Precision Residential Painting for Distinctive Homes Across Northern Colorado

Elegant Edge Painting is a five-star rated painting company on Google, insured and bonded, and EPA Lead-Safe Certified for pre-1978 homes, serving Fort Collins and the surrounding Northern Colorado communities. Colorado does not license painting contractors at the state level, so a homeowner comparing painters has to verify the things a license would otherwise cover. Look for a contractor who is insured and bonded, who puts the warranty in the contract rather than a brochure, and who sends an experienced painter to the consultation rather than a salesperson. Chief Painter Pat Dougherty has more than 30 years in the trade and is involved in the project from consultation to finished transformation.

Elegant Edge Painting serves homes across Larimer, Weld, and Boulder counties from its base in Fort Collins, Colorado, covering over 1,700 square miles. That includes Loveland, Windsor, Timnath, Berthoud, Wellington, Johnstown, Longmont, Severance, Eaton, Mead, Campion, and Masonville. If you are near the edge of that area, call us and we will tell you whether we can reach you.

The cost depends on the size of the home, the condition of the surfaces, how much preparation is needed, and the paint you choose. Elegant Edge Painting does not quote from a phone call. Chief Painter Pat Dougherty walks your home in person, then gives you a quote outlining the full scope and price.

Elegant Edge Painting's 10-year workmanship warranty covers peeling, blistering, chipping, flaking, and coating separation resulting from surface preparation or application, on interior and exterior work alike. It is written into the paint contract you sign before work begins and applies to the original homeowner. It does not cover normal wear, fading and weathering, moisture from leaks or roof and gutter failure, structural movement, impact or accidental damage, or damage from pressure washing and abrasive cleaners. Wood stain is not covered by the warranty, and stained decks and fences need a fresh coat about every three years. Defects in the paint itself fall under the Sherwin-Williams or Benjamin Moore manufacturer warranty.

Elegant Edge Painting's Chief Painter, Pat Dougherty, comes to your home, understands what you want the finished result to look like, and assesses the surfaces and the preparation the job will need. He shows you options and helps guide you through color selection during that same visit, matching the palette to your home and its lighting. You then receive a quote with options that align with the project vision. If you approve it, the project scope and price carry into the paint contract. Once it is signed, we get your project scheduled and take a deposit.

Elegant Edge Painting provides free in-home estimates across Larimer, Weld, and Boulder counties. Chief Painter Pat Dougherty walks your home in person, assesses the surfaces and the preparation the job will need, helps guide your color selection, and provides a quote covering the full scope of your project.

Elegant Edge Painting uses low-VOC and zero-VOC products from Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore on every interior job. VOCs are the compounds that make paint smell, and they off-gas as the finish cures. That matters most in a house with small children, anyone with asthma or chemical sensitivity, or a room that cannot be aired out.

Elegant Edge Painting is EPA Lead-Safe Certified and paints historic homes across Old Town Fort Collins, downtown Loveland, Old Town Longmont, and older neighborhoods throughout Larimer, Weld, and Boulder counties. Any home built before 1978 can carry lead paint, and federal rules require certification to scrape or sand those surfaces. Original wood siding, trim, and window casings have usually been painted many times over and likely need more repair than newer materials. Chief Painter Pat Dougherty assesses the condition of the home, shares the full scope of the project, and provides a free estimate that covers the lead-safe work practices and the repairs the home needs.

Elegant Edge Painting completes an interior repaint of a 2,000 square foot home in three to five days in an empty house and six to eight days in one you are living in. Most exterior projects run three to seven days, though homes needing extensive preparation take longer. Pat gives you the expected duration at your consultation. Once your project starts, our painters stay on it until it is finished. We do not pull a crew off your home to go work another job. We protect your floors, furniture, and landscaping throughout, and clean up at the end of each day.
