Highlands Ranch Home Gets a Bold New Look in Just 4 Days

This 4-day exterior transformation took place in Highlands Ranch, CO, where RW Professional Painting, LLC refreshed and protected a beautiful home with a three-color scheme for maximum curb appeal. The project included power washing, extensive surface preparation, and two full coats of Sherwin Williams Duration Satin Paint applied to all siding, trim, fascia, soffits, gutters, downspouts, doors, and the rear shed.

The 5,500-dollar investment not only improved the home’s appearance but also added a durable protective barrier against Colorado’s fluctuating weather. The work covered all previously painted exterior surfaces, excluding raw brick, and followed a custom color palette provided by the homeowner: Copley Gray HC-104 for the body, Elephant Tusk OC-8 for the trim, and Otter SW 6041 for the accents.

The homeowners reached out to RW Professional Painting, LLC after noticing that their once vibrant exterior had lost its luster. Years of sun, wind, and seasonal storms had faded the paint, exposed raw wood in some places, and caused caulking to crack along trim edges.

They wanted more than just a color refresh—they needed thorough prep work and premium materials to ensure the finish would last for years. They had already chosen their colors, aiming for a warm yet sophisticated three-tone layout that would stand out in the neighborhood without being overly bold.

From the very first consultation, we emphasized that the key to long-lasting results wasn’t just the paint but proper preparation. They appreciated our detailed explanation of the process: from securing loose boards to filling nail holes, and from priming bare areas to applying two uniform coats. Knowing they’d be getting both aesthetic appeal and lasting protection, they confidently chose RW Professional Painting, LLC to bring their vision to life.

• Power Washing & Cleaning: Removed dirt, chalking, mildew, and surface contaminants from all designated exterior surfaces to ensure proper paint adhesion.

• Surface Prep & Repairs: Sanded and scraped failing paint, primed worn or raw areas, secured loose boards and nails, and applied Sherwin Williams 950A caulk to fascia board edges and visible nail or screw openings.

• Body Painting: Applied two full coats of Sherwin Williams Duration Satin in Copley Gray HC-104 to all siding for a rich, even finish with exceptional weather resistance.

• Trim Painting: Used Sherwin Williams Duration Satin in Elephant Tusk OC-8 for a clean, crisp contrast on trim, fascia, soffits, gutters, and downspouts.

• Accent Painting: Finished doors, accent areas, and the rear shed with Sherwin Williams Duration Satin in Otter SW 6041 for a bold yet balanced touch.

The completed project was nothing short of a transformation. The Copley Gray body provided a rich and elegant foundation, while the Elephant Tusk trim offered a crisp, clean contrast that made architectural features pop. The Otter accents tied the whole palette together, adding warmth and personality.

Beyond the aesthetic upgrade, the home is now fully sealed and protected from the elements. The thorough prep work—especially the caulking, priming, and double-coating—ensures that this exterior will resist peeling, cracking, and fading for years to come.

The homeowners were delighted with both the look and the process. They commented on the crew’s professionalism, efficiency, and the care taken to protect their landscaping and property. By the final walkthrough, they said the home “looked brand new” and shared that neighbors had already stopped by to compliment the fresh new look.

For RW Professional Painting, LLC, this Highlands Ranch project is another example of how proper preparation, premium materials, and skilled application can dramatically improve a home’s curb appeal and durability—proving that a great exterior paint job is as much about craftsmanship as it is about color choice.
