Aluminum surfaces. Finished to hold.
Colorado UV and freeze-thaw cycles are rough on aluminum. We use adhesion-promoting primers and flexible topcoats built for metal — so the finish bonds, flexes, and holds color instead of chalking off in two seasons.
Prep is the step most crews skip.
Aluminum surfaces fail when painters skip primer. We use metal-rated adhesion promoters before any topcoat — the same step most one-coat crews skip because it adds time. On Colorado Springs homes, that prep step is the difference between a finish that lasts and one that flakes off after two winters.
We paint aluminum siding, trim, gutters, downspouts, and fascia. If it's metal and on the outside of your house, we've worked on it. We match color to existing siding, work around landscaping, and clean up before we leave.
Colorado's altitude means higher UV intensity and more dramatic freeze-thaw cycles than most of the country. Standard exterior paint on aluminum handles neither well. Our topcoats are flexible — they don't crack at seams when the metal expands in summer heat and contracts in January cold. That's the technical reason the finish holds here when others don't.
Four steps, no shortcuts.

Jonathan matched the color on our aluminum trim to within a shade of our siding. Looked better than new when he was done.
What homeowners ask us before they book.
Can you paint aluminum siding that's chalky or oxidized?
Yes — we sand and prime before any topcoat goes on. Chalky surface means the old paint has broken down; skipping prep means the new coat peels in a year. We sand the oxidation, apply a metal-rated adhesion primer, and then topcoat. The prep step is what makes the finish hold on weathered aluminum.
Do you match the existing color?
Yes. Bring a chip or we'll pull a color match from the existing surface. We can also help you pick a new color if you're going in a different direction. Color consultation is part of the walk-through — no charge, no obligation, just a straight conversation about what'll look right on your house.
Does painting aluminum siding add value or just look better?
Both. Painted aluminum siding prevents moisture infiltration at seams and joints, extends the surface life, and yes — curb appeal matters when you go to sell. A properly primed and topcoated aluminum surface protects the substrate as much as it updates the look. Call (719) 413-7933 if you want to talk through what your specific surface needs.
Ready for a finish that actually holds?
Call Jonathan directly. We'll walk the job, quote the aluminum work, and tell you what prep the surface actually needs — not what's fastest.
