House painters in Louisville, Colorado

Louisville is a town of mostly newer homes with a small, well-kept historic core, and the painting needs follow that split. Houses built from the 1990s on, in neighborhoods like Coal Creek Ranch and the areas toward the Davidson Mesa open space, are reaching the age where the original builder-grade exterior paint is at the end of its life and the interiors have been repainted once, if at all. Downtown Louisville and the older streets near Main Street have the kind of wood trim and small details that reward a careful crew.

Elements Painting works out of Berthoud and serves Louisville and the surrounding Boulder County communities.

Painting services for Louisville homes

Interior painting, exterior painting, cabinet painting and refinishing, decorative flake concrete floor coatings for garages and basements, and deck and fence staining and painting. The same five services, the same in-house crews, in every city we serve.

Repainting a 1990s or 2000s Louisville home

Builder-grade exterior paint was never meant to last twenty-plus years of Front Range sun, and on many Louisville homes the first sign is chalking on the sunny sides and peeling at trim joints and the bottoms of siding boards. The right fix is not a quick recoat over the failure. It is washing, scraping to sound material, sanding edges, re-caulking the joints that let the water in, priming bare wood, and then two separate coats with full dry time between them. Done that way, the next repaint is a long way off.

Exterior work in late fall depends on surface temperature and dry conditions. We schedule around weather windows and pause when conditions are not right. Louisville homeowners who call now get the first warm window in spring and can use the winter for the inside.

Interiors and cabinets in Louisville

Many Louisville kitchens from that same building era have solid cabinet boxes under a tired finish. Painting and refinishing the doors and boxes, with the color chosen on your doors in your light, is the usual answer when the boxes are sound. Interior repaints are done room by room with floors covered and furniture draped, so you keep living in the house through the project.

Who shows up

Our crews are in-house. Three lead painters have more than 25 years with the company combined, and there are no day-of subcontractors. William Frates, the owner, writes the estimate, buys the paint in the grade written on it, and does a separate final walk-through with you after the crew does theirs. Every project carries a 5-year limited warranty on craftsmanship, written on the estimate, covering cracking, peeling, or uneven coverage due to workmanship. Elements Painting is insured, and a certificate of insurance is available on request.
