapped out, and finish carpentry done - then painted to match in the same job.

Commercial Painting — Restaurants, offices, retail and condo communities - interior and exterior repaints scheduled around your hours so you stay open.

Every job starts with a free in-person estimate from Dave himself, with the time, the paint and labor, and a prep list in writing. He has been painting around Colorado Springs for more than 40 years.

Colorado Springs painting questions

Do you work in every part of Colorado Springs?

Yes - north, south, east and west, from Briargate and Northgate to the Broadmoor area, the Westside, Old North End, Powers corridor and Stetson Hills. Dave is based on the north side of the city.

My house was built before 1978. What should I know?

Homes from before 1978 may have lead-based paint under newer coats. Federal EPA rules govern how anyone paid to sand, scrape or cut into those painted surfaces must contain and clean up the work. Mention the age of the house when you call so the estimate accounts for it.

Can you help get my house ready to sell?

Yes. Pre-listing work is a big part of what Brush Masters does - neutral repaints, trim touch-ups, patched and re-textured drywall, and popcorn or wallpaper removal. Several local realtors refer their clients to Dave.
