High-elevation sun
Sunlight is more intense at altitude. Paint and stain break down faster here than down in the valley, especially on south-facing walls and decks.

Painters in Estes Park.
At about 7,500 feet on the edge of Rocky Mountain National Park, Estes Park is harder on exterior finishes than anywhere else in the region. Quigley Construction paints and stains homes and cabins here.
Painting in Estes Park
What homes here are up against.
Log homes, cabins and cedar
Log and wood-sided homes depend on stain and sealant more than paint. Keeping up with the stain and checking the caulk and chinking protects the wood itself.
A short season
Cold nights and early snow leave a narrow window for exterior work, so mountain projects have to be planned well ahead.

Questions, answered.
- How often do log homes need to be re-stained?
- It depends on exposure and the product, and sunny walls go first. If the finish looks faded or water no longer beads on it, it is time to clean and recoat before the wood grays.
- When can exterior painting be done in Estes Park?
- Mainly summer into early fall, when days and nights are warm enough for coatings to cure.
