Local conditions
What painting in Lochbuie involves
Dust off the plains
Flat, open ground means wind-driven dust. Washing before painting matters as much as the paint itself.
Do the fence at the same time
Fences and sheds take a beating here and are often worth staining in the same trip as the house.
Commuter schedules
Lochbuie sits just east of Brighton along Highway 52 and I-76, and many residents work in the metro. We plan exterior days that do not need anyone home and confirm water and power access ahead of time.
Garage doors and front doors
On newer tract homes, the front door and garage door take the most sun and wear. Refinishing those two alone is an inexpensive way to freshen a house between full repaints.
