Stucco & Painting in Larkspur

Exterior work in Larkspur, Colorado

Larkspur sits near 6,700 feet on the Palmer Divide, which takes the heaviest snow on this stretch of the Front Range. That snow sits on deck boards for weeks. Water soaks end grain, freezes, and lifts the fibers, then UV at altitude eats the lignin and turns the surface gray. Deck restoration here means stripping, sanding, and getting moisture down before any stain goes on.

Most Larkspur homes are custom builds on wooded acreage, heavy on cedar, T1-11, and timber accents. Ponderosa shade keeps north walls damp and slow to dry while the south side bakes. That split is why one elevation fails years before the others. House painting here is prep work first, so we scrape, sand, spot prime bare wood, then run two coats.

Newer Larkspur builds and the Sage Port area carry stucco and stone. At this elevation the daily temperature swing can run forty degrees, and that constant expansion opens hairline cracks at control joints and window corners. We do stucco repair and stucco painting, plus roof coating on the metal shop and barn roofs out on the acreage.
