Before
AfterThe job
This two-story home had a decade of Colorado sun baked into its tan siding — chalking paint, faded trim and bare spots where the south wall took the worst of it. The homeowner wanted a full color change to light gray with dark trim, done without a drop of overspray on the windows, concrete or landscaping. We ran the job over several days: wash and dry, prep and mask, spray, then hand-cut every trim line.
The problem
Sun-faded tan siding with chalking paint and worn trim on a two-story home.
Our recommendation
A full prep-and-spray repaint rather than a quick roll-over: pressure wash, scrape and prime the failing areas, mask everything that isn't getting color, then spray two finish coats of exterior acrylic and brush the trim by hand.
The result
A clean, uniform light gray exterior with crisp dark trim lines and no overspray on glass, concrete or landscaping.
