Stucco & Painting in Olney Springs

Exterior work in Olney Springs, Colorado

Olney Springs sits at 4,383 feet in Crowley County, incorporated in 1912 when this was orchard and irrigated farm country. Thousands of acres of fruit trees once ran between here and Crowley. After the water rights went to the Front Range cities, the ground went dry, and the housing stock stayed put. Early frame homes, mid-century ranches, and manufactured homes are what we work on.

Dry air is hard on coatings in a way people underestimate. Latex needs moisture to cure properly, and on a 95 degree afternoon with single digit humidity and wind, a coat can skin over before it levels or bonds. We work the shade side, watch surface temperature, and keep wet edges alive. Two coats minimum, always, so the film ends up thick enough to last out here.

Older stucco and plaster on the masonry buildings around town cracks and delaminates where moisture has been cycling through for decades. That needs real stucco repair, not caulk and paint. Frame houses need house painting with proper prep. Sun-scorched decks need deck restoration. Low-slope and metal roofs on shops and outbuildings take roof coating to stop the leaks and cut heat load.
