1. What areas of Colorado do you serve?
We serve the Denver metro area and many surrounding communities, including Aurora, Lakewood, Arvada, Westminster, Thornton, Broomfield, Littleton, Highlands Ranch, Parker, Castle Rock, and more. If you are in Colorado and need painters, Painter Hotline will work to connect you with a trusted local crew.
2. Do you offer free painting estimates?
Yes. All estimates are free and come with a clear written scope. We review your goals, walk the property, answer questions, and explain the recommended products for Coloradoβs climate.
3. What makes Painter Hotline different from other Colorado painters?
Our founder created Painter Hotline after dealing with no-shows and poor workmanship from multiple painting companies. Every painter we work with signs a Letter of Commitment to show up on time, stay professional, protect your property, and deliver quality workmanship. We focus on accountability, communication, and long-term relationships.
4. What does your 5-year workmanship warranty cover?
Most projects include a 5-year workmanship warranty that covers peeling, blistering, or failure caused by improper preparation or application. If there is an issue related to our work, we return and make it right.
5. What residential painting services do you offer in Colorado?
We provide interior and exterior house painting, trim and baseboard painting, cabinet painting, deck and fence staining, drywall repair, vaulted ceilings, garages, and full home color makeovers for Colorado homes and townhomes.
6. Do Colorado homes need special exterior paint?
Yes. High elevation, strong UV exposure, snow, and temperature swings are hard on paint. We recommend premium exterior paints and primers that are formulated for UV protection, flexibility, and moisture resistance to stand up to Colorado weather.
7. Can you help me choose paint colors?
Absolutely. We offer color help and can suggest palettes that work well with Colorado light, neighborhood styles, and your existing finishes. We also help with HOA-friendly exterior color choices.
8. How long does a typical paint job take?
Most single-room interior projects take one day. Whole-home interiors usually take 2β4 days. Exterior projects often take 2β5 days depending on prep and weather. Large commercial projects are scheduled by phase.
9. Are your painters insured in Colorado?
Yes. Painter Hotline is fully insured, and every painter we work with must maintain active liability insurance to protect you and your property.
10. Do you paint stucco, brick, and siding?
Yes. We paint fiber cement siding, wood siding, stucco, brick, block, and metal. Each surface gets the correct prep and primer designed for that material.
11. What prep work is included in your painting services?
Prep work can include scraping, sanding, caulking, patching, drywall repair, light carpentry, power washing, priming, and masking. Quality prep is the most important part of a long-lasting paint job.
12. What happens if the weather changes during exterior painting?
Colorado weather can shift quickly. We monitor forecasts and only paint when temperature and moisture levels are safe for the products we use. If conditions change unexpectedly, we pause and resume when it's safe so your warranty is protected.
13. Do you offer cabinet painting and refinishing?
Yes. We clean, sand, prime, and spray cabinets using professional coatings designed for kitchens and bathrooms. This gives a durable, furniture-like finish that can completely modernize your space.
14. Do you stain decks and fences in Colorado?
Yes. We stain and seal decks, railings, pergolas, and fences. Coloradoβs dry climate and sun can dry out wood quickly, so proper staining helps protect your investment.

Yes. We can use low-VOC and zero-VOC paints that reduce odor and are a great option for families, kids, and anyone sensitive to strong paint smells.

Yes. We can use color-matching tools and paint samples to get very close to your existing colors so touch-ups or partial repaints blend in smoothly.
