Even though Denver is in the High Plains and right against the mountains, we still experience some pretty high temperatures. We have higher than average temps compared to the majority of Colorado. The position of your house comes into play as well, and areas of your house with full sun exposure can be 10-15 degrees hotter. This pushes the temperature on your house over 100 degrees in the hottest parts of the summer. These areas of your house are typically affected by sun damage and result in extreme fading.
The hot season lasts for 3.2 months, from June 7 to September 14, with an average daily high temperature above 80°F. The hottest day of the year is July 10, with an average high of 89°F and low of 62°F.

Paint is a great way to protect your home’s exterior, and most important is executing a professional paint job. A quality paint job will last for 10+ year if done properly, and temperature is a large part of that. Painting helps hold your trim and siding together and is very important in protecting your house. The better the paint holds, the more it will protect the trim and siding from being damaged.
Temperatures that are too hot or too cold can drastically affect your paint job from lasting the appropriate length of time.

This is one of the many reasons hiring a professional painter is in your best interest.
