Proudly Serving Boulder, Fort Collins , Longmont, and the Surrounding Colorado Suburbs

In the heart of SE Longmont, Colorado, Elements Painting Inc. took on a comprehensive exterior transformation of a 2,000-square-foot residential home. The scope was full and layered—complete siding and trim repaint, brick prep and paint, and deck repairs with fresh stain. Over four focused days, our team prepped, replaced, and restored key exterior elements to increase the property’s curb appeal and protect its structure for years to come.

This project was contracted at $7,000, delivering major visual and structural upgrades without the cost or complexity of a full renovation. The home, although structurally sound, was three years overdue for maintenance. Weather had left its mark: fading siding, failing paint, water-damaged deck boards, and tired brick that needed more than just a rinse. Elements Painting Inc. stepped in with a plan—and the craftsmanship—to make everything shine again.

The homeowner—a single mother—came to Elements Painting Inc. with a clear mission: give her house the facelift it deserved while protecting its value long-term. She wasn’t new to working with us. In fact, she’d hired Elements Painting Inc. in the past and reached out again because she trusted our work ethic, our transparency, and our attention to detail.

This wasn’t just about aesthetics. The home had gone too long without proper upkeep, and the signs were everywhere: flaking paint, soft deck boards, moisture creeping into the trim, and brick that looked worn and uneven. She wanted it addressed all at once—but efficiently. It was important that the work be done quickly, cleanly, and with minimal disruption to her day-to-day life.

We took that seriously. During the walkthrough, we made sure she understood exactly what would happen, when, and how much it would cost. From the first day of prep to the last stroke of stain, we treated her home like our own.

• Siding Prep & Painting: Scraped and sanded all failing paint, spot-primed bare surfaces, sealed gaps with high-grade caulk, and applied Benjamin Moore MoorGard in Swiss Coffee.
• Trim Painting: Used Benjamin Moore MoorGlo in Black for crisp contrast on trim, fascia boards, and door frames.
• Brick Restoration & Painting: Power-washed the entire brick surface, primed using masonry primer for adhesion and breathability, then applied Benjamin Moore MoorLife in Swiss Coffee for a cohesive finish.
• Deck Repairs: Removed and replaced rotting deck boards and handrail tops with pressure-treated lumber, ensuring structural safety and visual consistency.
• Deck Staining: Applied Woodlux Solid Stain in Creekside Green to all deck surfaces and rails for a rich, durable finish that ties into the home’s updated look.

• Benjamin Moore MoorGard – Swiss Coffee: Used on all siding to create a soft, welcoming backdrop with excellent weather resistance and color retention.
• Benjamin Moore MoorGlo – Black: Applied to trim, fascia, and accents for sharp edges, bold contrast, and durable protection.
• Benjamin Moore MoorLife – Swiss Coffee: Used on brick surfaces after power-washing and priming, delivering breathable coverage that holds up against moisture and temperature changes.
• Woodlux Solid Stain – Creekside Green: Used on deck boards and handrails to provide a protective, slip-resistant finish with a natural look.
• Masonry Primer: Applied to all brick surfaces to ensure proper paint adhesion and minimize future peeling or cracking.
• Painter’s tape, drop cloths, caulk, spackle, and pressure washer: Used throughout prep and application stages to ensure a clean, professional result.

By the end of Day 4, the house was visibly transformed. The siding looked fresh and smooth. The trim, now a sharp black, gave the whole structure a modern edge. The brick—once dull and faded—was clean, uniform, and full of new life. And the deck? It went from borderline unsafe to a finished, walkable outdoor space that matched the quality of the rest of the home.

“It’s everything I hoped for—and more. You guys are always on point,” she said as we packed up.
