If your home needs a paint job, and you just don’t have the time, a painting contractor can do the work quickly and professionally.
You probably know the basics already: don’t paint on a marred or dirty surface. A good painting contractor however gets better results than most of us because they understand the importance of preparing the surface.
A qualified painter should invest more than half his time preparing the wall surface to be painted. He should wash, patch, scrape, sand, and caulk all surfaces before the first ounce of paint touches the wall. He should also use an undercoat or primer to seal the surface.
Your painting contractor needs to be experienced and know exactly what type of paint is best for different projects. He should know the quality of different types of paint and know which will flake and blister, and which are completely scrubable — a big help if you have kids and pets.

Colorado's eastern expanses are part of the High Plains section of the Great Plains. On their western edge the plains give way to the Rocky Mountains, which run north-south through central Colorado. The mountains are divided into several ranges that make up two generally parallel belts, with the Front Range and a portion of the Sangre de Cristo Mts. on the east and the Park Range, Sawatch Mts., and San Juan Mts. on the west. Mt. Elbert (14,433 ft/4,399 m) is the highest peak in the U.S. Rocky Mts. The mountain ranges are separated by high valleys and basins called parks. These include North Park, Middle Park, South Park, Estes Park, and San Luis Park. The Continental Divide runs north-south along the Rocky Mts. in Colorado.
