Painting in Lafayette, CO

Both. Exterior repaints are the most common request — usually after a re-side, a re-roof, or an insurance restoration, when the new work makes the old paint look tired. But Red Hawk also paints interiors: whole-home repaints, single rooms, ceilings, trim and doors. Interior work includes drop-cloth coverage of all furniture, low-VOC paints, and a same-day touch-up pass before the crew leaves. Interior projects are also the easiest to schedule in winter, when exterior painting isn't possible in Colorado.

Yes, and in most interior projects it's the step that decides whether the finished wall looks right. Red Hawk patches holes, cracks and water-damage cutouts, then matches the existing texture — orange peel, knockdown or smooth — so the repair disappears under the finish rather than showing as a flat spot in raking light. Texture matching is done before primer, and the patched area is primed separately so the paint sheen stays even across old and new surface.

Yes. Front doors, garage doors, interior doors and trim get surface prep, primer, and a two-coat finish in your choice of color and sheen, on steel, fiberglass or wood. Metal railings, gates and fences get rust treatment first, then primer and a two-coat finish in either oil or a rust-inhibitive acrylic — galvanized, aluminum and steel all need slightly different prep, and skipping that step is why most repainted railings fail within a season.
