Local conditions
What painting in Strasburg involves
West walls age fastest
Wind and sun on open plains age coatings faster than in the metro, especially on west elevations.
Hard water spotting
Well water from sprinklers can leave mineral staining on lower siding. It has to be cleaned off before painting, and the sprinkler aim fixed.
Everything on the truck
Strasburg is about 35 miles east of downtown Denver, so we load everything on day one: extra primer, caulk and patch material. A run back to the city mid-day is lost painting time.
Wells and sprinklers
Properties on wells often irrigate with hard water, which leaves white mineral bands on the lower siding. That has to come off with the right cleaner before primer, and the sprinkler heads should be redirected.

Questions
Strasburg painting questions
Can you quote the house and the outbuildings together?
Yes, and it is usually cheaper than pricing them separately because it is one trip.
Will paint stick over hard-water stains?
Not reliably. Mineral deposits are cleaned off first, otherwise the new coat can fail in exactly those spots.
How many Strasburg homes might have lead paint?
By the Census count, 27.6% of homes in Strasburg predate 1980, and any of those could hide lead paint (banned for homes in 1978). Tell us your year built.
