Painting
Walls That Look Clean and Even
Interior and Exterior Painting Services in Aurora, Colorado
Your walls collect scuffs, fading, and stains from years of use, and once the paint starts to chip or peel, the drywall or siding underneath becomes exposed to moisture. In Aurora, intense sun and dry air cause exterior paint to fade faster than in more humid climates, while interior walls near kitchens and bathrooms show buildup from cooking grease and steam. Rodvar 5280 LLC handles interior and exterior painting throughout Aurora, preparing surfaces so the new coats bond properly and last longer than a quick brush-over.
Painting work involves scraping loose material, filling cracks and holes, sanding rough spots, and priming bare areas before applying finish coats. Exterior jobs require pressure washing to remove dirt and chalked paint, and any rotted trim is replaced before primer goes on. In Aurora, where temperature swings are common, using paint rated for the local climate prevents early cracking and peeling.
If your walls need a refresh or the exterior trim is starting to rot, reach out to Rodvar 5280 LLC to schedule a painting consultation in Aurora.
How the Painting Work Gets Done
The process starts with moving furniture away from walls and covering floors with drop cloths, followed by patching any holes or cracks with joint compound or exterior-grade filler. In Aurora, older homes sometimes have multiple layers of paint that need to be scraped back to a stable surface before new coats are applied. Primer is brushed on anywhere the old paint has peeled down to bare wood or drywall.
Once the job is complete, your walls will have an even sheen with no visible brush marks or roller lines, and the trim will be clean where it meets the wall. Exterior surfaces will shed water instead of absorbing it, and colors will look uniform across the entire facade.
Finish coats are rolled or sprayed depending on the surface texture, and edges are cut in by hand around windows, doors, and trim. Caulking is applied where gaps have opened between siding boards or around window frames, and all hardware is removed and reinstalled after the paint has dried. Cleanup includes wiping down baseboards and removing tape and plastic sheeting.
Questions About Paint Work Come Up Often
Homeowners in Aurora often want to know how long the work takes, what prep is involved, and how to choose the right paint for different surfaces. These five questions cover the practical concerns that affect both appearance and durability.
How long does it take to paint a room?
Most single rooms take one to two days including prep, priming, and two finish coats. Larger spaces or rooms with heavy damage take longer because more patching and sanding is required.
What if the walls have texture?
Textured walls are rolled with a thick nap roller to push paint into the peaks and valleys. Smooth finishes require a shorter nap and more attention to eliminate roller marks.
Why does exterior paint fail faster on some sides of the house?
South and west-facing walls in Aurora get the most sun exposure, which breaks down the paint binder faster and causes fading and chalking. Using higher-grade paint on those sides extends the lifespan.
When should trim be replaced instead of painted?
Trim should be replaced if the wood is soft to the touch or if large sections have rotted through. Painting over damaged wood only hides the problem temporarily.
What happens if old paint is peeling?
Peeling paint is scraped back to a stable edge, sanded smooth, and primed before new coats are applied. Painting over loose material causes the new finish to peel within months.
