Windsor Painters
Expert Windsor Painting Artisans

Windsor takes more weather than anywhere else we work.

Open Weld County plains with nothing to slow the wind, some of the most active hail in the state, and enough storm history that most people here can name the year their roof got replaced. The 2008 tornado is still a reference point in conversation. If you own a home in Windsor, you already know your exterior is fighting something your friends in Boulder are not.

We are based in Longmont and we drive up for the work that justifies it: full exteriors, whole-home interiors, storm and insurance repaints, and the waterfront homes out in Water Valley. If you need a small interior job done next week, someone closer will serve you better and we will say so. For the bigger work, crews get chosen on process rather than proximity.

Storm Damage and Insurance Work

Hail does not just dent siding. It scars and fractures the coating film, and the damage often looks minor from the driveway while the protective layer is actually gone. Wind then drives moisture into every opening that opens up. A year later the homeowner is dealing with rot they did not know was starting.

We document damage properly for adjuster review. That means clear, specific, professionally worded descriptions of what failed and why, by damage category and by elevation, rather than a line item that says "paint." Adjusters approve what is documented. Vague scopes get reduced.

If you are working through a claim, bring us in early. The difference between a supplement that gets approved and one that gets cut is almost always the quality of the documentation, and most painters do not write it.

Water Valley and the Waterfront Homes

Waterfront property is its own problem. Homes along the Water Valley lakes take a different exposure than the same house three streets inland: constant wind off open water, more reflected UV, and higher humidity cycling at the substrate. Lake-facing elevations fail first and they fail faster.

If you own one of these, the answer is not a better brand of paint. It is treating the lake-facing side as a separate scope with its own prep, its own caulk spec, and often a different coat count than the rest of the house. We price it that way because pretending all four elevations are the same is how a five-year job gets sold as a twelve-year job.

Metro District Approval, Handled

Water Valley, RainDance, Highpointe Estates, Greenspire, Winter Farm, and most everything built in Windsor in the last twenty years runs architectural review with an approved color palette. A lot of homeowners find that out after they have already chosen a color.

We prepare the submittal package as part of the job: manufacturer, color names and codes, placement by architectural element, and the photos or elevation drawings your committee expects. If your board pushes back, we help you answer them.

The Builder-Grade Repaint Wave

Almost all of Windsor was built after 2000, which puts a large share of the town in one of two spots.

Built 2015 and later. RainDance, Greenspire, the newer Water Valley phases. These are hitting seven to ten years, exactly when builder-grade paint gives out. Production builders apply one thin coat of low-solids product over factory prime. It passes the final walkthrough and was never built for Weld County exposure. South and west elevations go first.

Built 2000 to 2012. The earlier Water Valley phases, Highpointe, Jacoby Farm, Westwood Village. These are on their second repaint, and the question is no longer color. It is whether the siding is still sound. At twenty years, prep is the whole job. Anything soft gets replaced before it gets coated, or you are paying to paint rot.

Where We Work in Windsor

Water Valley and Pelican Lakes. Waterfront and near-water homes, premium finishes, exposure that needs elevation-specific scoping.

RainDance and Greenspire. Newer fiber cement and stucco, metro district approval on all of it, builder-grade repaints coming due.

Highpointe Estates, Winter Farm, and Steeplechase. Established newer neighborhoods, full exterior repaints, mixed substrates.

Jacoby Farm, Westwood Village, Poudre Heights, and Country Farms. The 2000s builds now at the age where siding condition decides the outcome.

Ptarmigan. Golf course property straddling the Windsor and Fort Collins line, with its own review process.

Historic downtown and the older blocks near Main Street. Windsor was founded in 1890 and grew up around sugar beets and the rail line. The original housing stock predates 1978, which means lead paint protocol applies. We are EPA Lead-Safe certified and we follow it as written.

Acreage and outbuildings east of town. Barns, shops, and detached garages included. We have the equipment for tall and awkward.

Interior Painting in Windsor

Walls, ceilings, trim, doors, and cabinet refinishing. You get a written scope naming every surface and every finish before we start, so nobody is arguing later about what was included.

Exterior Painting in Windsor

Wash, scrape and sand to sound substrate, spot prime, caulk what moves with elastomeric, replace what is rotten, then coat. Windsor wind also makes spray days a judgment call, and we will tell you honestly when conditions are wrong rather than putting a compromised finish on your house to stay on schedule.

FAQ'S

Will insurance cover repainting after hail damage? Often, yes, depending on your policy and the extent of the damage. Hail fractures the coating film even when the siding itself looks intact, and that damage is legitimate and documentable. What gets approved usually comes down to how well it was written up. We provide detailed, category-by-category damage descriptions for adjuster review.

You are based in Longmont. Why hire you in Windsor? For a small job, you probably should not, and we will tell you that. For full exteriors, storm and insurance work, or waterfront property in Water Valley, crews get chosen on process rather than proximity.

Do I need HOA approval to paint my house in Windsor? Almost certainly. Water Valley, RainDance, Highpointe, Greenspire, and most subdivisions built in the last twenty years run architectural review with approved palettes. We prepare the submittal as part of the project.

Why does the lake side of my house look worse than the rest? Constant wind off open water, more reflected UV, and higher moisture cycling at the substrate. Lake-facing elevations fail first. They should be scoped and priced separately rather than treated like the other three sides.

My house is only eight years old. Why does it need paint? Builder-grade paint is one thin coat of low-solids product, priced to pass a walkthrough rather than to last. In Windsor's wind, hail, and UV exposure, seven to ten years is a normal life for it.
