As a homeowner in the beautiful city of Colorado Springs, you’re well aware of the unique climate that graces our region. With an average of 243 sunny days per year and temperatures that can fluctuate significantly, our local climate plays a vital role in the maintenance and longevity of your home’s exterior. In this blog, we’ll explore the fascinating relationship between Colorado Springs’ climate and house painting. Understanding the impact of our climate will help you make informed choices when it comes to protecting and enhancing your home.

The Colorado Springs Climate Overview

To appreciate how the climate affects house painting, let’s start with an overview of Colorado Springs’ weather patterns.

Dry and Sunny Summers

Colorado Springs enjoys hot and dry summers, which are perfect for outdoor activities but can pose challenges to your home’s exterior. The intense sunlight and high temperatures can lead to paint fading, cracking, and peeling.

Harsh Winters

Our winters are characterized by cold temperatures and frequent snowfall. The freeze-thaw cycles can be particularly tough on the paint, causing it to contract and expand, which can lead to paint flaking and chipping.

Sudden Weather Changes

Colorado Springs is known for its dramatic weather changes. A sunny morning can turn into a rainy afternoon or even a hailstorm. These sudden shifts can impact the integrity of your home’s paint.

The Effects of Climate on House Paint

Now that we have an understanding of the climate in Colorado Springs, let’s explore how it affects your house painting.

Paint Fading

The intense sunlight can cause paint to fade, especially on south-facing walls. To combat this, it’s essential to choose high-quality, UV-resistant paints that can withstand prolonged exposure to the sun.

Cracking and Peeling

The combination of dry summers and cold winters can cause your house paint to crack and peel. It’s crucial to address these issues promptly to prevent further damage to your home’s exterior.

Freeze-Thaw Damage

The freeze-thaw cycles can be particularly damaging to the paint. Moisture can seep into small cracks and gaps in the paint during the day and freeze at night, expanding and causing further damage.

Sudden Weather Changes

Hailstorms, in particular, can wreak havoc on your home’s exterior. Large hailstones can chip and dent the paint, leaving your house vulnerable to the elements.

Tips for House Painting in Colorado Springs

While Colorado Springs’ climate can pose challenges for house painting, there are several strategies you can employ to ensure your home’s exterior remains in top condition.

Choose the Right Paint

Opt for high-quality exterior paint that is specifically designed for Colorado’s climate. Look for paint that offers UV protection and is resistant to fading and cracking.

Proper Surface Preparation

Thoroughly prepare the surfaces before painting. This includes cleaning, sanding, and filling any cracks or gaps. A well-prepared surface will hold paint better and last longer.

Timing Matters

Consider the time of year when planning your house painting project. Spring and early fall are ideal seasons for painting, as they offer more moderate temperatures and lower humidity.

Professional Painting Services

Enlisting the services of professional house painters who are familiar with Colorado Springs’ climate can make a significant difference. They have the expertise to choose the right materials and techniques to ensure a long-lasting paint job.

Extending the Lifespan of Your Home’s Paint

Taking steps to protect your home’s paint can extend its lifespan and save you money in the long run.

Regular Maintenance

Perform regular inspections of your home’s exterior and address any issues promptly. This can include touch-up painting, sealing gaps, and fixing small cracks.

Annual Cleaning

A yearly cleaning of your home’s exterior can help remove dirt, dust, and pollutants that can degrade the paint. It also provides an opportunity to spot potential issues.

Consider Weather-Resistant Materials

If you’re planning a major renovation, consider using weather-resistant materials like vinyl or fiber cement siding, which can better withstand Colorado Springs’ climate.

Conclusion

In Colorado Springs, our unique climate presents both challenges and opportunities for homeowners when it comes to house painting. By understanding the impact of our climate on your home’s exterior, choosing the right materials, and following best practices, you can ensure a beautiful and long-lasting paint job that enhances the curb appeal and value of your home. If you have any questions or need professional assistance with your house painting needs, feel free to reach out to Greg Unseth Painting.

Absolute AMAZING experience. Their estimate was one of the most reasonable, using the best materials/paint and their crew were careful not to make any messes and quickly painted a very large and challenging house with detached garage in a minimal amount of time despite changing weather conditions. Their project manager (Tim) was super friendly and helpful in helping us with paint decisions and verifying everything was finished to perfection and Jesus ensured all the paint lines were perfect. The new paint makes our house look like the newest in the neighborhood- an absolute transformation. Thank you so much Greg Unseth Painting you have a Great Team!!!

Tim was very professional and demonstrated great communication skills. We felt very comfortable under his direction - Alfredo the lead painter was very efficient, courteous and respectful of our property. This painting company is a real deal. We highly recommend them.

I hired Unseth to paint the interior of my new law firm. They were professional from the start, including responsiveness, punctuality, and efficiency. First, I walked the job with Chris Wood the estimator to go over color and accents. Then, on the day of the job, I walked it again with Tim Dolan, Project Manager, and Christine, crew chief, to confirm color and accent choices. The job was done in half the time estimated, and looks great! The crew did an excellent job cleaning up behind themselves. At all points, I was treated fairly and with respect. Highly recommend this company!

We had a fantastic experience with Greg Unseth painters! Tim, the project manager, was very attentive to detail and made sure our preferences were carried out. Rudolfo's painting team was the most careful and thorough we've seen in our neighborhood. We couldn't be more pleased with the result and would highly recommend this group to anyone looking to get their house painted. We used them for exterior this time, and will certainly call on them again when we're ready to work on the interior of our home. Wonderful!

Working with the team at Greg Unseth on a painting project for my home was beyond amazing. From the moment I requested an estimate to the completion of the project, the communication and follow-up were nothing short of exceptional. Jim was a great project manager to work with and his dedication in keeping me informed throughout the process truly set him apart. Tim’s commitment to excellence was evident every step of the way. The man deserves a pay raise. Tim's daily updates on the progress made by Rodolfo and his team were reassuring and demonstrated a level of transparency and professionalism that is often hard to come by. On the day of completion, Tim and his team took the time to walk through the entire project with me. Any concerns I had were addressed promptly, showcasing their commitment to customer satisfaction. The attention to detail and willingness to go the extra mile left a lasting impression. The transformation of my home is remarkable. With the house last painted a decade ago, the fresh coat on the walls, ceiling, and baseboards truly breathed new life into the space. The colors are vibrant, and the overall atmosphere is now much brighter and inviting. If you are looking for a team committed to making your home a showcase, Greg Unseth is the team to choose. Their professionalism, communication, and dedication to quality work make them stand out in the industry.

They did an amazing job and got the job done a day earlier then expected. Very professional and great customer service. I highly recommend them.

Alfredo and Tim took great care of us in our recent exterior stain project. We have rustic cedar siding that had some pretty big woodpecker holes and weathering, but Unseth sent their carpenters and painters out and did a great job. Everything was totally on schedule and looks really good. I'm very happy with our choice of Greg Unseth painting! We'll definitely be coming back to these guys next time.

I don't give 5 star reviews. Mostly because I always believe that there is room for improvement. I honestly don't believe that Greg Unseth Painting can improve past where they are now. 1. They are systematic. We booked an appointment for an estimate, and it was like a month out. Having delt with other construction people, I was seriously doubtful they would even remember much less show. To my pleasant surprise, they are like a doctor's office. They texted the day before to make sure "I" remembered. Texted when they were on the way, and through the entire job. 2. I have had both my neighbors have their house painted in the last year, so I have seen the process. Those houses both took 2-3 weeks to complete, so I was skeptical that they could do the same in 2 days. They did a better job :) 3. They had a paint guy call in advance and discuss all the paint options, the pros and cons of different colors, fading and all that. 4. So, they started painting on a Friday, and would have finished because it turned into a down pour. They had to leave, and I didn't expect them until Monday. On Thursday, when they fixed parts of the house that needed fixed, and Friday, they had lots of people working and playing music and talking as they worked. Saturday morning, no sound, but my security system kept alerting me that people were in the yard. I thought it was a cat, until it alerted to the backyard too. Still no noise at 9 am. I went out, and they were all here, silently painting! As soon as they knew we were awake, they started talking and playing music. That was the only day they didn't text me in the morning as to not disturb us. 5. There was even extensive siding damage done by the horrible roofing company that never came back to fix the damage from the brand new leaking roof (American Roofing & Construction of Castle Rock, don't ever use these people. The only review I have given 1 star too and that was too much.) Who does all this? !!!! Greg Unseth that's who! They may cost more that Bob's paint service that shows up in a van that looks like it got rolled off Rampart Range road, but it is worth every penny! I don't know any of these people or this company, just their reputation. Christian, Tim, and Jeff the paint coordinator seriously couldn't have done a better job, and the crew they have is fantastic.

We had the exterior of our house painted by Greg Unseth Painting & Exteriors. They are an excellent company with excellent people working for them. The finished paint job on our house was superior in price, quality and perfect down to every last detail. Tim our Project Lead was amazing and his crew headed up by Jose provided an outstanding job. We highly recommend this company.

James Hardy

00:18 04 Oct 23

I recently had my home and fence painted by Greg Unseth Painting & Exteriors and they did an outstanding job. I primarily worked with Tim and Juan and they were professional beyond belief…Juan’s painting team is absolutely some of the best painters I’ve ever dealt with and Tim is responsive to any issues you may have and ensures you are 100% satisfied before signing off on the job. They fully satisfied this old retired Air Force CMSgt—job well done!! Thanks.

We used Greg Unseth 20 years ago when we last had the exterior of our house painted and they did such a great job with top quality materials that it was an easy decision to use them again. In fact, the house really didn't need repainted (even after 20 yrs), but most of the siding on the chimney needed replaced due to woodpecker damage so we decided to go ahead and have everything done at the same time. Dave managed the crew of carpenters that came and did an excellent job replacing all of the siding and trim on the chimney, as well as replacing about 40 feet of soffet on the backside of the house. Dave was very professional and made sure we were completely satisfied. Once all of the carpentry work was completed, Tim took over managing the paint crew. They did a very thorough job resetting nails and caulking before painting. The paint crew did a very good job, but Tim made sure the work was up to his satisfaction as well as ours. We are very happy we chose to try Greg Unseth again.

20:14 15 Aug 23

We are very pleased with the work done by the Unseth team in painting our home. The project manager Tim and primary painter Alfredo were very professional and easy to work with. Work on our 2,000-sq.ft. house began on the day that was originally scheduled, was completed in only two days, and looks like a new-build home. We highly recommend Unseth if you are looking for a reliable, high-quality painting company.

Don Coates

Everything about this company is exceptional. From day one, when we first called for an estimate, lady the answered the phone was positive and upbeat. When Greg came to give an estimate, he was very professional and thorough. He wrote a bid that wasn’t the lowest bid but was clearly the best service and guarantee. They did everything they said they would do. Jeff, who came to do the color match/consult, was wonderful and very helpful. I can’t say enough about Tim and his management of this project…truly outstanding. Rudolph and Jose were exceptional painters. Everyone we interacted with was GREAT and gave us whatever time we wanted. I have NOTHING negative to say about Greg Unseth Painting. I hope we won’t need painters again soon, but if we do, I will not consider anyone else to do the work.

I cannot recommend Greg Unseth Painting enough. The whole team-- from the cost estimators and project managers, to the carpentry and painting teams, were professional and kind. We ended up adding on extra tasks to our home project, and the team sure went above and beyond to make it happen. My home looks incredible. Highly recommend!

David Parker

20:33 07 Aug 23

We had them paint several rooms in our home and they did a great job. From Chris who came out and gave the estimate to Tim who managed the job, they were on time and very professional. We are having them epoxy our garage floor next.

Rebecca House

17:47 03 Aug 23

Our house hadn’t been painted in years and was in desperate need of repairs. I got bids from a couple different contractors, but I was so impressed with the professionalism of Chis who took a lot of time explaining their processes. He made it an easy decision to go with Greg Unseth. We chose to stucco over siding and have the trim repaired and painted. My primary contacts, once the project started, were Mark and Tim, the project managers for stucco and paint. Mark was amazing. He truly treated us like we were family. He kept us informed throughout all the stucco steps, gave us a heads up if it was going to be noisy or if there were any delays. Mark was my go-to if I had any concerns even if it wasn’t stucco related, he made sure that I got responses from the other divisions of the company. Tim kept us updated on the painting process and weather delays. He even came over one day when we couldn’t get the garage door open (it was stuck shut because of the new paint and the wood swelling due to the rain). On the final day he did some touch up work on a couple things himself instead of calling his crew in. I can’t say enough good things about the way everyone from Greg Unseth treated us and the quality of their work. Our neighbors constantly tell us how great our house looks now. I’m attaching before and after photos

Tim, Stephen, Dennis, Jeff, and the whole crew, were fantastic. They went beyond the minimum and help with things that, quite frankly, weren't part of the deal. They made sure I was 100% satisfied with everything before they closed the books on the job. If it meant coming back days later, they had absolutely no problem with that. The quote they gave was the price I paid. No hidden charges or addons. The fact that they've been around for decades is proof they're doing something right. I highly recommend Greg Unseth Painting.

Bob Doerfler

19:57 15 Jul 23

We had a great painting experience from the estimate provided by Chris, to the carpentry repairs provided by Dave and his team, to the painting provided by Tim, and his team of Rodolfo and Jose who provided us with the utmost respect, kindness, and quality work.

We had our home painted this week. They did an amazing job. During the inspection they found several areas that needed attention, not me. Tim Doland and Juan both were very responsive to our request and even went overboard to resolve problems. VERY HAPPY EXCELLENT VALUE

Richard Gustafson

14:34 05 May 23

The best contractor experience of my life and i am 69 years old. The various teams showed up on time and were very professional. The Project Manager, Tim, kept us informed on a daily basis and was on top of everything. Juan led the painting crew and ensured we had a quality product. Bottom ine is a great job at a great price!!!! Thanks!!!

Crystal

Excellent service! Very professional quality! Tim is a top notch project manager and very personable. Christian and his paint crew did an excellent job! I highly recommend Greg Unseth Painting for any interior painting needs you might have!

David Ashley

19:55 06 Feb 23

We're super happy with the work managed by Mark and Tim. We've had several neighbors complement us on how nice the house looks now with a new stucco and stone face. Our house has become a standout (in a good way) in the neighborhood. Everyone was friendly, courteous, and professional. I dropped a star due to some delays in the project. Most of these were outside of their direct control with their suppliers and winter weather challenges. This was the second time we've hired Greg Unseth Painting and Exteriors - both times very happy with the results!

MICHELLE D

21:04 07 Dec 22

Ryan, Tim, German, and Danny were all wonderful to work with. They were all very professional, and knowledgeable. Ryan came out to the house to help us pick the best type of stain for our house. Tim kept us informed when the crew would be there and when they were leaving every day. The crew that came out was all very respectful, friendly and always on time. If you need any service they have to offer we highly recommend Greg Unseth Painting & Exteriors.

Chad Stark

18:27 23 Oct 22

I have never paid to have someone paint our home because I always thought I can do a better job. I contacted Greg Unseth painting basically for just a quote. They were so thorough and no pressure that I had to look at it with more consideration. We hired them to paint and it was a fantastic experience. Tim Dolan was our Project Manager and was awesome! Very respectful and responsive. He ensured every step was easy. The paint crew was always on time and completed the job quickly! Our home looks amazing!! I definitely recommend this company and will use them again when the time comes.

Cheryl Balaich

21:56 07 Oct 22

The guys were extremely professional and knew what they were doing. They all took pride in the work that was performed. Juan and Tim were amazing and their leadership was second to none.

Victoria Garcia

This company is excellent! Tim Dolan was amazing as that project manager, communicated with us all the time. came to check out the work of the crew, to make sure we were completely happy before payment was rendered. The crew showed up on time,even early. Was done in a day and a 1/2 on our house. Scheduled for them to come back again to do the doors, was easy to schedule and didn't have to wait very long. We will use them again on the interior of our house. Very professional, very clean,very nice. Did a beautiful job on her house, we'll recommend them time and time again.

Michael Thompson

17:52 29 Jun 22

Extremely professional in every aspect. The entire crew was courteous and respectful in regards to our property and making sure the job was done correctly. Tim went above and beyond throughout the entire project. We would not hesitate to use them in the future for any painting project.

Martin E

15:36 23 Jun 22

Our experience with sales/estimate (Chris), carpentry (David), and color selection (Jeff) was exceptional. While we experienced a few hiccups with the painting team, our project manager (Tim) was eager to meet our expectations. Tim quickly brought in a different paint team and rectified all the shortcomings. He's a fantastic listener, problem solver, and is very customer oriented... a real pleasure to work with. Thank you, Tim, for delivering on a promise. Given our experience overall, we would definitely recommend Greg Unseth.

Gary Hatchett

14:32 17 Jun 22

They worked with me after the bad hail storm that came through here and the insurance company would only pay to repaint 2 sides of my house and they worked with me so I could afford to get the whole house painted. Now I called to have them paint a new fence I just had put up. Again they were professional and put up with our inability to pick a color of stain. Tim was great keeping in touch and when we decided they got started right away and kept us informed during the process. And again they did a beautiful job

Christina Moore

00:27 10 Jun 22

We had the exterior stucco and trim painted with Greg Unseth. They were communtative throughout the entire job, start to finish. Our home was thoroughly powerwashed prior to any painting. High quality workmanship and attention to detail with trim and base painting. The crew showed up on time, cleaned up, and completed the job as scheduled. Tim was very good about checking in with us throughout the project and even stopped by after its completion, ensuring that we were happy with the work. We are more than pleased with how our home looks and would highly recommend Greg and his staff for any exterior painting needs!

Average Customer

14:39 07 Jun 22

Highly recommend this business for residential interior/exterior work and repairs. Had portions of exterior stucco replaced and painted outside as well as interior crack repairs and painting through out the house. All work was completed to my expectations. Happy with final price and amount of time required for work.

Belinda Joslyn

01:11 26 May 22

I cannot express the phenomenal job this company did. First from the estimator Chris, Tim the project manager and Juan and his crew who did an awesome job painting!! I 100% recommend this team!! Thank you!

Bliss Eckland

16:17 06 Apr 22

I recently had my home's exterior trim painted, some repair work done on my soffets, and some fence repairs done by Greg Unseth Painting and Exteriors. I highly recommend this local company for any similar work. Communication with the teams who did the work was excellent. I was informed on a daily basis about what was happening and where they were at with the project. The teams were efficient and professional. Project manager Tim Dolan made sure all my questions were answered and that things ran smoothly. I would definitely hire these folks again!!

Daryl Jaworski

23:07 14 Mar 22

We had our stucco repaired and the whole exterior painted. From estimate to finish, everything was communicated to us without any delay. The crew was very professional and did outstanding work that was above and beyond what was expected. Thank you Kurt and Tim and the whole Greg Unseth team!

Dave Vandenberg

22:59 14 Feb 22

Unseth has painted our house 3 times on the outside and once inside, always at a fair price and always with great quality and attention to detail. Our project manager Tim showed up early on the scheduled day to make sure all was ready to go, even though this was a small job for them. Then he showed up at the end to make sure everything was done right. We have been customers for twenty years. They will definitely be our first call for any future work.

Bob Bos

03:38 12 Feb 22

Greg Unseth painting is a breath of fresh air in these times of questionable service. I dropped in for scheduling a quote for exterior paint. Spoke with Ryan who arrived the next day for quoting. I received the quote in a timely fashion and was able to make a decision based on the fair pricing. Tim, the Project Manager, was so friendly and willing to listen, and allowed for a timely and professional prep and paint of two sides of my house. Christian and his assistant performed such a great job with efficiency and quality. The team finished the work the same day! Looks great and appreciate the on-time scheduling and arrival times making adjustments for weather related obstacles. Would highly recommend their services of professional painting skills and fair pricing. Without question I would use them again when the time comes!

SHIRLEY HIGDON

We are a military family new to the area. We purchased a home and needed some upkeep projects completed. After researching on Google, we contacted Greg Unseth Painting and Exteriors based on their glowing reviews. We had the stairs on our outside deck rebuilt as well as the entire deck painted. The entire crew, Dave, Mike, Rafa, and Tim are trustworthy and very professional. They all know their craft, and are very friendly and a pleasure to work with. Everyone was very communicative and made sure to inform us along the way. We are very happy with the work that was completed and already have future projects in mind that we will be contacting them about.

Kevin McChesney

16:42 22 Dec 21

The Unseth team is unbeatable. They know exactly what is needed, discuss it thoroughly, and then do it all in a friendly and professional manner. Tim in particular is awesome! He was great at solving a couple of unusual matters that we needed. Everyone was great! Thank you!

Ruth Gibbs

20:46 15 Dec 21

Mike and Joe replaced some of the boards on the outside of our home. Fernando, Rafael, and their crew painted the house, and Tim supervised and managed the whole process from start to finish. Everybody was very professional at all times and delivered high quality work. It was quite obvious that they were proud of the work they did. Tim checked in with the work crews and with us throughout the process to make sure that we were satisfied with the outcome. I can highly recommend them to anybody wanting to have their house painted.

Michele Messenger

19:07 22 Nov 21

Greg Unseth and his crew did a complete exterior stucco on our house. Every person who came out was polite and professional and worked very hard. His project manager, Mark, was very easy to reach and always responded to any questions we had. I would highly recommend.

Rick Vyncke

14:19 14 Nov 21

For interior or exterior painting services look no further than Greg Unseth Painting. We have used their team for multiple projects over the past 15 years and we've never had a bad experience. Quality is always excellent. Prices are fair. Services are professional. Outstanding interactions with Tim, Ryan, Greg and the entire crew. They take pride in their work and it shows. Thanks for another successful project!!

Michael Fegley

19:25 06 Nov 21

Project Manager Tim Dolan led a wonderful crew that repaired the stucco work (where necessary) around my home, sealed around the gutters, power washed it all, and painted the house with the perfect matching color while also adding a highlighted trim color. I’ve had neighbors stop and tell me how beautiful the house looks! I’m so glad I chose this company and recommend them for quality work.

Carolyn Heemer

23:08 29 Oct 21

Tim Dolan did excellent job communicating with me on how the job was to be handled. It took a day for Jesus to get paint for the Stucco job after another person came out on Tuesday and got samples. Unclear why it took that long. The paint and stucco job looks pretty could however there is a piece of stucco on the right hand corner of the area missing. Not sure if that was the sample they took. Thank you. CINDEE WEAVER

I’m extremely happy about the new paint job on my house! They did a great job repairing stucco, filling gaps, thoroughly painting, and even cleaning up the work site. All of my interactions with Tim Dolan, Jesus, and their team were friendly and informative. They completed an exterior paint of my 1200 sq ft house in two days! I highly recommend this company for their professionalism and efficiency.

Walt Barrow

19:48 05 Oct 21

We had Tim Dolan and his team, Fernando and George, paint the exterior parts of our garage and house. They arrived right when they said they would and did an excellent job. We will definitely call Greg Unseth Painting for our next paint job.

Koti Norris

21:02 03 Oct 21

They did a fantastic job repainting the exterior of our old little home. The old plaster-like paint was peeling badlyon the front of our house on 2 walls. We got quotes from 3 different places to repaint the entire house, a couple of them didn't seem to know what they were talking about and since our house used a specific type of paint and texture; I wanted to make sure it was done right. I trusted Greg more than the other companys who came out, and they gave us a fantastic price for repainting the entire home as well as replacing some of the old rotting trim around the garage door. We picked new fun and fresh colors for our home, and we love it. My only complaint is there were a couple times where they were late or no shows for days we were told they'd be there.

We used Greg Unseth Painting and Exteriors to do stucco repair and painting on the outside of our home. Kurt, Tim and Jose did an excellent job. The follow up was great and we would definitely use this business again.

The Covid Factor I bought a small house in Briargate after renting it for 8 years. The various property managers had neglected care of this little hobble so when it needed exterior paint I was diligent. I interviewed no less than 5 companies and got estimates all in about the same range. Now it was just about finding the one I felt confident would do the best job. In hindsight I probably should have waited until the pandemic was over with costs running high and paint running short along with a shortage of qualified painters. But with our challenging winters I felt sure my siding would be compromised if I waited another season so I hired Greg Unseth. Initially I felt confident but there seemed to be a serious lack of communication within the company itself, the right hand not knowing what the left was doing. I won't belabor all the issues I experienced because I chalk it up to Covid and Sherwin Williams paint shortage issues. In the end every issue was addressed and resolved. I was pleased that Kim, Ryan and Greg Unseth were all helpful, kind and attentive to my concerns and took care to ensure my house would look lovely and lovely it does look. I am thankful for the diligence and persistence of the Unseth family and would recommend using this company to anyone looking to add value to their home.

Had house stuccoed. Mark Jeselink coordinated the work by the different crews. He was fabulous always wanting to make sure everything was to our satisfaction. The painting crew was great and very personable. The stucco crew did a decent job. Stucco crews problem was communication, not showing up when they said they would, and lack of respect of the property.

We hired Greg Unseth painting to paint the exterior of our home which included stucco repairs, fascia and soffit replacement, window trim replacement, and new gutters and downspouts. I was unable to be home for any of the work, and all of my communication was done via email and text. Chris, our salesman, and Sterling our project manager were on time, super responsive, professional, and their team did an excellent job on our little house! We are very happy with the end results!!! I highly recommend them!!!

From the first, this company has been a pleasure to work with! Ryan's estimate was fair, and he broke down the work (exterior painting, stucco repair, soffit and fascia repair) into financially manageable amounts for me. Scheduling was a breeze, and Sterling was patient and thorough, from helping me choose the paint color, to answering my many questions, to squeezing in the work between snow storms. I still have more work to go, and am looking forward to the final result.I've gotten nothing but compliments on the job! The only improvement I would recocmmend is to make sure that there is clear communication among the company, the crew, and the client. The crew did great job, but I didn't always know what to expect on a particular day. Otherwise, though, it was a great experience and I highly recommend them!

Greg Unseth’s crews are very professional and aim to please. I had them order and install all my windows that were damaged by a hail storm. Excellent windows and great installation! My stucco was damaged as well. They repaired the stucco, painted the whole house and stained my shutters. They were very responsive to my needs. My house looks brand new! Great customer service! Thank you!!

Sterling was extremely professional, his painting was perfect and he kept everything protected and cleaned up so well that you would not know he had done any work whatsoever. I am so happy to have found this company to do all my future painting jobs, both interior and exterior. I would not hesitate to recommend them to everyone I know.

Greg Unseth Painting and Exteriors bid my exterior stucco repair job, providing us with several options for the repair needed. This allowed us to select the option that best fit our needs and finances. Sterling provided excellent project management on our job, as we had 3 different crews that performed the work. All of the crews were professional and detailed in their work, leaving us with the best possible repair and paint job on the exterior of our house. I would highly recommend this team for your next project.

We want to commend Jose on a very well done job! Jose was professional in his work as well as in his demeanor and work ethic. We could not have been more pleased with him. He spent several days in our home doing the interior walls and exterior doors. He had to work around all the trim, cabinetry, and doors. That job takes patience to get it right and HE did it right. He was able to “cut in” with precision and mastery. No gaps or sloppy work. That is the reason we hired Greg Unseth to do this job. Our expectations were high, and we wanted a precise and professionally completed job - that is what we got from Jose! He did not rush the job but worked efficiently. Thank You, Jose!

We hired Greg Unseth to do a complete exterior remodel on our home - stucco, stone, new gutters and fascias, new garage doors as well as adding a stone/timber pergola to our front entrance. To make the job more challenging and to add an extra 'fun' factor, this project started immediately after we had re-done all our landscaping so the crews were dealing with new sod, a new stamped concrete patio and new softscape. We were very happy with the result and love our "new home". To say that our reno project created a buzz in the neighborhood was an understatement. Chris, our project manager, made on-site visits consistently throughout the project and dealt with issues immediately. When dust from the stuccoing had gotten under the plywood/plastic that had been laid to protect the patio, Chris sent crews out immediately to power wash and reseal the patio. To complete our reno project, Greg Unseth did a stone/timber mailbox to match the pergola. It was the icing on the cake! The stone mason who did the stone work was a true craftsman who went the extra mile to create a cap on the stone post that not only looked good but is functional as well. It would have been easy for him to chop off a side of the cap to fit but, instead, he cut the cap piece into 4 triangles so that each side had a finished edge and raised the middle slightly for drainage. It was obvious that he knew his craft and took pride in his work.

Greg Unseth painting brought in a big crew and finished my large house in about 4 days! They cleaned up after themselves and did a great job. I would not hesitate to use them again or recommend them to my friends.
