Painting

A paint job is ninety percent preparation and ten percent color. Anyone can roll a wall. What separates a finish that still looks sharp in five years from one that's peeling by next spring is the work that happens before a drop of paint comes out of the can. Roof Technologies approaches residential painting as a craft: clean prep, premium materials, patient application, and a walkthrough that doesn't end until you're satisfied.

Interior Painting

The inside of your home is where color lives most closely with you, and where small imperfections show under lamplight at the end of the day. Our interior process is built around protecting your space and delivering a finish that holds up to real life: pets, kids, shoes, furniture.

• Full Masking and Protection: Furniture is moved or tented, floors are covered with canvas drops, trim and fixtures are taped, and outlets are removed rather than painted around.
• Wall Repair: Nail holes, dents, cracked drywall seams, and settled corners are patched, sanded smooth, and primed so they disappear under the topcoat.
• Sanding and Dust Control: Walls are lightly sanded to break the sheen of existing paint and give the new coat something to grip. We vacuum and tack-cloth before rolling.
• Primer Where It Counts: Stain-blocking primer on water marks, bonding primer on glossy cabinets and doors, drywall primer on fresh patches. Primer is what makes topcoats look consistent.
• Two Full Coats: Cut in with a brush, rolled with the right nap, and back-rolled for even sheen. No one-coat shortcuts over a dramatic color change.

Exterior Painting

Colorado exteriors face a specific punishment list: intense UV at altitude, wild daily temperature swings, driving mountain winds, hail, and winter freeze-thaw. Exterior paint fails from the substrate up when any of those are ignored. Our exterior prep goes deeper than most homeowners expect.

• Pressure Washing: Every painted surface gets washed down to remove chalking, dust, pollen, cobwebs, and anything else that would keep paint from bonding. Mildew-prone shaded walls get a cleaning solution first.
• Scraping and Feathering: Any paint that isn't firmly attached is going to fail regardless of what goes over it. Loose paint is scraped, edges are feathered with sanding so repairs don't show as ridges.
• Caulking: Open seams at trim, window frames, corner boards, and siding transitions are re-caulked with high-quality acrylic urethane that stays flexible through temperature swings.
• Wood Repair: Rotted trim, damaged fascia, and soft spots are cut out and replaced before any paint is applied. Painting over rotten wood is a guaranteed callback we'd rather avoid.
• Priming: Bare wood, metal flashings, and bleeding knots get a spot prime with the appropriate product. Full-coat priming on previously unpainted new construction or significant surface changes.
• Two Coats, Sprayed and Back-Brushed: Spray application followed by back-brushing on siding and trim works paint into the grain and texture for better adhesion and a richer finished look than spraying alone.

Premium Paint, Not Builder-Grade

We work primarily with Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore. Both offer professional-grade product lines with excellent hide, scrubbability, and color retention. The price gap between economy paint and premium paint is real but small compared to the labor cost of a repaint. We'd rather put two coats of Emerald, Duration, or Aura on your house once than three coats of bargain paint that fades in three summers.

• Sherwin-Williams Emerald, Duration, and SuperPaint for exterior siding and trim.
• Sherwin-Williams ProClassic, Emerald Urethane, and All Surface Enamel for cabinets, doors, and trim.
• Benjamin Moore Aura, Regal Select, and Advance for interior walls and cabinetry where a smooth, self-leveling finish is worth the extra dry time.

Finishes and Where to Use Them

The sheen you choose changes how a color looks and how the surface cleans. Quick guide:

• Flat / Matte: Deepest color, zero glare, hides drywall imperfections best. Ceilings, bedrooms, and low-traffic adult spaces.
• Eggshell: Slight sheen, cleans better than flat. The default choice for most living areas and hallways.
• Satin: Noticeably shinier and more scrubbable. Kitchens, bathrooms, kids' rooms, and any wall that sees hands.
• Semi-Gloss: Durable and cleanable. Standard for interior trim, doors, baseboards, and door casings.
• Gloss: Furniture-grade finish. Front doors, high-end cabinets, and pieces you want to stand out.

Color Consultation

Picking a color from a two-inch swatch under fluorescent store lighting is the fastest way to end up with a room you don't love. We bring real drawdowns to your home, view them in your actual lighting at different times of day, and help you think through how adjacent rooms and exterior elevations will read together. For exteriors, we coordinate with roof color, stucco or siding texture, trim, and front door so the whole home looks intentional.

Specialty Work

• Cabinet Painting: Cabinets are removed, numbered, and sprayed in a controlled environment for a factory-smooth finish. Bonding primer and an enamel topcoat are non-negotiable, or paint won't stick to the old factory conversion varnish.
• Accent Walls: A single dramatic wall done right can transform a room. Deep colors often need a tinted primer and three coats for even hide.
• Masonry and Stucco: Elastomeric or masonry-specific coatings that bridge hairline cracks and breathe properly. Latex house paint on stucco is a common mistake we actively fix.
• Front Doors: Pulled off the hinges, prepped flat, sprayed in the shop for a finish that looks like a car door. Reinstalled with fresh weatherstripping.
• Fences and Deck Staining: Power-washed, dried, and stained with penetrating oil or solid color stain depending on what the wood can still absorb.
• Garage Doors and Metal: Etch-primed and finished with direct-to-metal enamels that won't chalk or flake.

Colorado UV and Altitude

Homes along the Front Range sit above 5,000 feet of elevation, and UV intensity at altitude is significantly higher than at sea level. South- and west-facing elevations take the brunt of it. This is why we push homeowners toward premium exterior product lines rated for high UV: the color and film both have to hold up, and economy paints simply cannot. Dark colors on sun-exposed walls are especially punishing. We'll talk through expected lifespan honestly and help you pick palette choices that will age gracefully.

Cleanup and Warranty

At the end of every project: drops come up, tape is pulled cleanly, fixtures are reinstalled, outlet covers are rehung, and vacuuming happens before we walk out. Extra paint is labeled and left with you for touch-ups. We document the exact product, color code, sheen, and lot number for every room and elevation so you can match perfectly years later.

Every painting project is backed by our workmanship warranty in addition to the manufacturer's coverage on the product. If something fails due to how we applied it, we come back and make it right.

Get a Painting Estimate

Every home is different, and a good estimate starts with seeing it in person. We'll walk the rooms or elevations you want done, talk through color ideas, and send a written, itemized quote that lists exactly what's included: prep, primer, product line, sheen, and number of coats. No surprises on invoice day.
