Pressure Washing
The exterior was pressure washed as part of the preparation for the repair and painting work.
Hank wanted to refresh his home's fading red exterior. A closer inspection revealed damaged wood that needed more than a new coat of paint. Positive Painting Pros replaced the damaged wood and completed a same-color repaint in Flower Pot Red, with detailed preparation throughout the six-day project.
This two-story home in Longmont's Prospect neighborhood needed attention to fading paint, peeling areas, water damage, and wood rot. Hank wanted to keep the existing color, so the project centered on restoring the exterior and preparing it properly for a fresh coat.
During the initial walkthrough, Positive Painting Pros pointed out damaged wood that Hank had not realized was there. Once work began, the team uncovered additional damage. The repair scope became an important part of the project before the repaint could move forward.
These project photos document the home before and after the exterior repaint. The color remained the same, while the work addressed the deteriorated paint and damaged wood.

The initial walkthrough revealed wood damage, but the full extent became clearer once the crew began working. Rather than simply painting over those areas, the team discussed the available options with Hank.
Together, they decided to replace all of the damaged wood identified during the project. That decision made wood replacement a central part of the preparation for the new exterior finish.
Hank was particularly impressed by the level of preparation. The crew combined surface cleaning and paint preparation with wood repairs before applying the new finish.

The defining part of this project was the preparation: identifying damage, talking through the repair options, and replacing the affected wood before completing the paint work.
According to the project notes, Hank was impressed by how much preparation went into the work. The conversations about the damaged wood helped him understand the condition of the exterior and take part in deciding how to address it.
This Prospect project shows why even a same-color repaint can involve substantial work before painting begins. The finished color was familiar, but the preparation included repairs the homeowner had not originally anticipated.
