What Vail does to paint
Vail is lower than Summit County at 8,150 feet, in a narrow east-west valley under Vail Mountain. The valley is tight, so north-facing walls stay shaded and wet all winter while the south-facing stucco bakes.
The homes
Vail Village and Lionshead are stucco, timber and painted wood in the alpine style the town was built around in the 1960s. East Vail and West Vail are chalets, duplexes and newer homes, nearly all under an association or the town's design review.
How we work there
The Town of Vail's Design Review Board approves exterior colors and many buildings have their own palette, so we start from what is allowed. Vail is a drive for us, so we take whole exteriors, HOA phases and larger interiors there.

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.

Do you come to Vail?
Yes, for whole exteriors, HOA work and larger interiors. For a single room, a Vail painter is the better call and we will say so.
Do you paint stucco in Vail Village?
Yes. Repairs first, then a masonry or elastomeric coating in a color the Design Review Board and the association allow.
