Client Reviews
Emerald Isle Painting Inc. is RRP Lead Certified
EPA RRP Certified - What does that mean?
The EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) has a rule that requires firms performing renovation, repair, and painting projects that disturb lead-based paint in homes, child care facilities and pre-schools built before 1978 have their firm certified by EPA (or an EPA authorized state), use certified renovators who are trained by EPA-approved training providers and follow lead-safe work practices.
That rule is called RRP (Renovation, Repair and Painting Rule).
If you have lead paint; we know how to handle safely. We do a lead test on your property. If its positive, we then determine what the safest plan is for your Exterior painting project.

We use Quality Exterior Painting Brands
The paint selection is a very important part of any paint job and is usually decided using factors such as cost, use (substrate, conditions) and performance requirements. There is a paint for almost every surface you can imagine.
Our main reasons for using these suppliers are both personal and professional. Over the years we have developed relationships with these companies and work together to solve problems and ultimately provide our clients with the best paint system for their needs. Our suppliers know us as a company that puts customer service as its number one priority and trust us to apply their product correctly. Because of these relationships they even refer us to their own clients.
These companies are a useful resource for both us and our clients, whether they are architects, home owners, building engineers, or facility maintenance. Higher quality paints cost more but perform better. They maintain color and adhesion for longer, require less maintenance, and last longer subsequently costing less over time.
We offer cost alternatives with most of our estimates for options of paint grades. These days most exterior paints are water borne latex paints that perform well in the Colorado climate. We have used Benjamin Moore, Moorgard Paint, and Sherman Williams Duration and Super paint for many years on exterior homes in Denver with exceptional results.
Interior paints are less critical in respect to performance, nevertheless product choice is important. Benjamin Moore Superspec Paint and Sherwin Williams ProMar 200 contractor grade interior paints are very good value and also provide excellent quality. A noticeable shift toward low VOC paints or rather environmentally friendly paints has led to the creation of many different low and zero VOC paints like Benjamin Moore Aura and Sherwin Williams Harmony lines that are zero VOC. Benjamin Moore Natura and Sherwin Williams ProGreen 200 are also good low VOC alternatives.
All these paints come in all the colors one could possibly imagine and we are happy to advise our clients about the best paint selection.
Frequently Asked Questions About Exterior Painting in Denver
How often should a home’s exterior be painted in Denver?
Most Denver homes need exterior painting every five to ten years. The timing depends on the surface material, quality of the previous paint, sun exposure, moisture, and overall preparation. Fading, peeling, cracking, exposed wood, and failing caulk are signs that it may be time to repaint.
What is the best time of year to paint a house exterior in Denver?
Exterior painting is typically completed during dry, mild weather when temperatures remain within the paint manufacturer’s recommended range. Spring through early fall often provides the best conditions, but Denver’s weather can change quickly. Temperature, moisture, wind, and the condition of the surface should always be evaluated before painting begins.
How do you prepare a house before exterior painting?
Proper preparation may include washing the exterior, removing loose or peeling paint, sanding rough areas, repairing damaged wood, sealing cracks and gaps, and priming exposed surfaces. Windows, landscaping, walkways, and nearby property should also be carefully protected. Thorough preparation helps the new paint bond correctly and last longer.
What type of exterior paint works best in Colorado’s climate?
High-quality exterior acrylic paint is commonly recommended because it can withstand Colorado’s intense sunlight, snow, moisture, and temperature changes. The best product depends on the surface being painted, including wood, stucco, masonry, brick, or siding. Emerald Isle Painting uses trusted products from manufacturers such as Benjamin Moore and Sherwin-Williams.
Can you safely paint an older Denver home that may contain lead-based paint?
Yes. Homes built before 1978 may contain lead-based paint and require special procedures when painted surfaces are disturbed. Emerald Isle Painting is EPA RRP certified and follows lead-safe practices for testing, preparation, containment, cleanup, and disposal. The property should be evaluated before work begins so an appropriate plan can be created.
