Wind exposure
Steady wind dries out and cracks caulk, drives rain into joints and wears the windward sides of a house first.
Service Area / Wellington, CO · Larimer County
Painters in Wellington.
Wellington sits north of Fort Collins on I-25, with open country on every side and neighborhoods that have grown quickly. Wind is the main thing a painter plans around here, and Quigley Construction schedules and preps for it.
Painting in Wellington
What homes here are up against.
Newer subdivisions
Most Wellington homes are newer construction. As builder paint thins out, the first repaint is the chance to prep and coat the siding properly.
Fences and decks
Wind and sun gray out unprotected wood quickly. Regular staining keeps fences and decks from drying, cracking and splitting.

Questions, answered.
- Which sides of a house wear out first?
- The windward and sun-facing sides. Around Wellington the north and west walls usually take the wind and the south and west take the sun, so inspect those first.
- Can painting be done on windy days?
- Spraying outdoors in wind causes overspray to drift and paint to dry before it bonds. Exterior work is planned around calmer conditions, or brushed and rolled where spraying is not practical.
