Re: Help With Exterior Paint In The Denver , CO Area
I personally like ICI paints, and there is no way to determine how much, or how about this, got a 2 story house, want the first floor done in 12X12 slate tile.. how much will it cost? Just talk with the contractors to see what they say, you should be able to determine their worth (as in hiring them by their knowledge) let them name their price.

Re: Help With Exterior Paint In The Denver , CO Area
Ball park figure....Depending on rooflines,ladders sets, and thirstiness of siding is anywhere from $2,800 to 4,000.
I would recommend using Superpaint on the body of the house. One brushed coat and a dust is all you need. Use Resilence or Duration on your trim. *Guys are gonna come at you with there sales pitches and how Kelly Moore is the best, its not true. Use a brand thats trusted, everyone here will vouch for superpaint. Go with someone that you trust, not the cheapest bidder. Good luck and hope it turns out. |

Re: Help With Exterior Paint In The Denver , CO Area
It'll cost you about $2500 to have a pro paint your house.
(whitepages.com and Google maps-street view) If that's lap siding, I'd just brush it out though, unless you don't mind cleaning your neighbors windows (and cars). I think some people (not necessarily you) like to know how much a pro would cost, so that when the job starts sucking..they can keep telling themselves how much money they're saving. |

Re: Help With Exterior Paint In The Denver , CO Area
Cover up the brick good too.
A DIY'er up the street from me sprayed his house and CREAMED his front brick. I keep meaning to take a picture of it to post here... kinda funny (to me anyhow...probably not to him) He could get it off with a power washer, but I'm betting he don't know that. |

Re: Help With Exterior Paint In The Denver , CO Area
What kind of siding to you have? More importantly what kind of shape is it and its current coating in? I would spend more time talking to a contractor about what and how they will prep and paint your home. What kind of paint is to be used should be clearly stated in the bid. I wouldn't use anything less than superpaint because if you are putting all that labor (or money for labor) into painting your home, you want to put a good paint on to make it last. There are a lot of good paints out there. Manor hall, SP, Resilience, Duration, Aura, Accolades. Basically paints in the same price point are comparable. The higher sheen, the more resistant to chalking and fading and the easier to clean. Smooth cedar you can get away with Satin body if you want and can deal with that look. Might want to have the contractor check for moisture especially if the home is older.

Re: Help With Exterior Paint In The Denver , CO Area
Thanks guys to those that have helped. No need to waste your time posting here, with your help I have most of it figured out. Many of you suggested Superpaint, that's what will be used. Thanks again.
