What paint brands do you use in Highlands?

Summit Painting uses Sherwin-Williams Duration Exterior and Benjamin Moore Aura Exterior for all exterior projects in Highlands. Both products are rated for Colorado's high-UV environment and freeze-thaw temperature swings. For interior projects, we use Sherwin-Williams Emerald and Benjamin Moore Regal Select — low-VOC formulas that are safe for families and pets. We stock both brands so you're never limited on color selection.

How does Denver's altitude affect exterior paint in Highlands?

At Denver's elevation (5,280+ feet), UV radiation is approximately 25% more intense than at sea level. This accelerates fading and chalk buildup on exterior paint — particularly on south- and west-facing surfaces. In Highlands, we see paint that might last 8–10 years at sea level fail in 5–6 years if the wrong products are used. Summit Painting specs UV-resistant paints and applies two coats minimum on all exterior projects to counter this.

Do you handle HOA exterior color approval in Highlands?

Yes. Highlands has no dominant HOA but individual block associations exist; the neighborhood welcomes contemporary color choices more than Cherry Creek and Washington Park.
