Northglenn was developed as a planned community starting at the end of the 1950s, and the Census data shows most of its homes went up in the 1960s and 1970s. Similar houses mean similar problems: the same trim details fail in the same places up and down a block.
Many Northglenn houses are several coats deep. Before adding another, we check that the existing layers are still bonded, because a new coat can pull a weak old one off with it.
Older streets have big trees, so a north wall can stay damp and mildewed while the south wall chalks in full sun. Each side gets its own prep.
Many original Northglenn houses are compact single-story ranches, among the quickest exteriors in the north metro to set up. The hours go into fascia, trim and window frames rather than wall area.

Most single-story homes take three to four working days, with heavy scraping or weather adding time. The estimate states the schedule.
Yes. A simple tape adhesion test on each side tells us whether the old layers will hold. If they will not, we say so before quoting, because painting over failing paint just delays the next failure.
By the Census count, 59.1% of homes in Northglenn predate 1980, and any of those could hide lead paint (banned for homes in 1978). Tell us your year built.
