What Blue River does to paint
At 10,000 feet on wooded lots, Blue River is shaded and the snow stays into May, so north and east sides hold moisture and grow mildew while the few sunny walls chalk. Nights drop below 40 degrees earlier here than in Breckenridge, so the exterior window is tighter.
The homes
Cabins and mountain homes on steep, wooded lots, mostly log, timber and stained wood siding, many of them second homes.
How we work there
We plan Blue River exteriors for July and August, wash and treat mildew before stain goes on, and check lift and scaffold access in the walkthrough, since the lots are steep and the driveways are narrow.
Three ways in, rated like trails.

Interior
Walls, ceilings, trim, doors and cabinets. Furniture covered, edges cut by hand, dust kept to the room we are in.
What's included
Most homes start here
Exterior
Siding, log and timber, stain on decks and fences. Washed, scraped, sanded, primed, then two coats of the product the elevation calls for.
What's included
Advanced
Commercial and HOA
Townhome rows, storefronts, offices and common areas, scheduled around tenants and the season, with one point of contact.
What's included
The mountain is hard on paint.
A coat that lasts twelve years in Denver can go in four up here. The difference is almost never the paint. It is the prep under it.
- Ultraviolet
- About a third stronger at 9,000 feet than at sea level. It chalks and fades a coat that would last years down the hill.
- Freeze and thaw
- Most nights from October to May. Water gets behind paint that was put over unprimed wood and lifts it off by spring.
- The season
- Exterior work needs nights above about 40 degrees, so the window is short. We book it early and prep in the shoulder weeks.
Asked in Blue River.
The rest of the questions, about cost, timing and colors, are on the FAQ page.
Is Blue River too high to paint?
No. The season is shorter, so we book it early, watch the overnight lows and use products rated for the elevation.
Why does my north wall turn dark?
Mildew, from shade and moisture. We wash it off, treat it and use a stain with a mildewcide before it comes back.
