Project Description
In the heart of Washington Park, Denver, RW Professional Painting, LLC had the opportunity to breathe new life into a classic residential property with a full-spectrum exterior refresh. The scope of work spanned power washing, wood staining, detailed carpentry repairs, and full exterior painting of both the main home and detached garage, as well as the surrounding fence. The entire project took 4 days from prep to final walkthrough, executed with a balance of speed and precision.
This wasn’t a small facelift. The project covered both the street-facing and alley-facing fences, two large pergolas, and the entire home exterior. At approximately 2,500 square feet including the garage and fencing surfaces, the job required strategic staging and hybrid painting techniques to ensure both beauty and durability.
The homeowners invested $11,000 in restoring their property’s presence, choosing RW Professional Painting, LLC for our reputation in high-quality finishes, reliable timelines, and expert craftsmanship in high-end Denver neighborhoods like this one.
Background/Story:
The clients had long admired their Washington Park home, but the exterior had begun to show its age. Faded paint. Stained wood. Peeling caulk. Every time they pulled into the driveway, they were reminded of the wear. What was once a charming façade had become weathered, dull, and tired. The fencing, especially along the alley, had absorbed years of Colorado sun and snow, turning grey and patchy.
They didn’t want just a paint job—they wanted a transformation. A bold color scheme. Solid prep work. And finishes that would hold up for years to come. After interviewing a few contractors, they chose RW Professional Painting, LLC for our consultative approach and attention to detail. From the first walkthrough, we listened closely, offered color insights, and made product suggestions that prioritized both aesthetics and performance.
They envisioned something clean and modern that still respected the home’s character. Something eye-catching, but timeless. Most of all, they wanted their home to feel loved again.

Results:
The transformation was immediate. The once-faded exterior now stood proudly in Dignity Blue, a bold and modern hue that beautifully framed the home against the Denver skyline. The Extra White trim added brightness and clarity, accentuating architectural details and lending a fresh, sophisticated aesthetic.
The fencing—previously dry and dull—was now uniform, richly stained, and fully sealed against the elements. The clean lines and dual-tone combination created a striking perimeter that elevated the entire lot. Even the pergolas, often overlooked, became focal points thanks to thoughtful trim accents and clean stain application.
“It feels like we live in a brand-new home,” the client said after the final walkthrough. “You took every detail seriously, and it shows. This is better than we imagined.”
For RW Professional Painting, LLC, that’s exactly the kind of reaction we strive for. It’s not just about paint—it’s about pride in your home. With long-lasting products, careful prep, and true craftsmanship, we helped this Washington Park family fall in love with their home all over again.
