Introduction
Your home’s exterior isn’t just about curb appeal—it’s your first line of defense against Colorado’s intense sun, unpredictable weather, and extreme temperature swings. A fresh coat of high-quality paint does more than make your home look great; it provides essential protection that extends the lifespan of your siding.
At Remod Home Solutions, we believe in doing things the right way. That’s why we partner with Sherwin-Williams, a trusted name in paint innovation, and follow an 8-step prep process to ensure long-lasting results. In this guide, we’ll explore the best Sherwin-Williams exterior paints for Colorado homes, why the state’s unique climate impacts paint longevity, and how our commitment to quality and community sets Remod apart.
1. A Legacy of Excellence: The History of Sherwin-Williams
Founded in 1866, Sherwin-Williams has been a leader in paint innovation for over 150 years. They were among the first companies to develop ready-mixed paint, revolutionizing the industry by offering homeowners and professionals consistent, high-quality coatings. Today, they continue to lead with advanced paint formulas designed for durability, color retention, and environmental responsibility.
Why Remod Chooses Sherwin-Williams:
Industry-Leading Innovation – Their cutting-edge paint technology resists cracking, peeling, and fading.
Superior UV Protection – Ideal for Colorado’s high-altitude climate.
Proven Durability – Ensures long-lasting beauty and performance for our customers.
2. The Colorado Sun: Why It Feels Hotter & What It Does to Paint
If you’ve ever felt like the sun burns a little hotter in Colorado, you’re not imagining things. Due to our high elevation, UV radiation is about 25% stronger here than at sea level. This has a major impact on exterior paint:
How Colorado’s Climate Affects Paint:
Stronger UV Rays: Causes paint to fade faster than in lower-altitude regions.
Drastic Temperature Swings: Can lead to expansion and contraction, causing cracking and peeling.
Dry Air: Speeds up paint curing, which can result in premature wear if not applied correctly.
Choosing high-quality, UV-resistant paint is crucial for maintaining your home’s appearance and protection over time.
3. Choosing the Right Exterior Paint: Sherwin-Williams’ Top 3 Options
When it comes to selecting the best paint for your home, Sherwin-Williams offers a range of options. Here’s how their top three exterior paints compare:
