Frequently Asked Questions
Should I paint before or after roof replacement?
Paint before roof replacement when possible. Roofers work from ladders and scaffolding that can damage fresh paint. If painting after, wait 1-2 weeks for debris cleanup.
How much does exterior painting cost in Denver?
Single story: $3,000-$7,000. Two story: $5,000-$12,000. DIY materials cost $1,000-$3,000. Prices vary by home size, siding condition, and paint quality.
What paint colors work with a new roof?
Choose paint colors that contrast with your roof. Dark roofs pair well with light or medium siding colors. Light roofs work with both light and dark siding. Use white trim for most color combinations.
How long does exterior paint last in Denver?
Exterior paint lasts 5-10 years in Denver. UV exposure, temperature swings, and hail can accelerate fading and peeling. Annual inspections and prompt touch-ups extend paint life.
