What Fairplay does to paint
Fairplay sits at the top of South Park at 9,953 feet, and Alma up the road is the highest incorporated town in the country at 10,578. Both are open to the wind, which drives grit and water into every gap, and the sun is strong while the nights stay cold even in July.
The homes
Historic buildings along Front Street, ranch houses and cabins on the valley floor, and newer homes in the trees toward Alma and the pass, mostly wood siding, log and stain.
How we work there
We group Fairplay and Alma jobs with work on the Summit County side of the pass so the crew is already over Hoosier, and we plan exteriors for July and August when the nights hold.
Three ways in, rated like trails.

Siding, log and timber, stain on decks and fences. Washed, scraped, sanded, primed, then two coats of the product the elevation calls for.
What's included
Advanced
Commercial and HOA
Townhome rows, storefronts, offices and common areas, scheduled around tenants and the season, with one point of contact.
What's included
The mountain is hard on paint.
A coat that lasts twelve years in Denver can go in four up here. The difference is almost never the paint. It is the prep under it.
- Ultraviolet
- About a third stronger at 9,000 feet than at sea level. It chalks and fades a coat that would last years down the hill.
- Freeze and thaw
- Most nights from October to May. Water gets behind paint that was put over unprimed wood and lifts it off by spring.
- The season
- Exterior work needs nights above about 40 degrees, so the window is short. We book it early and prep in the shoulder weeks.
