Trim, Baseboard & Door Painting in South Aurora, Centennial, Parker - Colorado

Late April through mid-October. The deciding factor isn't the calendar, it's temperature: overnight lows need to stay above 45°F for the paint to cure properly. In midsummer we work the south and west elevations early in the morning, because by midday those surfaces can reach 140°F. April and October are also the best price window, since the market runs 15 to 25 percent higher from May through September.

Trim is quoted per linear foot and doors are quoted per door, so the number depends on how much trim you have and its profile. As a benchmark, adding trim and ceilings to an interior repaint moves the project from roughly $2–$3 per square foot to around $4.70 per square foot. Molding profile, the condition of the old enamel and whether oil-based paint has to come off all affect the final price.

Interior runs $2.50 to $6.00 per square foot of surface painted, and exterior runs $3.50 to $6.10. The ranges are wide because price is driven by ceiling height, how much prep is needed and how many colors are involved — not by house size alone. A 2,000 sq ft Aurora interior typically lands between $4,000 and $10,200. We give a free written estimate broken out line by line.

Two to four days for a full trim and door package in a 3-bedroom home. If you only want interior doors painted — typically 8 to 12 of them — plan on 1 to 2 days. Multi-piece crown molding, heavy sanding of old enamel and stripping oil-based paint all push the schedule toward the longer end of that range.

In Centennial, Parker, Highlands Ranch, Lone Tree, Castle Rock and Castle Pines, almost always yes. Architectural committees usually take 14 to 60 days to respond. We help prepare and submit the color approval request as part of the exterior process, so that review window runs in parallel and doesn't push your start date back.

Yes, but only after we test it. We run an adhesion test to find out whether the existing enamel is oil or water based, because that determines the primer. Oil-based trim needs a blocking bonding primer before any waterborne enamel goes on. Skipping that test is why so much repainted trim peels in strips a year later.

Only after an asbestos test. Colorado law requires inspection before disturbing building materials no matter what year the building went up, and lab analysis is the only way to know what's in the texture. Testing costs $350 to $500 per material and adds 3 to 5 business days. If the result comes back above threshold, a state-certified abatement contractor must remove it — not a painter.

No, when the right product and cure time are used. We finish doors with a high-durability block-resistant satin or semi-gloss enamel and give it time to harden before the door goes back into regular use. We also paint the top and bottom edges, where moisture gets in and swells a door, and reinstall stops and hardware so it closes properly.

Interiors, yes, all year — and winter is often the best time to do it. There's less wait for a start date and the market prices interior work roughly 10 to 20 percent lower than in peak season. Exterior painting is not recommended from November through March, because overnight temperatures won't stay above 45°F long enough for the coating to cure.

No. Cabinets are a separate service with different products and a different process — degreasing, bonding primer and spray-applied cabinet enamel, not trim paint. A kitchen runs $3,500–$8,500 and takes 5 to 7 working days. If you want both done, we'll quote them as separate lines so you can see exactly what each one costs.

If the boxes are structurally sound and the layout works, yes. Painting runs $3,500 to $8,500 and takes 5 to 7 working days, while replacing cabinets in Denver metro costs $15,000 to $35,000 and takes weeks. If the boxes are swollen from water damage, or it's peeling melamine or thermofoil, replacement is the honest answer and we'll tell you so.

They need repair before painting. We don't paint trim with unrepaired water or termite damage, because enamel over soft wood fails fast and hides a problem that keeps spreading. Show us the spot at the estimate and we'll tell you honestly whether the piece can be filled and sealed or has to be replaced first — and whether that's carpentry we handle.

Eight to twelve years with premium product and proper preparation. South and west elevations fade and chalk first because of high-altitude UV exposure. On stucco the numbers differ: a standard acrylic lasts 4 to 7 years, while a correctly applied two-coat elastomeric system lasts 8 to 15 years. Most homes reach repaint condition — peeling, chalking or faded color — around the 8 to 12 year mark.

All of our work is residential — we don't take commercial or office projects. Estimates are on site, seven days a week from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Decks every 2 to 3 years, fences every 3 to 5. That's more frequent than milder climates because of over 300 sunny days, high-altitude UV and more than 100 freeze-thaw cycles a year. The simplest signal: when water stops beading on the wood, it's time. New wood in Colorado should be sealed 3 to 6 months after installation, not a year later.

With a spot touch-up, side light will almost always reveal something. The only truly invisible result comes from painting the full wall corner to corner after the patch is textured and primed. We quote both options and you decide. We also seal every patch with primer first, because fresh compound absorbs differently than the old wall and will ghost through otherwise.
