Finish Work That Supports Major Updates
Whole home renovation painting in Durango, Colorado that coordinates with structural and layout changes.
Renovating an entire home in Durango often means opening walls, reconfiguring rooms, and replacing outdated materials that no longer perform. The painting and finish work has to adapt to these changes and deliver results that look intentional, not patched together. Ramey Paint Contracting provides comprehensive painting and finish support for whole home renovations, with a focus on durable materials, clean transitions, and polished results throughout the home.
This service is well-suited for growing families and long-term property investments in Durango, where renovations improve function and update the home to current standards. The work includes surface preparation, priming, topcoating, and finish detailing on walls, ceilings, trim, doors, and cabinetry. Every step is coordinated with the renovation timeline so that painting does not slow down other trades or leave surfaces exposed.

What changes after the finishes are applied
After drywall repairs and new framing are complete in Durango, all surfaces are inspected for imperfections, then sanded smooth and primed. Trim and cabinetry are prepped separately to ensure tight edges and consistent sheen. Paint is applied in multiple coats using brushes, rollers, and sprayers depending on the surface and finish specified in the plan.
When the work is finished, you will notice that seams between old and new drywall disappear, walls feel smooth to the touch, and the color stays even from corner to corner. Trim stands out cleanly against the wall, and ceilings reflect light without showing roller marks or uneven coverage. The renovation feels complete, and the home looks like it was built that way from the start.
This service includes filling nail holes, caulking joints, and applying finish coats that meet durability standards for high-use areas. It does not include exterior siding installation, tile work, or decorative plaster unless specified. The focus remains on delivering paint and finish work that holds up over time and supports the overall renovation scope.
What to expect before the work begins
Homeowners planning a renovation want to know how painting fits into the overall schedule, what materials are used, and how the work stays aligned with their vision.
What is the difference between a remodel and a renovation?
A remodel changes the layout or function of a space, while a renovation updates or restores existing features. Both require painting, but timing and prep work differ based on the scope of structural changes.
How do you match paint to existing finishes in untouched rooms?
You bring a sample of the existing paint or provide the original color code, and Ramey Paint Contracting matches it using spectrophotometer tools or custom mixing. Test patches are applied to confirm the match before full application.
What happens if walls are uneven after drywall work?
All walls are sanded and inspected before priming, and any low spots or ridges are filled and leveled. The goal is to create a smooth surface that does not show imperfections once paint is applied.
How long does paint need to dry before furniture is moved back in?
Most latex paints dry to the touch within a few hours, but you should wait at least 24 hours before placing furniture against walls. Full cure takes about two weeks, so avoid heavy cleaning or scrubbing during that time.
Why does paint sometimes look different after it dries?
Paint color shifts slightly as it dries due to changes in sheen and lighting. Viewing samples in the actual room under natural and artificial light helps you anticipate the final appearance before committing to a color.
Ramey Paint Contracting handles large-scale updates with consistent quality and communication, so your renovation stays on schedule and every surface looks finished. Get in touch to plan your whole home renovation in Durango.
