Local conditions
What painting in Broomfield involves
Builder paint and caulk together
Anthem and Broadlands homes from the 2000s are now replacing builder paint and caulk at the same time. Doing the caulk properly is what makes the next coat last.
Wind at the edge of the foothills
Broomfield takes strong downslope winds, which shape when a crew can spray and how fast a coat dries. The homes with the best mountain views take the most of it.
Interlocken offices
Interlocken and the US 36 corridor hold office and flex buildings, where interior work runs after hours and common areas are phased so tenants keep working.

Questions
Broomfield painting questions
Does Broomfield wind affect painting?
Yes. Wind speeds drying, blows dust into wet paint and can rule out spraying. We schedule elevations around it instead of pushing through a bad day.
Do you work with Anthem's design review?
Yes. We prepare the color submission and wait for approval before booking the crew.
How many Broomfield homes might have lead paint?
By the Census count, 21.7% of homes in Broomfield predate 1980, and any of those could hide lead paint (banned for homes in 1978). Tell us your year built.
