Local conditions
What painting in Lone Tree involves
Stucco needs a breathable coating
Stucco with stone accents is common. Hairline cracks get filled first, and the coating has to let moisture move through the wall instead of trapping it behind a film.
High and exposed
RidgeGate and Heritage Hills sit on open ground, so south and west walls take intense afternoon sun and fade faster than the rest.
Construction next door
Parts of RidgeGate are still being built, so finished homes sit beside active sites. Grading dust settles on wet paint, which is one more reason we wash first and check the wind before a spray day.
Townhomes and condos near the light rail
RidgeGate and the Lincoln Station area include townhome and condo buildings where exterior work is managed by an association. We price those by building and phase.

Clean it, fill and bridge the cracks, then apply a breathable masonry or elastomeric coating chosen for how much the wall moves. The wrong product traps moisture and peels.
Do Lone Tree neighborhoods require color approval?
Most do. We prepare samples and the submission early so approval does not hold up the schedule.
Do I need to worry about lead paint in Lone Tree?
Usually not. Only 0.9% of homes in Lone Tree predate 1980 by the Census count; lead paint was banned for homes in 1978.
